It’s time to hear from the other side of the local rivalry.
Boldo is joined by Big T from the Mad Dragons Vodcast for an opposition fan’s perspective ahead of the Cronulla Sharks’ clash with the St George Illawarra Dragons at Kogarah.
Big T gives us the honest assessment of what has gone wrong for the Dragons this season, where their biggest defensive vulnerabilities sit and why Sharks wingers Ronaldo Mulitalo and Sione Katoa could be in for productive afternoons.
The boys also discuss:
• The enormous potential of the Couchman brothers
• The Dragons’ struggles in the halves and outside backs
• Where the Sharks can expose the Dragons defensively
• The history and family connections behind the Sharks–Dragons rivalry
• Big T’s thoughts on the St George Illawarra merger
• The best players to have represented both clubs
• Bo Scott, Lance Thompson, Trent Barrett, Steve Rogers and more
• The painful 1999 preliminary final
• Big T’s prediction for Sunday’s match
It is a good-natured but fiercely one-eyed discussion between two passionate supporters ahead of another chapter in one of rugby league’s great local rivalries.
