Looks like Katoa is going to have to bide his time which is a bit harsh considering how important his finishing is for us. But I acknowledge that it’s hard to change a winning team. So basically unchanged for us. Brisbane’s team is basically unrecognisable these days, we should be good enough to beat them up there but they are due one of their rare games where everything just clicks for them. Our guys go up there with a good attitude and no complacency (please, I’m begging you) then there’s no reason why they can’t come back with two more points in the bank.

Sharks by 8.

Aside from thinking Tieg might start no real surprises.

 

[Gal The Goat]

I do think they are a better team with Oates on one of their wings, and Staggs back is a huge boost, but really that side is terrible and we should be finding a way to win this at all costs.

Can’t be rocking up thinking we have already won it, but I really can’t see many points in their spine

Could see Katoa come back in potentially, not sure how that shifts things around, maybe Tracey bumps Trindall off the bench

It is imo, and not just finishing. His work coming out of his own end is probably the best of any 3/4 this year.

In the comp or our team?

 

[MMsharks]

just hope we don't switch off
starts are always crucial up at Suncorp. need to start well.
from memory, few years back we dropped it off the kick off and it was all over from there

Ronnie to have a blinder and media will say, "shame he didn't play for QLD!!"

 

[Addy]

Whoever wins gets to have Suncorp as a home ground

 

[apezza]

Should win comfortably

Sharks 14 to 12

Bizarrely I’m less confident about this game than the previous 4 games which ended up being wins. Just hope broncos stay sihht for at least one more week.

 

[Gumby]

Spewing I can’t make this. Stuck in Melbourne till Monday.

Some people say the darnedest things.
At the moment, you should be thankful for that.

This might make things interesting. Although it might also work against us.

“Karmichael Hunt tore his calf, Ben Te’o tore his calf and Albert Kelly tore his hamstring, and Brendan Piakura damaged his ankle.

“Three of these four players would have been in the side for Sunday when they take on the Sharks.

“What the side looks like come Sunday, we’ll know a bit more as lockdown continues but not great news for the Broncos. Four injured last Sunday.”

Must have been a fair training session

 

[Western Sharkie]

Must have been a fair training session

Ikin gives Kevvie until rounds 6-8 next year but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is shown the door much sooner.

 

[stormshark]

Can Kevvie Pull a Rabbit out of a Hat? they won last 7 of 8 or something against us?!

 

[Tiger Shark]

Who will they bring in though? Think they need to be more patient than that.

Flanno and Son

 

[Sir Chadley]

I can't see this game going ahead with all the Covid stuff and if it does, I think we will lose.

It's just the Cronulla way.

Go on a winning streak, come up against a **** team and lose.

Today QLD Covid news fairly encouraging
2 more days of that and could even be crowds
