NRL Round 8, 2016: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Penrith Panthers, Sunday 24 April 4:00pm @ Southern Cross Group Stadium

[HaroldBishop]

I'm very confident we win this which always makes me feel uncomfortable.

 

[Tank]

Let's hope Roosters bash them tonight. Short turnaround for Panthers as well. We should win this and win well

 

[djhabib]

Never confident against the panfas

 

[sharks2010]

They haven't been playing as poorly as their ladder position suggests but we should account for them since it's at home. Hopefully a nice sunny day and since it's a public holiday on the Monday there is no reason we can't get a crowd of 15k plus

 

[Sutty]

I think we match up pretty well against them. Their defense is pretty awful a lot of games, win the forwards and keep their Cartwrights and Sowards trying to tackle and it'll be all good.

 

[northofthebordershark]

This is a game we should win well, an ideal hit out leading into the Bronx game.

I'm hoping Val keeps searching for invovement, he's looking very dangerous. Tipping the Sharkies by 13+

 

[snowman]

we'll do them

I always circle this game on the draw. I live near Penrith and some of my friends and family are Panther fans. Always a good day out when we head out to Sharks v Panthers.

I won't say we'll definitely win, but I'll back us in for a good tight win here for sure. 26-18 to us.

I'm sorry mate.

 

[CrazyMatt]

I'm sorry mate.

Every day's a battle for survival HB. Just got to take it one day at time........*clutches Shark's scarf*...........one day at a time.......

 

[sharks2010]

So who misses out to accommodate the return of lewis. Beale or paulo?

The logical choice would be Beale, but you know..............

Gotta be Beale. The guy played less then 10 minutes last game and I have a feeling he only got game time at the end there so he could 'just have a quick run'. I know he was handy against the Titans because of what happened to Jimmy. But I don't like the idea of having someone sit on the bench 'just in case someone gets hurt', feels like we're wasting the spot. If we had an 18th man for injuries rule, then yeah that's probably where Beale would be.

We actually get a game at Penrith this year too don't we? That's a handy one for me because my sister is up that way so I've got free accommodation and a deso.

For sure, Chad came off without any sign of injury. Which is also strange, I probably would've given Barba a rest if anyone as he struggled big time to get back on side for the two 20m restarts late in the game (never made it for the Rapana try & it was late in the set for the other).

Yeah. Always go to the game in Penrith. Post game beers at Panthers is always a highlight.

 

[Sharkyle]

A game we really should win, im expecting a good crowd and a good performance from the boys. Can't see us losing this one, sharks by 20

 

[deano the p]

I do pregame beers there then head back to the esky at the sisters post game.

 

[Gumby]

Lewis in for Beale hopefully.

Confident again we win this. Will be close though, sharks 24-16

I'm going with gal.., do we know if he got sighted
