About this episode

The episode discusses the Cronulla Sharks' loss to the Sydney Roosters, analyzing player performances and team issues.

The ET Stand crew is back for the Round 16 debrief after the Cronulla Sharks went down 25-8 to the Sydney Roosters. In this episode, we break down a frustrating night for Cronulla, including the return of Nicho Hynes and Blayke Brailey, the Sharks’ attack looking clunky, the lack of polish in the red zone, the discipline problems, the refereeing frustrations and the moments that swung the game away from the Sharks. We also discuss whether the Sharks missed Toby Rudolf’s energy and line speed, how the Hynes-Trindall combination looked on return, the pressure around Cronulla’s highest-paid players, Blayke Brailey’s huge defensive effort in his comeback game and what the bye week needs to fix before the run home. Plus, we go through the 3-2-1 votes, the Challenge Meter update and the live comments from Sharks fans.
