Sharks by 8..

[Frailty]

Sharks 1-12 (Would love 13+ obviously though)

[Juju]

Sharks definitely start favorites you have to say. Depending on how Gallen and Carney pull up (obviously).
Very very important game for the Warriors.

Part of me think the Warriors should of stayed in Sydney this week too

[matrightyeh]

sharks at home should be to good

[ozbash]

Warriors

[snoozer]

nfi.

sharks maybe cause it's at home.

[runatme]

man that warriors is a bunch of mean units

hopefully sharks by 8

[Manu Vatuvei]

Warriors should win and probably will. Right time of year and right game for us to get on our usual run.

[McLovin]

Warriors are a rubbish team. Sharks easily...probs 20+

[coolumsharkie]

I cannot believe they went home on such a short turn around.

Sharks by plenty.

[hitman82]

One of two results:

-Brown at hooker for 80 minutes proves our undoing as we limp to a 20 - 12 loss.

-Luck back in the team returns our defense to 2011 standards and a 30 - 10 victory.

[Fast Eddie]

People are making predictions as if the Sharks are still a good side.

[Evil_Mush]

I cannot believe they went home on such a short turn around.

I think they prefer spending a few hours in a plane each way to be in their comfort zone (beds/families/familiar training facilities), over spending a few days in hotels and unfamiliar grounds etc.
Not to mention the last time they stayed in Australia between games they got beaten pretty comprehensively (Roosters & Canberra earlier this year).


I reckon Warriors in a close one, not gonna be easy, regardless of how Carney/Gallen come out of Origin...

Kevin Locke being back has already given us that extra spark in defense and offensive options, Michael Luck in his first game since the GF hopefully adds that much needed starch to reduce the too-common defensive lapses we've seen in most of our games this year.

Plus Manu to get another double to get to 99 career tries & cue up his 100th for the next home game!!

[to_ddeath]

Warriors didn't convince me one bit on Monday night & should have put Penrif away earlier.
Sharks by 4 here.
