Call me crazy but I think we're a sneaky chance this week against this mob. They've had a bit of luck lately, definitely due for a loss imo.

I loved what I saw from our attack yesterday. If we can replicate that again I'll be very happy.

I'm putting some dough on us at $4.00.

Yeah we played a style of footy yesterday Im not accustomed to , play like that we will take the 2 points , If Gal plays that little bit of inspiration could be the difference. And Fifita straightens up his runs.

Im confident we can nab a win here if we manage to contain them early. If we let the cows get a few early tries and the momentum its goodnight Irene for us.

If we defend like we did yesterday we will be in trouble, Gavin cooper will have a field day

The Cowboys have been off a bit lately. This is our chance to get them, would give has the world of confidence if we can go up there and end their winning streak

Cowboys are due for a loss. Sharkies need to take it to them up the middle. Pressure thurston on every play and kick. Hit him hard and him him early we cant stand off and wait for him to come to us. Sharks by 8

I think we'll win this game but only on the theory that the Cowboys are due a loss, not that we're good enough to win.

We could win this. Discipline in defence, hold the ball and let barba sniff around the ruck etc.
so many games we lose for ourselves, not another team outplaying us. We need to limit their chances.
Pressure is on them to keep their streak going. We're underdogs and if we get beaten we will just be another casualty of the cowboys run. Hopefully we can break it and thurston can go back to being a whinging little cockhead

We might of won yesterday, but we were rubbish for a lot of the game. Particularly our defence. I just don't see us getting near them this week, Cowboys are the real deal, we are not. Cowboys by 14.

Do remember though a few instances....
2 penalty goals from gidley
Snowdens try off the back of an error which should have been pulled up
Thats 10 points they didnt score
mamos effort was freakish and our team, Robbo in particular played a big part in allowing that try
mamos first try and even scotts were just weak.

Tighten up the defence and show some urgency and it wasnt even a contest

I hope we win by a clear no try.
I'd nearly take another loss to the drags if it meant we could drop a ball over the line and be awarded the try to win the match after the siren, against the cows... Sadly when it's not a sharks game I really enjoy watching North qld play... Have a nice balance of attack and defence

How good is this bloke? Unbelievable year he's having.
I'm a fan, he's real solid and always does his job. I also like Ethan Lowe as well.

Their team has way more class than ours on paper. We'll need to bruise them in the forwards to have a chance I reckon, Taumalolo playing at lock is what should be exploited - The dude doesn't want to tackle.
