Bulldogs have named an unchanged side with Moses Mbye 19th man. Unlike last week though he has not been named to play NSW Cup so he could be a chance to play

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I've picked the Dogs just because the Sharks are still without half their salary cap.

Good choice. We rarely beat the Dogs, especially away.

 

[ek999]

The future Bulldogs great has accepted the 2 game suspension for the shoulder charge.

Bulldogs should get dis

 

[Timmah]

Siosaia Vave also out a week.

Add that to Gallen, Lewis, Ryan, Robson and possibly Heighington et al still out...

Dogs aren't fair dinkum if they can't get up in this IMO

 

[to_ddeath]

Dogs by 20.....Scumulla will struggle here.

Boom youngster Michael Lichaa, David Fifita, twin of Andrew and the Sharks five eighth from their NSW Cup premiership victory last season Penani Manumalealii, will all make their NRL debuts in the match against the Bulldogs.
The trio get their chance for a range of different reasons, with all three excited about the opportunity for the important clash later this evening.
Battling an early season injury crisis, coach Peter Sharp will be without Todd Carney missing due to ongoing issues with his hamstring, meaning Manumalealii gets the call up, while ironically David comes in for twin-brother Andrew who is unavailable due to suspension.
Manumalealii performed well throughout 2013 with the victorious Sharks NSW Cup team, has done all the right things during the summer and the early weeks of this current season and deserves his opportunity.
As for David Fifita, the younger of the two twins, albeit by just 10 minutes, he plays with an uncanny resemblance to his sibling, with the Sharks hoping for similar impact once he enters the game tonight which will likely be from the interchange bench.
But while the first two changes were somewhat forced, the third comes about after some irresistible form in trial games and in the NSW Cup last weekend from local boy Lichaa.
A junior Kangaroo and member of the NSW Under 20’s Origin team for the past two seasons, Lichaa has impeccable pedigree having played the last two or three seasons in the elite junior teams and now receives his shot at the big time later tonight.
In other changes to the Sharks side Chris Heighington returns after recovering from a calf strain, with his experience set to be invaluable alongside the young players playing their first games in the NRL.
The final make up of the Sharks side will be revealed closer to kickoff tonight.
The Bulldogs are reportedly have no changes and are as per the team announced earlier in the week.

this coming from a parra fan who just lose by 50+ points... and whose coach was the defensive coach at manly.

Both are better than the Parramatta Wazn's

 

[BunniesMan]

I see the Doggies doing a number on the Sharkies. Des will have ripped into them this week. The Sharks meanwhile are being coached by someone who hasn't coached in 11 years for a very good reason. They're missing their best players.

Dogs 24-10.

Because he hasn't wanted too, and still doesn't.

Then why was he appointed ahead of Jason Taylor...:crazy:

Perhaps because of how much we love our last coach taken from the Roosters coaching staff...

He is better than Sharp at least (heck even Griffin is lol):lol:

Maybe but Sticky still leaves a bitter taste in our mouths. Perhaps any replacement wanted long term whilr the club only wanted someone to fill in until Flanno's suspension is over.

We have no attack
