Scoreboard could get ugly if we dish up the same as last week. Defence it what will win us this game, if we can frustrate the storm by turning them away from our line we could be in with a shot.

if we lose this and get pumped we could end up around 13th on the ladder.

If the bottom clubs get a win of course.

Let's see what happens, Bellamy & the team may take us a bit lightly with all our injuries & think they already have the game won. Our defence hasn't been nearly as strong as it should be recently but lets just hope our defence will tighten up this week. This is Kyles chance to stand up now & show he is NRL quality, lets see what he has. I at least want to see us go fighting, opposite of what happened with Brisbane.

Type of bloke to run 100m untouched but still do a flip in the corner for the highlights, but I’m glad Katoa is back

The way they've been playing the last few weeks I doubt it. I think it'd mainly be about what they gotta fix more than what there opponents are up to.

Ambush time BABY !
They have new centre Marion Seve on their left ( our right )
They'll take us lightly , with our injuries .
Hopefully like the Raiders did in the 2016 Finals series
Not to discount the fact we HATE Them .


From Nikora in his thread

The Sharks won the under-20s competition last year and were minor premiers in the National Youth Cup the year before.

They also made last year's NSW Cup grand final through feeder club Newtown, and have played in under-16s and under-18s deciders in the past five years.

"We do (bring that confidence in)," Nikora said.

"Especially us working together all the way through juniors. We're confident in each other and the job we can do together."

Their combinations will never be more evident than on the right edge against the Storm.

Kyle Flanagan will join back-rower Nikora and centre Xerri on that side of the field for the next month, in what will be the playmaker's longest stint in the NRL so far, with Johnson injured.

"He's my half, I know how he plays," Nikora said.

"It's big advantage. Especially coming through the under-20s and knowing how each other play."

I've seen Storm play bad. I've never seen them take a game lightly. Just absolute LOL at comparing their mentality to that of the Raiders.

Type of bloke to run 100m untouched but only make 3m progress

I’m going to add to the negativity on this thread and say I think we will get battered.

I know your a desperate young egg trying to grasp the tiniest of straws, but come on, they’re too good to make a mistake like that. Look who they’re captain and coach is. Nah too professional to make the kind of mistake we’d make in their position.

Melbourne will be licking there lips at the chance to belt us this week. Has been a competitive few years between us and they will be keen to rub salt in our wounds.

This game will ruin careers - need to make sure we take down at least 1 Storm player with us. it wont be through playing better this round so foul play and dog shots it is. purple scum have had it coming.
look... someone just break chambers face I will deem this game a successful outing and use of club resources

will need an extra ambulance on stand by, not for ****face, for our F/A - it gunna need go straight to emergency post game

Now watch our bi-polar club go out and make a game of this somehow then lose by a penalty goal
