NRL Round 21 2016 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Gold Coast Titans @ Cbus Super Stadium Monday August 1 @ 7pm

[Sir Chadley]

Are we all ready for Dosit's good oil?

 

[Addy]

Thats not really what im saying. Im saying Melbourne are keeping up with us, on our you beaut winning streak, have a better for and against, and are doing it without 1 of the best fullbacks to ever play the game....what part of that dont you understand? How is that a losers mentality? We are on fire, no doubt, but i think Melbourne are the better side

Melbourne also have the referees boss

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

It can't be rigged when it's Cameron's choice to play for the Storm

 

[Born&bred]

He wouldn't get a start anywhere else

 

[dosit]

I feel like our winning streak will end tonight and Titans will beat us in the end but should be a close game and a cracker.

 

[Tatus]

*insert 1 page of dosit discussions and half a page of "ignore him" talk*

... Glad we got that out of the way

thanks bud .....time to put my money on the sharkies and you say close game so I am betting 13+

 

[Gumby]

Fifita for MOM tonight. Predicting a huge game from the big man

 

[BurgoShark]

We havent been perfect either. They have won 8/9 and their combos are starting to click. They are third for a reason. Will be a very tough game

That reason: Soft draw through the Origin period.

Last 8 rounds for the Raiders: Manly, Brisbane (backing up), Bye, Titans, Knights, Cowboys (without origin players), Bye, Warriors, Souths.

Will be a tough game for sure, but IMHO moreso because both teams are short of a run against quality opposition.

 

[Tank]

So Peats is out. At least that's whats been reported on Titans forum. Hope so. he makes a huge difference to that mob!

ash taylor as well

 

[Gards]

I'm nervous not sure what to expect. Just want a win tonight even if it's ugly

 

[Tank]

ash taylor as well

That is a good result as well.

 

[Proud Shark]

If taylor and peats are out we are a lock. Confident regardless though. Anything official on either of them though or just still rumours?

nah we've had enough ugly wins of late. Time to step it up a gear. I want a high completion rate from the boys tonight

 

[Paul C]

Not really. They are hitting their straps now. Im very nervous about them

i think we can rely on the raiders to have a sleepy period during the match. We need to punish them during that period. They cannot produce 80 minutes of consistent football.

 

[BurgoShark]

soft draw?

mate we havent travelled outside nsw since round 1.

we have had a soft draw

Yep. Agreed. Lack of plane travel is likely a factor. Hopefully one that keeps 'em fresh when it matters. My point stands though - the Raiders have been getting good results, but aside from a win against the Bulldogs in May or their loss to Brisbane I wouldn't say they have played anyone who was going well at the time. They are getting the results though, so they definitely belong ahead of the likes of the Dragons, Panthers, Warriors etc. who all had similar draws though the same period and couldn't take advantage.
