[kia ora storm]

Sharks by 8...

Cows by 26

 

[Charlie124]

Making the treck north for this one so hopefully the boys can continue the run. Murphys law might come in to play here but I thought we'd lose against the Sea Eagles, then the Eels and then had no doubt we were gonna get dusted by the Raiders but all three games i was pleasantly surprised. This game though, i just cant see us losing.

Cows by 18

JT having a break.

I trust coach Green but I don't like our chances now.

f**k.

Perfect timing. Coach Green owes me a bundy at the leagues club after this one.

 

[Miller was a legend]

We got this

 

[Card Shark]

f**k.

He does.

Perhaps a Sharks supporter will buy you 1 or 10 if we win due to Thurston's absence.

 

[Allo]

Cowboys still to win without Thurston, but I don't like our chances next week.

Cowboys 18
Sharks 10

 

[txta2]

Obviously Cows supporters haven't taken history into account.
BUT leaving JT out, mind games, well played Paul.
Cowboys by 2

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Here is Morgans chance to prove what he's really made of.

Cows by 2 but wouldn't be surprised to see Sharks win

 

[Shorty]

Woooow we are resting JT.
Mind games much!
Even if it's a smokescreen the initiative is refreshing.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Wouldn't be surprised if JT is on the bench .
Only get used if things are looking bad by the 60th min .

 

[Charlie124]

I'd be very surprised to see that. We aren't struggling, and no offence to the Sharks but we should be able to compete and hopefully get a home win even without JT. We're otherwise full strength and even if we don't win it's not the end of the world anyway. If we can beat the Tigers away from home without JT, Morgs, Scott and Tamou and beat the Raiders away from home without Morgs then I'm still confident we can get the Sharks at home.

Might be a different story if we were sitting on the edge of the 8 in a cluster with 5 other teams.

 

[beave]

I still reckon he will play.

I can feel it in my bones.

 

[Charlie124]

I hope you're right just for my own selfish reasons but I don't see why we'd bother with the mind games. Especially for a game that isn't pivotal to our season.

Next week is a definite loss for us,we will get pumped by 50 .
St G full strength v us won't be pretty .
Plus the Sharks more often than not ,no matter what form they are in give us a close game .
I would feel better seeing JT sitting on the bench this week .
