STATE OF THE UNION

[bluefox68]

After watching most of the games in Magic Round…
Do we have any standouts?

Methinks not…

Storm were beatable (and beaten)…
Panthers big improvers but still beatable.
Raiders good but I reckon they’re at their peak.
Bulldogs are good but a tad over-hyped. LOL
Bronx inconsistent.

I reckon we might be more of a chance than some (here) might think.

Ultimately it’s up to us. Cliche but we beat ourselves when we lose

Quietly building?
Get through to the first bye then put the foot down.
They are still a long way off, which isn’t a bad thing.
Too many cliques?

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Most open comp in a long time. In it up to our eyeballs.

Proves if you put your trust in Fitzy the World's your oyster.
Just cut the mistakes, don't try & score off every pass and giving away penalties whilst your'e in possession .
Just remember I can't wait another 50 years for the big one.

 

[Since 73]

Law of science I imagine would be if you dilute something you make it weaker.

But then science was never my thing.

More teams make everyone weaker.

Perth and PNG in a couple of years. The premiers in the coming years wouldn't have made top four 15 years ago.

2 losses. Canberra.
Us beaten in last minute.
Tigers. Marquee man hits the post and the keystone cops all run sideways in the ensuing fg setups.

2 games which shouldve been easily closed out. All but won in the first 79 minutes.

4 points.

2nd spot.

In reality we should win it.

Storms pack not what it once was. Is Nelson retired? Jerome has been found out. His show and go - if you let him get away that you are dumb dumb and dumber.

Dogs. A fallacy. A team of spare parts that win by intimidation. Broncs showed meet them with a but of knuckle and they're heartless. JC and Sifa and AFB and Iro. 4 guys there who won't be pushed around. The rest of us were last time.

Penrith. The great unknown. We have gone so ferkin close the last 2 encounters. On top but cannot close it out. This game is a mental warfare. If we beat them once we break the hoodoo. Jimmy M talks about it with storm in 2016. We KNEW we could beat Melbourne in the big one. They actually wanted to play Melbourne.

Raiders. Gonna say we have the wood on them when we need to.

Our next game against Penrith is huge. If they beat us it will stay in the heads of our weaker players like the bloke with 7 on his back and in the one that count in September they won't believe.

 

[Ozzi_78]

We dont play Penrith again unless it’s in semis.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

It’s very much an open comp but it’s only up to us what we do with it. If Penrith get into the 8 they will be very hard to beat but I think Melbourne are the favourites.

Agree Bluefox,

If our pack can get its shyte together and our halves take control of games (and finish them off) we are in this Premiership for sure. Hopefully the injuries can be kept to a minimum. Long way to go for everyone,

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Canberra will make the GF.

Canberra will make the GF.

Not convinced…

But I would LOVE to see a Sharks / Raiders GF - JUST FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!!
