its all in the mind set of the boys. i have no doubt we have the defence and attack to beat them. i really think we are a big chance just beleive boys. up up Cronulla

 

[kJm]

Cooper might be back, they will be at full strength which will make it all that sweeter if we can get over the top of them, A victory will give us so much confidence leading into to the "Glory Bound Rounds"

 

[Jigsaw]

I hope we see some more of the Pominator fire up! he loves vsing the dragons and always has a good game!

 

[djhabib]

This is such a key game i really think we can win.

[Ibanez]

Can't wait to unleash Taga...

Fire up boys!

 

[A.Snowden]

Can't wait to unleash Taga...

Fire up boys!

I get goose bumps every time i watch that! How good is it!

 

[Mark^Bastard]

So much dominance. The thing I like about it most is they'd been so demoralised before hand that they ran a whole set one out like that. No one in the back line wanted a piece of it.

 

[A.Snowden]

Yep, really set the scene didn't it.

 

[Ibanez]

Could you imagine Jez and Gal running like that at you? **** that.

 

[Lumpy]

Defence will win it. I think we are getting them at the right time. With all their origin players backing up we are in this one. If we are on and are hitting hard in defence they may not be willing to take us on.

 

[Jigsaw]

That second hit by Kade just fired eveyone up so much. Hope the big guy can do it again this week if he is well enough

 

[A.Snowden]

Showed plenty of ticker there i reckon

 

[goodbyepenrithhellosharks]

what a unit too, how big does he look when he tucks into second marker in the vid

 

[Ramzyv1]

Not confident at all for this game as they are getting players back, have gotten rid of some of the origin fatigue with the bye and will not take us lightly after the win in round 2 and the current winning streak. Biggest danger game we have had for some time, if not all season.

We are in with a shot but we made a few errors last week and Gal has admitted he is doing it tough at the moment.

Our players will have to grow another leg for this one.

 

[Long Suffering Sharkie]

I've enjoyed the last 4 weeks watching the Sharks on their winning run. Their confidence is up and a natural consequence of this increased confidence is the tendency to try more things in attack.
This in turn has led to more tries and instead of our standard average two tries per game we are averaging five. Our centres and wingers are finally seeing ball thanks to the efforts of Chad Townsend who has settled in well and got those passes out quickly - Best has been given room to move at last!... and now Wade Graham is firing on all four cylinders (the heavy burden of being chief playmaker is now off his shoulders due to the Chad influence) - Not having the kicking responsibility anymore has let Wade play his natural game and I really like how he is improving each week - thankfully even the kicks he does try are looking better and better.:cheers

A word of caution however...we are not really ready to match it with the big boys yet. We will probably get a good wake-up call against the Dragons. Our four recent wins have been over the Dogs, the Bunnies, the Titans and the Raiders - All who have played quite poorly. Now is not the time to talk it up as us being the form team of the comp - we are far from it.

Hopefully if the Sharks can stick to that philosophy of one week at a time, we can win a few more games than we lose, and sneak into the final eight at the right time of the season.:hoping

 

[Nulla Boy]

This is such a key game i really think we can win.

Me tour defence will win us this game.

We are all over them in the forwards and we are finally seeing some form in the backline. I'm calling sharks by 13+
