[Mr Ryan]

My bet on Sportsbet:

Holmes anytime tryscorer

Sharks 1-12

Sharks total points 12+

Paying $10

Fire up boys

 

[Sparkles]

Can Gal still go out there and run the water?

And end up playing more minutes than if he were named?

 

[Sparkles]

Can we get any clarification on this duges being fit and not playing ****?

The question is will he play 20 minutes or 60?

 

[Sparkles]

Saw this post pop up in the thread and read the first word as 'Fif'.

Gave me a heart start. I'm not myself today.

Haha I was exactly the same! That's classic Sharks fan paranoia

 

[Sparkles]

No way. Storm are at least two tries better than us. I think we will be in this for a long way but in the last 15 mins or so, our courage won't see us past that point and Melbourne will ice the game.

Could be locked up with 10 or so to go but in my view Melbourne win by something like 22-10 or 24-10.

I'm all in on a healthy dose of 'travelling to Melbourne to play in Slater's last Melbourne game' pessimism, but that's just not true. It just depends how it unfolds on the night (say, tonight....).

All in on a healthy dose of optimism that your travelling to Melbourne for Billy Divers last ever game.

Just want to say how proud i am of everyone attending, placing a few bucks on us, or holding a candle... we have a chance, we made it this far, we've done this before... And hey, no doubting this is a real challenge, but we've triumphed under similar adversary before. So be satisfied with what we've managed to achieve, but hope for more... because we're the drag them into a dogfight, arm wrestle them into submission, out enthuse them bloody Sharks!!

Up up Cronulla!!
