Big game this! I truly believe if we win this we are a good a chance as any of taking out the minor.

Would love to get to this but work is in the way. Got a few tickets laying around so if anyone would like 2x GA tickets, PM me your details and I'll post them out to you

We beat them twice in the regular home n away last year, then they pantsed us when it really mattered, happy to return the favour this season. Glad we got the win last night hate to have gone into this not wanting to lose 2 in a row.

Funnily enough I was a work function a few weeks back meeting different people, anyway the subject of footy got brought up.

One of the guys was from QLD & I asked him who he followed, said Cowboys, asked who I followed, sharks.

he said, "oh the bloody sharks", he said "I like you guys but you are our bogey team"

I reminded him about the semi last year where they pumped us but he said, if we play you guys in the finals most of my mates who are Cowboys supporters will dread playing the sharks.

Funny how our other supporters think things about certain teams, I've never considered us to have the wood on the Cowboys.

Can't wait for this one. It will be a beauty. It's an out of town team we're playing so even though I'm expecting a good crowd I don't think it'll be more than 15,000 or 16,000.

And yes, anyone talking about us winning the Minor Premiership now in Round 14 is deluded. It's not on my radar, top 2 finish is the key.

It will be tough to get a big crowd on a Monday night game, crazy stuff by the broadcasters or whoever got first dibs not to have this as the feature match of the round.

Can't see the crowd being more than 12000 personally being a Monday night.

It is the long weekend too though, hopefully that bumps the crowd up a bit. Really this should be a Monday arvo game due to everyone having the day off, would be far better.

Couldn't give a rat's about the minor premiership, means nothing.
It's nothing on a Premiership but it's still a big accomplishment & the money should never be turned down.

I want to see us take both out but would of course settle for the Premiership only.

It being on Monday night is stopping me from being able to get there.

We play the storm in Melbourne in round 26. Could possibly determine who the minor premiers will be.

Anyway enough about the minor premiership!

I'm more confident of beating the Cowboys then the dogs last night because I know the boys will be up for it. Sharks 24-18

A win takes us to 26 points with 11 games to go. Who'd have thought we'd be here at the beginning of the season

A win against the Cowboys gives us just two losses in the first 16 rounds. That's amazing, hell if we lose that's 3 losses. That's also great.

And those two losses was a Rd1 loss to the Premiers when we were still working on combos and against Manly at Brookvale which we never win.

Would be nice to beat them which would mean we would have beaten every team we've played this year if that makes sense.

If we beat them, I honestly can't see us dropping another game. We don't play another top 4 side till round 26 v the storm. Knocked Brisbane around, would love claim the cowboys scalp at home too and keep our undefeated record in tact.

Love the enthusiasm but there are still potentially some tough games.
Warriors mid origin are always tough.
Eels and raiders on their day can beat anyone.
Penrith without our origin players wont be a walk in the park either.
Also the titans have shaken us up the last few times.

Also these games dont have that big game feel that its easy to get up for. As good as it would be theres no way we roll through all those games easy.

Wow, love the confidence, even if we lose to the Cowboys, you cant see us losing till round 26.
