LATE MAIL

Assuming Gold Coast are without fullback William Zillman, suspended for four matches but awaiting word on leave to appeal, replacement Preston Campbell is also battling to play in the game against Cronulla because of ankle and knee problems. Brenton Bowen trained at fullback yesterday, with Mat Rogers expected to play at five-eighth and Esi Tonga in the centres.
Cronulla are expected to be ''1-17'' after Paul Gallen (groin) trained yesterday. Misi Taulapapa and Bryan Norrie also trained but are not expected to join the line-up.

Titans should let Presto properly recover from his injuries and be ready for the finals.

Should really be able to handle the sharks without him. Also gives someone else game time which could be usefull down the track.

Carn Sharks...win this and the Roosters get the spoonzor lulz....

 

[McLovin]

King Gal ... easily the form player of the comp....

 

[Jason Maher]

Trust the Titans to underwhelm...

When did they change the rule back to having to touch the ball with your foot in the play-the-ball? Considering that it actually happens only about 20% of the time, the Sharks would be feeling pretty hard done by I imagine.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

When a referee asks a video ref what to look, they shouldnt look for anything else. Obstruction my arse.

Where's the f**kin rule book?

 

[Apey]

lol video ref.

 

[McLovin]

Sharks can call it a pretty good day if we can keep the Titans score below 40...

 

[Carnifex]

unlikely.

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Sharks have been good over the last 10 minutes. A try to the sharks would be interesting.

 

[Dragon]

Nice obstruction there to the Titans.... yet the Sharks player is sent to the bin. Total farce. The NRL has massive problems with its officiating and we're only 2 weeks from sudden death footy.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

WTF??

Not again. :crazy:

This video referee is an absolute disgrace, two fair tries disallowed. Dont ever let this f**kwit video referee again.

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Sharks robbed of any chance of winning today by the games officials.

 

[Apey]

lol the refereeing has been woeful. :lol:

sharks not much better..

 

[PARRA_FAN]

another one. say no more. :sarcasm:

 

[Timbo]

The officiating in this game has been nothing short of embarassing.

 

[Tap Twist Snap]

Refs have lost the plot in this one. Dud call after dud call going against both teams. Lucky it is not an important match because its been a joke.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I hope these blokes arent picked in the finals.
