[Sir Chadley]

Chadley its just some rank song popular in norway and appeals to the types of people that would join cults.

Sharks by 908

Mate, it's a very moving song and one I am very familiar with. I've done the show that it comes from twice (Carousel) and have always enjoyed it.

I was joking and i support everton mate so I'll leave it at that.

Back to the sharks and it is weirdly strange having people in the media giving us a real shot at the title, even in 08 when we were joint top i can't recall too many people giving us much of a chance and they were ultimately right.

So what's different now for them to all rate us ?

Good question, Rick. I'll give it some thought.

I knew you were I was joking with you too. Musn't have our sarcasm meters on.

We lacked go-forward last week. The Warriors pack walked over us in the first half. Hopefully we improve this weekend, or else Scott, Tamou, Hannant and co will do the same.

[sharks2010]

As expected

 

[Bundy Shark]

The good old copy, cut & paste, seriously, I would pick the same anyway.

 

[evertonshark]

Is james tamou gonna be suspended for this game ?

 

[sharkyboy]

Hannant ain't good but his work rate his high.

We get through Scott and tamou and wait till that 25th-30th minute when Lolo goes off and we will be able to out muscle them.

That's when I'd be injecting barba as well

Please don't say "injecting". Telegraph will see it and have a field day!!

 

[CHOGM]

I wasn't impressed with Arona last week. He did fine but nothing to write home about. I reckon Roqica has to be given crack, if not just for the extra size he adds.

 

[Gards]

Worst time slot

I think it's ok, I get to start on the turps early and some more families might get down that would have been turned off by a late timeslot

I wonder if the whole "get a loss out of the way before the finals" is something only fans say or the players actually buy into it too and feel more pressure

It's just an excuse for a loss when a team is riding a wave of form. We cannot afford to slacken off now and should be aiming to win every single game into October. If we drop a game, if might get followed by a loss the next week and the heads might drop. We can still learn from our mistakes and evolve the team while we are winning, we don't need to be relying on a 'wake up call' or the like

We have had some seriously terrible runs into final series before after coming off good form and I don't want to see that repeated ever

I wasn't impressed with Arona last week. He did fine but nothing to write home about. I reckon Roqica has to be given crack, if not just for the extra size he adds.

He's just a stop gap, Roqica has been poo in first grade in terms of bending the line but ok in defense. Needs to take a page out of Taga's recent book about having size but still firing up

Agree, straight swap, reckon we slightly improved

That's funny, I remember him bending the line but being crap in defence and making handling errors.
