The loss of gal is a big one but just capewell is a worthy replacement. He has to be close to most improved this year. I also just read dugan is back next week. So who gets dropped? Feki, lee are dynamite atm. I would be dropping leutele. Not because hes bad but because hes the least effective of our back 5.

The words Sharks and Melbourne have capital letters Ben. So does your name actually.
Where’s the game at?
What time does it start?
What day is it on?
So many questions left unanswered.

Felt good reading it, mate.
Prelim ladies and gentlemen. I think 4-5 weeks ago Chad had us missing the 8, many others waved away our top 4 chances. I text my mate after the Manly game and said "we're done".
I'm proud as ****. Everything from here is a bonus.
Don't get me wrong, I believe we can do Storm, we'll sure as **** leave everything we got on AAMI Park next Friday.

Yeeeah this thread doesn’t quite feel right. No official in the title, not set up like the others. Piss poor effort Benny.

Penrith were off the line extremely fast last night which stiffled our attack. You just know Melbourne will get tge same luxury and take it to another level.
I know we've had the wood on these grubby ****s but I think we're really up against it this time. Also we seem a bit busted and they've had a week off.

We are carrying a lot of injuries. The difference between executing against the Roosters and playing that extra week has really hurt us-Gallen being just one example.
It will be interesting to see how Flanno structures the pack if Gallen is out.

I am pretty happy to be playing these guys now instead of the GF. We go in as underdogs and if we win that is epic. If we lose it will be considered fair enough by most people.
Losing to the Storm in a GF however, would take away from 2016. I hate the thought of that happening. I love having 2016 over the Storm.

Defence is everything in this game. The Sharks have won 5 of the last 7 between the two clubs, but in those 7 games they've got past 14 points just once.

We really need to come out firing. Without Gallen I don't think we could win. We need his tough carries in the middle.
We really need Prior, Fifita, Gallen and woods to have big games
Last few years Melbourne haven't been able to work us out and we've grinded out wins.
I think by now Bellamy has our number, but with Wade out and possibly Gal out, their game plan will be shot.
Expect them to take the wrestling and slowing down to the next level

Lewis is a cork and he will be right to play!
Gallen sounds like he is a good chance but won't be able to train and it will come down to the wire.
IMO Flanno is probably playing games.

Cronulla Sharks receive promising injury news on veteran duo Paul Gallen and Luke Lewis
PAUL Gallen is back in race to tackle Melbourne in a grand final qualifier after MRI scans revealed the Sharks captain has suffered ligament damage to his left shoulder.
Forced from the field early in the second-half of the Sharks 21-20 elimination final win over Penrith on Friday night, Gallen will spend the next 48 hours in rehabilitation-mode as he strives to be fit for the biggest game of Cronulla’s season.
The scans also ruled out any fracture or tear to his rotator cuff.
MORE NEWS
While the news was met with positivity by the Sharks camp, Gallen was visibly distressed at the club’s recovery session at Caringbah pool yesterday.
It’s almost certain that if Gallen can recover in time for the Storm, he’ll be unable to train this week, as he consumes himself with ice bags and physiotherapy.
Meanwhile, the news was also positive for Luke Lewis, who has declared a fairytale ending to his illustrious career remains alive and well.
The Cronulla veteran who will retire at the end of this season was forced from the field with a leg injury in the second-half of the Sharks 21-20 elimination final win over Penrith on Friday night.
However, Lewis was all smiles at the Sharks recovery session as he revealed the injury-scare was merely a cork in his lower leg and that he’ll be fit to take on Melbourne in a grand final qualifier next Friday night.
“It was a cork in an awkward spot, where when I would try to takeoff, it was giving me a sharp pain,’’ Lewis said.
“I knew it was nothing major, but if I kept going I thought it could develop into something more serious.
“I should be back running with the boys on Monday or Tuesday, I’ll definitely be all right for the weekend.’’
The Sharks were this afternoon sweating on MRI scans on Paul Gallen’s injured shoulder with fears the inspirational captain is long odds to be fit for the AAMI Park blockbuster.
