[Nulla Boy]

Win this and we're finals bound no doubt.

Win this and we're finals bound no doubt.

We typically don't do well when given an opportunity to make our lives easier. That's why I am going with a Newcastle win by 4.

 

[HaroldBishop]

We'll win this. Newcastle are hot garbage.

 

[vicsharkfan]

This game worried me a fortnight ago, seriously we will be in this up to our eyeballs even without SJ.

 

[Gumby]

We’ll win this!

 

[Sharkyle]

Knights will be looking to respond to the warriors loss. I expect them to be much much better. Need SJ back for this one. I reckon we can win but will be very close Sharks by 2

SJ ain’t back, coach pretty much ruled him out at press conference sat night.

 

[Tiger Shark]

SJ ain’t back, coach pretty much ruled him out at press conference sat night.

And it's a 9 day turn around to the Warriors game so rest him and he'll be good to go for the next game.

 

[snowman]

the knights just got pantsed, ponga and pearce will be killing for a bounce back game

no sj, no party in this game, especially if chad is back

 

[Sir Chadley]

Yeah I would have been more confident if the Knights had beaten the Warriors.

With them being flogged though, they will not want that to happen again and O'Brien would be into them this week not to take us lightly and lift their game.

Bad time to be getting them in my opinion.

Yes, there will be no SJ so it will be Tracey and Trindall again.

I did have this down as a loss a few weeks ago so I won't be cutting my wrists if we lose it.

 

[Gards]

we owe these knobs a good dust up like the good ol days. prob wont happen without SJ though . will do well just to win and I would take that

 

[egg]

Reckon Tracey and Trindall will be EVEN better this week if Chad and Johnno still spelled .
I believe Morris's main focus is now defence and ALL players in the Sharks squad have been put on notice .
You leak points by not playing your part , you WILL be dropped and may NOT get back for finals.
If we hold them 18 or less , we win

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

We haven't beaten a team in the 8 yet have we ?

 

[Patrick]

Manly were in the 8 when we beat them.... Does that count?

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

I guess that does count.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Barring any unknown injuries, it should be an easy pick for the 17 this week:

Kennedy
Katoa
Dugan
Ramien
Mulitalo
Tracey
Trindall
BHU
Brailey
Woods
Nikora
Graham
Sorenson

Rudolf
Fifita
Talakai
Hunt

Boy that is a mean bench!

Bomber may name SJ in the squad of 21 but he won't play.

 

[stormshark]

Chad Townsend will play,interesting which way Coach goes in partnership. I'm guessing Connor Tracy.

Really? That's not what I'm hearing.

 

[Thresher]

Really? That's not what I'm hearing.

I'm loving the new inside info Mr Chad.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Think Chad really is our number 7 chad..
