If ever a game deserved a 10:30 timeslot, it's this one. I'm still scarred by the memories of the clash between these two at the swamp last year. Worst game of League I've ever seen. I do expect Cronulla to win this one though.

 

[CMUX]

Sharks by 50 to keep the lolz coming.

 

[thommo4pm]

Should be a decent crowd of about 5-6000 people there also.

 

[Non Terminator]

51-50!

 

[user_nat]

51-50!

Hmm, Souths are more likely to kick a field goal, so I would say 49-50.

 

[Non Terminator]

Mate, I'm counting on them to kick two. Maybe at 0-all, just to get the game rolling.

 

[Timmah]

If there's a field goal, surely it'll come from Sandow and the Sharks will go on to score two late tries to win by either 9 or 11 points?

 

[Apey]

while it's all well and good to l0l@50uff$, Sharks have been dishing up some absolute shit lately as well... hard one to tip

 

[BunniesMan]

Sharks have been even shitter than us recently. At least we only lose to good teams. And losing a couple key blokes to injury means their backline is even worse than usual.

We'll win this easily, or our season is over.

Is there any other current game the general rugby league community cares less about ?

Souths by 12

You people will care when we win the premiership and we can pinpoint this game as the moment where our season turned around.

 

[DragonPunk]

Is there a way they can both lose?

 

[Mr Angry]

Well technically yes.

Souths could win the game say 16-10 however be found to have had 14 players on the field at some stage and lose the 2 points, therefore no winners.

Clearly Dragons fans have an interest in this game.

Pretty simple result though. Tim Smith finds some form Sharks win. Tim Smith plays like he did last year, Souths win.

 

[BunniesMan]

Tim Smith doesn't have any form to find. Sandow is far form perfect but Sandow on his bad day is Tim Smith on a good day.

With the injuries the Sharks already mediocre backline is further depleted, Inglis to run riot all over them.

 

[ceagle]

Gee if 50uffs can't beat Cronulla missing Gardener and Kelly, then extra LOL@50uffs

Your first point is on the money, unusually. And I guess Inglis has to have a good game at some point. Might be just the opposition he needs to do it.

 

[DJShaksta]

Souffs are a blight on the game and should be kicked out, again. Or relocated to Adelaide.
Just getting in before bunniesgirl or kmav...........

 

[DJShaksta]

Inglis to run riot all over them.

On his way to the Mrs.Macs pie stand.
