Sharks paying $201 to win the Grand Final on Sportsbet. Is that a record for a team in the top 8?

Coaches plan working
Trick other teams into believing we can't defend .
Then put up the Great Wall of China defence strategy come the finals .
Looking forward to seeing it in action on Saturday
PS : Good luck Thresh

If we can't/wont tackle we will get flogged and that's why there is no Nikora or Mulitalo in my line-up.

1 - Kennedy
2 - Katoa
3 - Dugan
4 - Ramien
5 - Hiroti
6 - Tracey
7 - Trindall
8 - Woods
9 - Brailley
10 - BHU
11 - Sorensen
12 - Talakai
13 - Graham

14 - Fifita
15 - Rudolf
16 - Wilton
17 - Williams

And no Townsend either. I'm not a hater, Chad is what he is, predictable, has tunnel vision, and very little flair.

You know Mulitalo isn't getting dropped, why do you even bother mentioning it.

Also Hiroti has played two games this year. First one was TERRIBLE, second one was at centre against a Reserve grade team. You're not dropping Ronnie

Why do you think teams target Mulitalo's wing? He has no clue in defence and regularly leaves his wing wide open. And with no Ferris, and Macdonald way short of match fitness, Hiroti picks himself.

Would it be inappropriate if I posted a photo of someone parting their arse cheeks?

If we are focusing on blokes who can defend then Kennedy, Wade, and possibly Ramien & Williams should be cut from the squad too...

And I actually think putting Chad back into the 7 is the sensible thing to do now - partner him with Tracey in the 6.
Wade @ 13 yes

Sounds stupid I know, but it is waaay to late in the year to spend hours at training trying to fix our defence now. We have to hope the intensity of a Final’s match will put some heart and soul into our boys that they will come out with an iron will to smash Canberra backward. We have enough big fellas in the team to put big hits on them.

At training, I’d be more focussed on our attack. We can score points. We just have to make sure that if Canberra score 28, we need to score 30.

It's not just him though, it's that whole side that isn't communicating. Yes he's not faultless but if you watch, he's coming in because the centre has come in, or someone else has come in. And alot of what he's doing is coached, it's just not working and we haven't adapted.

Point is it's not just on Ronnie, they're targeting that whole edge of players.

Ronnie is under no pressure this week, cause he/we all know it’s going to be chads fault.

imo Talakai needs to be our 11 this weekend. Graham at 12 and Rudolph in the 13. Nikora can go to the bench.
