[Jono Russell]

This is the game. This is the one. Sharks by 20

 

[BWNB]

This is a game we should win but we manage to lose these sometimes, i hope we can get the 2 points and build on our for and against.

 

[kingdamo]

Warriors to get up on this one.

 

[runatme]

hopefully the sharks smash these nuffies

 

[wittyfan]

The corresponding game last year saw the then out of sorts Warriors beat the in-form Sharks 12-2, with Witty's famous conversion at the end.

Sharks should win comfortably at home, but if Golden Boots plays then it will be somewhat closer.

 

[McLovin]

Hope this is turns out better than the round after SOO1 for the Sharks...

 

[nzwarriors60]

Sharks should win but we get Witt, Vatuvei, Price and Tate back for this one so who knows.

 

[LeagueNut]

vs

IMO.

The Black team by 10+ :mrgreen:

 

[Inferno]

fuggen awesome, all 3 grades at Toyota again.

 

[Dr Crane]

Sharks by a lot.

 

[kia ora storm]

Sharks by 18...

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

We'll see who's laughing at the end of this one. true fans support their team, with the accpetion of WF who's allowed to cheer on his man (when he plays).

The rest of ya Warriors supporters who are going against the grain...shame on you! *joking!*

 

[McLovin]

Sharks by about 50...

Simmons to grab 3 meat pies...

 

[Inferno]

Sharks should win but we get Witt, Vatuvei, Price and Tate back for this one so who knows.

Cleary was talking about dropping a few as well. Who's likely to get the boot?

 

[Dutchy]

Sharks cant attack, Warriors cant defend.

[hitman82]

I will be amazed if Cleary drops Rovelli, but I agree Fien deserves the 7 jersey when Witt returns. He seemed to pretty much be playing 7 last weekend anyway, and our attack looked much better for it.
Must have been close to the most points we have scored all year actually. Thankfully our sh*thouse defence more than made up for it...
Anyway I expect we will beat the Sharks. Tate, Price and reportedly Vatuvei returning, will change the look of our team drastically.

Sharks cant attack, Warriors cant defend.

Bit of an enigma...

Sharks have scored 14 trys over the last 3 games. We are getting better.

 

[kingdamo]

Cleary was talking about dropping a few as well. Who's likely to get the boot?

Probably Ah Van, maybe Crockett, Kirk.. But hopefully Lauaki, Rovelli, Rapira, Wiki.. To name a few.
