Kickin Off the thread,

Burgess gone for this game as we already know.

 

[slide rule]

This is going to be a tough one.

 

[Bundy Shark]

I will be massively shocked if we get up in this game.

 

[hamsy44]

Rabbits looked impressive but to be honest the defensive structure of the roosters was not good. If there is no new crap this week I imagine we will be a lot better in attack on Monday. Should be a cracker of a match.

Not feeling good about this one.. I think mentally last week may have taken too much out of the boys but praying I am wrong..
Will be different playing away from home also.. you can imagine the **** the boys will cop from a vocal Souths crowd..
Hoping I'm wrong again..

My thoughts as well. Really hope I'm wrong but I think this could be a very lopsided game given the emoitional stress the boys have been through, and still going through.

 

[deano the p]

I don't see us getting over the line in this one tbh.

 

[Nicholas2230]

I'm going to back the boys here. Last week was a good settler. I'm saying sharkies 13+

 

[dylan the villian]

Yeah I won't throw the towel in to early on this one. Ill make my pick later in the week.
Btw where are the team lists?

 

[Lumpy]

Going to need to step up from last week. Carney will be better for the run. That is where the difference will be. Which ever set of halves steps up, they will win.

Later today.

It will be a tough match, if we can stand strong in our defense like last week and shut down GI we could win it, Carney will need to bring his best kicking boots to match the skill and accuracy of Reynolds kicking game

Speaking of that, how good is it, in the top bracket in the NRL imo.

For a player in his 2nd year he has one of the calmest heads in the game, he never looks under pressure and his kicking is pin point accurate, both his short and long kicking game are excellent

He is a bloody good half back..

Look at Souths last weekend, they scored all their points down the left side, why?? because inglis only fends with his right and prefers to run right to left. It's simple tighten up that side of the field and souths will need to resort to a different game plan.

Matty Wright in the centres concerns me but Beau is smart and lewis inside him will steady things.

People are writing us off because of the emotion of last week, i don't see that as being an issue.

My main concern is the focus of the players or where their minds are, wind back a few weeks or even further & I would say we are 50/50 to win this match but all this crap is not good for players going into matches.

I've obvioulsy never been in the same situation as our guys find themselves in but I think you might be underestimating the impact it's going to have on them. Hope I'm wrong.

Going by the article on the sharks website announcing the NSW cup u20's teams.. Gardner and Stapleton are out injured, taufua or however its spelt has a 2 week suspension.. tagatese and Townsend has not been named due too being on the nrl teams extended bench..

 

[HaroldBishop]

I believe Gardner pulled a hammy last weekend so he'll be out for a little while.
