Below are our first five games for 2019, how do you think we'll fare?

Knights (away)
Titans (home)
Cowboys (away)
Eels (away)
Roosters (home)

At first glance I reckon four of those five are very winnable.

Roosters of course, even at home will be tough.

But I think if we're worse than 3 from 5 after this, it'll be a bad result.

3 and 2 for no other reason than we're very inconsistent over the opening rounds.

Knights (away) - Should be winning this game by 6-10 points. I know we trolleyed them in the trials but we should still win this convincingly
Titans (home) - Should win this 13+ - They are **** compared to us.
Cowboys (away) - Should win this but not convincingly, tough grind, they have a great forward pack but dog **** backline, us by 4
Eels (away) - Should win this by 13+ but will settle for 10
Roosters (home) - Our toughest game of the opening rounds, would accept a loss here

Knights: win, will be close, but I think we’ll grind out a dirty low quality win here.
Titans: win even though we seem to play some of our worst footy against them for some reason and they’ve pulled our pants down in the recent past, so picking a win with little confidence.
Cowboys: lose, Never confident going to Townsville, JT or no JT.
Eels: win, we’ll do ok here I think, probably something a solid 8-10 point win.
Roosters: lose in golden point to a Cooper Cronk field goal. Bugger.

So 3-2. Which is a solid start I think.

We win in newcastle by 30 and ride the confidence to 5-0. Every other fan crys about cap dramas throughout.

We'll win Rd 1, then drop 3 in a row. Cue meltdown, then we'll beat Sydney.

it's not a Sharks season without a meltdown and wrist cutting prior to going on a winning streak

3 & 2 and sitting about 6th but we are better than all those teams and on par with Roosters (i.e. good enough to beat them)

Yep. This. We'll beat the Roosters after losing to the Eels. Always the way it goes with us.
