Yes we all know Bellamys only fault is too loyal. We will see. But if Hynes comes on off the bench, he has to play as a forward and not as an extra back, it just throws our line out

I guess that sums up our bench then for the finals..

Grant, NAS, Tui & Hynes.
I'm happy with this, just switch Grant's name with Smith and then we've got 3 forwards and a utility back, compared to 1 hooker, 2 forwards and a utility. Its 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other.

NAS and Tui are able to give JB and Christian valuable rest time while being equally, if not sometimes superior, in talent and ability than those they are replacing.

Cronulla probably don't need to win, just not get hammered

they will give it 100 per cent. and it will be a real example of how the rest of the season goes. My feelings are last time we plated Cronulla we were the hunters; now we are the hunted.

I'm assuming Atkinson will be the last to drop out at 5pm and Loiero or Johns will be 18th man

I really want Storm to win, not only to get momentum going into the finals, but nothing would be sweeter than being the team that prevents the sharks from taking part in this years finals!!

I’m expecting a big game from paps, he needs a big game heading into finals next week.

I think if paps has a good game he will have the number 1 jersey next week but if he struggles and has another off game Hynes will take the number 1 next week.

This is a very important game for paps, I hope he kills it.

FFS Ieremia, stay out on your f-ing wing! :banghead:

Some costly mistakes/laziness from Lewis not helping matters either.

So far the NSW refs and bunker have given the flake a 6 again on their 5th tackle, not checked the foot on line when rewarding a try and an obstruction when the player was never going to get to the player with the ball. Looks like the flake can't win without the refs!!
