Not confident with this one. It'll be the clapper's revenge, they'll win and act like it was a GF.

They're a good side and like most others here I'm not super confident, I reckon Fifs, Prior, Gal will fire right up and we're a pretty decent chance.

Although not the end of the world it would be less than ideal to be 0 from 2.

Are you going mate?

My last Sharks game was pretty ****ing glorious mate so I'm not real keen to mess with that. Still undecided at the moment - was gonna tag along with a mate but his Mrs just had a kid so he's not sure he'll make it now.

On a selection note, do we think Brailey could handle a full game to run 4 forwards on the bench? I think we need to match the monster Canberra pack although Brailey will probably get targeted through the middle he'd be tired and less potent having to make 40+ tackles. Would like to see Trex get a run this week just give him the ball and tell him to run as hard and fast as he can.

No I don't think so. I think 60 is fine for him at the moment. Plus I'm not willing to dump Nu to reserves after one quiet game.

No way. Brailey is getting way too many plaudits at this stage and whilst I hate not having a 80 minute hooker it just isn't going to happen. Nothing against Brailey, the blokes played one NRL game, but he didn't run much and he hasn't kicked yet. I hope he is everything that everyone is hoping he will be, but he doesn't yet deserve the praise he is getting. He is getting lauded for tackling and nice passing. Nice start but that is about it as far I'm concerned.

Against my better judgement, I agree. I'd like to see him in action and hope he give us a bit of X factor in attack. Our attack was a bit worrying last week.

He's no Mick Ennis, I hope we see Seggy soon I think him and Brailey would be a perfect combo but we need an 80 minute hooker.

Apparently he had a good game for newtown last week, don't know how he'll crack the side though. We still have Jeremy Latimore in reserves too, I thought I remember him being decent.

I'm inclined to agree. I'd like to see Brailey get his apprenticeship done in the lower grades and used the experienced Segeyaro whilst we still have the majority of a premiership winning side in tact.
