How on earth are we going to manufacture points against them? I honestly have no idea.

It might be a case of the game being a very low scoring game, they aren't no attacking maestro's either, in fact they might even have the lowest points scored out of all the teams, we just need to make sure we don't leak our usual soft tries.

Gotta give the drags credit. Their defence is awesome and our attack not so much.

Still, we tend to bring our A game to the most difficult games of the season. You never know.

Does Flanno watch the jets?
Roqica was great last weekend. Bent the line, scored a try, a lovely off load that created a break (maybe a try). He seemed to be the best forward on the park. But instead we pick fuggen Jane?!

To be fair Roqica was ripping it up in NSW Cup last year but did little to inspire when he was called up to first grade. Look overawed and not ready for the big time with the big boys, just didn't have anywhere near the same level if impact. Having said that have no problem with him getting another crack, particularly at the expense of '1 hitup and it's smoko Jane'

Yeah I can see us getting pantsed here. 14-0 or something like that. The queens have a brick wall where they're defence should be.

Better call on that NRL Rookie that ran through one then

I don't rate the Dragons so I'm pretty confident. Need Feefs to back up though.
We really do and as long as he doesn't cop an injury in Origin 1 I think it will help us. If NSW lose Fifita will be fired up although possible back to giving away cheap shot penalties but if they Win he will be high on confidence and belief. Just need to keep Gallen away from him so he doesn't get some friendly blues captain advice to 'rest up' at the expense of a few club games...

I'll be Keen to watch our NRL rookie "Bird" see what he produces against the old club.

Don't jinx it mate, our players seem to turn to poo against their old clubs. Complete opposite to what usually happens when the play against us...

Settling touch finders are a must for us Sunday. Robbo may well bore some mistakes out of St Merge.

Talking to him after the Titans game he said he can't wait to play the Dragons.
I think he will have a big one.

If both sides play to their best I can't see us having the attack to trouble them enough to win. Nightingale will probably pull some arsey **** and steal it late.

It doesn't matter which side you're on tonight as Sharkies we should hope Dugan gets a workout sufficent to see him not back-up. If Marshall, Widdop & Frizelle could find a way of ruling themselves out that'd be good too.

Sharks: Don’t rule out a Paul Gallen comeback. He was originally aiming for this week and is back in full training, although he’s likely to be saved for next round. “I’m going really well. I’ve been in full training, which is good,” Gallen told 2KY on Thursday. “I’ll have a scrimmage session tonight with the boys which means there’ll be a lot more contact involved. And I’m actually going for a scan this morning to just make sure things are healing really well. Fingers crossed I’ll be out there in the next couple of weeks.” Ricky Leutele (shoulder) is a chance to be a late inclusion in place of Blake Ayshford. Sosaia Feki (knee) is aiming for round 15. The season of Jacob Gagan (Achilles) is likely over.

Late mail for this round, not sure how much substance there is to it.

Sucks that Feki might be further away than anticipated.
