That's the spirit!
Sorry man, just being realistic, I really hope I'm wrong and I haven't completely lost faith, but yeah, logic says its going to hard for us.

That's the reality - as I said if Flanno pulls us out of this nose dive I will be mighty impressed. Raper could never manage to do it and neither could Ricky.

Actually it's not the reality until it happens. At the moment it's just a vague guess.

An educated, calculated guess based on historic outcomes
Not guaranteed to occur but more likely than not.

Circumstances are the same - business end, big games that really matter, can't get it done

Sharks will play finals footy this year.
That's my educated calculated guess! More likely than not.
I'll see you at the gf slide

So my prediction based on maths will come up soon.
Using our stats combined with our oppositions:
ours:
17.65 points per game For
18.21 Against
Warriors:
23 ppg for
21.7 ppg against
so combining the two i am predicting
Warriors 20
Sharks 19
A grind fest and our best chance of winning
Newcastle PPG for - 22 Newcastle ppg against - 19
with our stats combinded, sharks will score 18 points and newcastle 20
Not as close, my prediction will be 1 try in it
Souths 21 sharks 18.4
High scoring game, I think it will be something like 32 - 24 or around that area
Melbourne 20.7 Sharks 16.61
Low scoring, possible something like earlier in the year maybe 12 - 10 or 14 - 10 ish
NQLD 20.9 Sharks 18.45
Probably the scoreline will be around 20 - 16 ish or closeby
Our best 2 chances of winning are against Newcastle and NZ but with the short turnaround i see us mathematically winning mayeb 1 game out of 5

Logic says we should have beaten the Roosters, Dragons, Raiders and Panthers too ********.

You cannot apply logic to the Sharks. We only get ourselves up for the big matches it seems and look bored with the rest.
If the season was only 10 games long and played between April & June we would be a great chance for minor premiership most seasons.

I can see round 26 being the decider if we make the cut or not, hopefully my 100% win/attendence rate carries on!
Only game I got to see was the trial v manly haha, the cowboys game will be the 2nd for the year yay!

i think we will win this week, having gallen and carney will lift the whole team and hopefully after we win this week we can string a few wins together

If we win this week, we win 2 more out of 4. If we lose this week, we wont win again.
We've beaten NZ, Melbourne and NQ this season,
Went toe to toe against Souths in what i reckon was 1 of our best games this year even though we lost
Arguably played better than Newy in our round 2 loss, just couldnt cross the stripe.
Its in the players hands now, if they want it bad enough, they will get it.
Gallen needs to come back and play harder than he did in origin, show the Sharks fans that he cares more for his club than he does for his state.
Carney, needs to grow the **** up and stop acting like a Rookie. He's been in the game long enough, and copped alot of ****, but he needs to stop letting outside **** influence his game. When he is on, he is as good as Thurston if not better. Time to be a man
To be fair, you say that every ****ing week. I reckon you would be king of the fluffies Gosharkies. Don't be offended, it's a great honour in here.
I don't always agree with BWB (I think, you are all starting to sound the same to be honest) but I'd say this is a pretty fair post. It has more depth than Gosharkies we are going to win because we are awesome.
I liked Gal's demeanour in his interview today. He looked relaxed.
Problem with playing the Warriors away is that our guys could play at 95%+ (as well as they've played all year) and still get beat if the Warriors play at 90% because of the likes of Locke, Vatuvai, Johnson, Matulino etc. No Hurrell though thankfully and they'll miss Mannering's leadership.
Most of the other teams are similar- they've all got plenty of weapons.
I reckon if injuries are a bit kinder to us and they turn in 5 honest, well executed 80 minute performances then we'll make it comfortably. One week where they just mail it in or play busted- like the Raiders game- and we'll be in big trouble. Only need two wins.

Don't count on them playing, even if they do, being fit.
Again, another reasoned post. I expect nothing less from you AB. The Warriors are a bit weakened but have a point to prove after blowing two 18 point leads. But I guess we have a point to prove as well. If we can hold off their earlier onslaught we will be a real chance. I've watched most of their games this year and they really dip when Matulino and Packer go off. Matulino would just about be the best prop in the world at the moment IMO. He has improved out of sight this year.
Despite all my negative posts for some reason I reckon we will make the 8. Would love for it to start this week. Shame we gave up 4 points against the Raiders and Panthers.
