is anyone more confident this week than the last?
normal apprehensive levels as a sharks supporter, i am bouyd thus far that all the finals games have been real defense oriented that suits our style we cant attack as well as some of the teams but i love it when we get into a grind

Lewis is 100%? Fifita also ran freely this week so that's good. Carney will be right for next week too!

There is no way we would be able to compete try for try against Manly (especially with Carney out) so our best chance is to grind out a win.

If I was Flanno my gameplan would be for us to use every inch of "razzel dazzel" we have in this side to score the first try, then to defend, defend, defend! I would also instruct Gal to take the two with almost every penalty we get in Manly's half. Use the old 2008 tactics. Only if Manly hit the lead should we chance our arm a bit.

It won't be entertaining footy, but if we win who gives a ****?

Hey guys, where is most of the Cronulla support going to be. I had to wait till today to buy tickets because of pay day. I was offered tickets from Ticketek in Bay 15?

Is the club selling any tickets?

I know a real fan may know the answer to these questions but i have been sooo busy lately!

Probably best to look at this thread Henry:

http://www.sharksforever.com/forums/showthread.php?140244-Sharks-bays-v-Manly

Judging by the venue map on the Ticketek website, it looks like Bay 15 will be predominately Manly, although it seems like we have been out buying them, so we may now be encroaching on their bays. Try and get tickets more towards the "SCG end" if possible.


EDIT: just read the last post in the above thread and it looks like Bay 15 is now being allocated to Sharks. They have probably already sold some tickets to Manly supporters though, so maybe it will end up about a 50/50 split or something.

I'm surprised at how many people are confident given Todd is out. Whatever happens we've done well to get this far.

Might as well have confidence. It doesn't cost anything and you're never going to win anything without it. We should turn up to win no matter who we throw out there.

I understand what you're saying though.

Yep I have no doubt we will turn up and I'm hoping like hell we win. I just think everyone has forgotten how much we rely on Todd. Robson has been playing well but you know there's always a crap game just around the corner from him. Let's hope it's not this week.

This is the message of support I sent in for this fridays game which will be hopefully displayed to the team

"Remember that League is a team game; all 12 of you make sure you pass the ball to Fifita"

The Sharks facebook page has asked people to send in messages to this as well

Last weekend I thought we would definitely win and this week I'm semi confident. We are definitely in with a big show even without Todd but I may be just talking myself into it. Manly are a such a tough side, all we can do is throw everything at the kitchen sink at them. If we go out it will be at the hands of a very good football team.
