Round 24 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs North Queensland Cowboys, Sat 19th August @ 1300Smiles Stadium 7:30pm

Seeing today's ladder was a harsh reminder just how vital this win is.

Then again, if we do lose then I dare say the writing is on the wall that we don't have what it takes to go back to back and maybe we're spared from the death of a thousand cuts.

Agree, we have had luck with other results, if we cant maximize this chance, then writings on the wall and don't deserve 4th.

2013.. or about 4 major sponsors ago.

How funny that the Fox commentary hasn't mentioned the 7 tackle try once, while the Channel 9 commentary at the time mentioned it every 5 seconds (I seem to remember a rolling "breaking news" ticker for the second half as well?)

Yeah they had something like that. Not like those muppets to dramatise something.

SO if Brailey is fit do you start him or bring him off the bench ?

Start.

Shorten his stint if necessary.

 

[Sharkyle]

Start.

Shorten his stint if necessary.

Yeah I agree

Why we should win:

Cowboys have lots of injuries

Why we can't win:

It's Jimmy's 200th
Ricky's 100th
It's on ch9 FTA
We will probably wear our black jersey
It's the 2017 late season Sharks

8 days of meetings licking our wounds and endless media telling everyone who will listen that it's been a wake up call our ordinary form of late 4 losses in 7 games. We have blown out to $13 to win back 2 back. Lose this and I can't see how we get back into the top 4.. it's game day please will the real sharks turn up.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Just would love a win so we can sit back and just watch rest of the footy, just checked next weeks draw finally a Thursday night game eels v broncos with some real meat on it...

 

[gando2230]

I believe

 

[Sharkyle]

I feel like we will either win all 3 finish third and have a real crack OR lose all three finish 8th and get knocked out round 1. Can't tell which is more likely. I guess tonight we will know
