We invariably win down there but this year could be the year that all changes.

We have a lot of improvement required to beat the Raiders this time.

 

[Hawkins]

Raiders. Gosh I hope the sharks arn't upset that Gus called them soft

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Should be a good game. Shame Ennis retired, that would have added a bit of spice to the contest.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Raiders and Sharks fluked there good seasons last year,these two donkey teams will struggle to even make the top 8 this season.

 

[Whino]

Raiders just.

Gotta go with Canberra. Premiership hangover is on for Cronulla.

Yep, we fluked the premiership.

Geez there's some knobs in this world.

To follow Hayne to the Gold Coast, I guess that was never in question with you.

Get one front rower back, lose two. Paulo will play but Priest got suspended and now Tapine broke his finger.

Our depth is certainly being tested early on.

 

[TheFrog]

What a pity Ennis isn't a shark any more. The crowd at Bruce really love him.

This will be a dour struggle. Maybe the Raiders, maybe not. OK the Raiders.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

Thanks to phil Gould & his motivational speeches, I'm very confident now.

 

[GongPanther]

And at the same time,teams always put in that extra effort when playing the premiers.

Even with Ennis missing,I'm sure the Cronulla jersey will be enough for the Raiders to just get the win.

Will be a cracking game though. Wonder how Canberra will back up after that narrow loss to the Cows physically and mentally?

 

[nick87]

We are seriously undermanned in the middle without Priest, Taylor and Tapine.

Not ideal against a huge pack like the sharks.
Coming off a tough game up north, in heat and extra time... and the premiers coming off a loss... seems like a perfect storm for us to lose.

Taylor and middle haven't gone in the same sentence since 2006.
