We should smash them by infinity, but wont if the boys turn up with that mentality. We need to be clinical in everything we do to send a message to the rest to the comp.

That said i reckon Manly by 16

*raises hand* I will.

It's a danger game if we defend like we did against the Chooks and Newcastle show the same sort of courage like they did against Melbourne.

That being said, I'll go 26-12 to us.

Mate... We are going to be arrested for how badly we are going to beat these poor bastards. Be nervous literally any other week of the year, but don't even worry. Mark us down for the 2 points already.

If newy were given 30-0 lead we'd still win 50-30

Can't help it mate. Been engrained in me as a Sharks fan for so long to be nervous about every match. I have seen us lose so many of these 'unloseable' games that I know not to take any game for granted. It would just be a 'Cronulla' thing to do to lose a game like this. Blame 1999.

Couple that with Newys decent game against the Storm and our ****house defence against the Chooks, yeah I'm nervous.

Newy were brave. They weren't good. Melbourne were absolutely dreadful and still got a win on the road with all their origin boys backing up.

Newy are away against a side who hasn't lost for 3 months and newy are losing an extra 3 players to injury and suspension. Relllllllaaaxx

Xmas comes around quickly these days. Knights could kick off now and we would still beat them. They'd probably kick out on the full anyway
Us by 50+

Reason for newy being down the bottom is because they ain't real capable of playing decent footy for 80 minutes let alone 2 games ina row. tried and played hard last week they have 4 forced changes that are quality players within their team, this week. They would have watched us out of sorts last night and I dare say are a little nervous of what we may do to them if flanno switches us on come Sunday arvo. 48-10..

Won't be happy if this mob puts four tries on us even if we hit 40. Our defence needs to improve before we hit the finals.

The sharks looked like a tired team last night. Maybe that means nothing, but personally I would rest Gal, Graham and Maloney. Add Fifita, Capewell and Brown. On top of that I would start Bukuya over Lewis. I reckon Flanno is a superstitious bloke though, so even though resting players for a game like this would be the smart play, he would worry that it would be bad luck to do it.
