Quality game tonight. Both teams full of intensity must be absolutely out on their feet and it compares well with Thursday nights game of the Panthers and the Eels.

A sobering thought though, is that if I’m really honest, the Sharks are nowhere near the quality of those four teams at the moment, and it’s probably a couple more that are much better than us.

We have so much work to do, especially in defence and intensity to come anywhere near where these other teams are at. At the moment, and I know it’s only early in the season, I think we are so far away from being a top 4 team and even making the top eight is going to be a tough task.

On Sunday, we really need to come out firing against the Dragons, on paper we should be miles ahead of them. It’s about time we went out and play with the intensity and the desire we know we’re capable off.

I don’t think Sharks can beat The Dolphins after what they’ve shown in the first 4 games.

A lot “in the know” predicted they’d be wooden spooners.

Dolphins are looking pretty good. Not sure they have the depth to go far in the comp, but it is funny how many people on here thought they would get the spoon or be in the bottom 4.

Well they are stuck with Milf now likely for next 3-4 months if SOS is a serious pec injury

Just saw the extended highlights of the Dolphins game on watchnrl.com.
Pretty intense game by the looks of it. O'Sullivan's injury might be a big blow to their hopes of reaching the 8/9th spot. Still with Bennett in the coaching box you never know. And with 3 wins, they're already assured to finish above the Tigers on the ladder at the end of the season.

Now, I know the Broncos are undefeated so far, but I'm still not convinced they'll have a good season (understand make at least the Top 8 and reach the 2nd week of the Finals). I believe since his Catalan Dragon days that Walters is a ultimately a poor coach. And I haven't seen anything yet to change my opinion. I'm getting vibes of Dragons under McGregor.

Feels like broncos have had one of the healthiest squads so far too?

Walsh missed one game, Oates out for a bit. Probably had at least 16 of their best 17 on field each week?

If they can keen that going they’ll do very well, like most teams who can stay that healthy would
