This will be a bit of a barometer on where we are this season. A loss to the Dogs with both teams off their game, a loss to the white hot Bunnies and two solid wins against poor teams. Sharks will be no pushover, but with Grant back I'd like to think we can stick with assuming Gallen goes back to just awesome from superhuman. Panthers in a close one.

Why does everyone of your posts cause my iPhone to minimize to the smallest font. What gifs etx do you have in your signature. It's really annoying.

We have better backs. Equal halves. Their forwards are better. Should be a dry track so if our pack stands up the backs should have too much speed. Especially if Gardner doesn't play. We should win pretty easily. Us by 12 or so.

I'd take their half(ves) and our front row, but I agree without Gardner and at home we should do it fairly comfortable. If he plays then it's touch and go but I think we'll still sneak home.

I'd take Grant and McKendry over any Sharks front rower other than Gallen. I think the backrow is the real area the Sharks have over us. Lewis is awesome but hasn't started the season as well as we would hope. Smith and Bukuya are gun, Toops is good and Graham is settling in well.

Carney/Townsend are their best halves combo & better then ours. The halves in this game imo go: Carney>Walsh>Burns>Robson. So evens out.

With Grant yes without we are too raw. In the backrow is the big difference where they are stronger. They need to go after centres for next season. The current centres can do the job so we better turn up.

due for a home win. Sharks are due for a loss. Grant should be back, Gardner looked rooted to me, Best is geniused, if the Cowboys weren't a joke they would have won.

haha well put chrisD.

This is one of the more interesting clashes of the weekend IMO.
I have enjoyed both of these sides attitudes so far this season.
Really not sure of who will win, something tells me the Sharks might make it 3 in a row on the back of a Carney masterclass. He looks like he has been building nicely so far this year. As he gets more comfortable I expect him to capitalise on the back of good go-forward by the Sharks pack.
