"probably better". You usually make insightful calls but this is flat out wrong. Its true their forwards are household names but thats it. Our forwards will smash them sideways. Its our advantage. I will take our pack over theirs any day of the week.

Wooloo-where??
Home ground advantage plus my prediction of 16,000 should swing it our way. 50/50 if Todd doesn't play

I think we CAN win, but with our injuries / people returning from injuries, we could easily get belted.

We will have to bring our A game to win I reckon.

As long as we are not tied after 80, and we go for a field goal in extra time which is charged down by an opposition player and falls into a sharks player hands, who was offside from the kick but was put onside due to the rules of the game and they get a penalty and go down the other end and kick a field goal and the commentators say Wat a champion play it was and then the ref comes out and said he made a mistake but it makes **** all difference saying it now.. Breath..

Then I'll be happy :)

When I first saw the draw I was happy to play the Titans at home in Round One. I thought it would be a good start for us. No Manly, No Storm, no Dogs first up was going to be good.

But I think we could be a little underdone. Boy I hope I'm wrong, but we have a lot of new key players and they will need some time to gel. TC has had no game time at all, and I think Flanno will leave him out of the game. For mine it's Townsend and Robson to start which puts us behind the 8 ball already. Lewis is not match fit yet, Gals only played 30 mins, I just think we could struggle here.

Agreed, be hard to get our combinations well rehearsed with all the off season injury problems too

Man i cant even remember the last game i got to at home. Been to a few Newy v Sharks games in newy. I think it might been in 2001 (or 2002) a night game vs the Knights when we smashed em, Peach scored a try on half time from a Matty johns chip and chase gone wrong. Either that game or one where we gave Canberra a flogging and it was absolutely pissing down rain. Either way, Ive been to a few Sharks games in my time, we havent lost 1 yet!

Haha, that game in 2001 against the knights was the first sharks home game i ever went to. Went down on a knights supporters bus with a few mates (i was the only sharks fan on the bus), copped a good natured ribbing on the way down but the sharks won so no one spoke to me on the way home, haha.

This weekend I won't be able to make it due to work commitments, in which I can not get out of. I will get the Missus to tape the game. ( I'm pissed about it, alas I can't do anything about it) enjoy the game ladies and gents

I think the Titans might surprise a few in this game. Big strong forwards and I think we might be a bit underdone as well.
