Matt prior and Chris heighington as starting props? Has Flanagan spent his year off with Tim Sheens?!

He was in the sheds last week for Heighington 200th game.

It's a good move by Flanno. Prior has been (surprisingly) going good for us, better than his more fancied counterparts like Andrew Fifita - solid defence with good offloads on his runs. Heighington is a noted defender, so we obviously are trying to avoid the early onslaught by the Roosters.

The best part is he's put a rocket up Fifita by putting him back to the bench, coincidentally where he played most of his breakout year of 2013.

Sharks to grind out a 36-6 loss.

As long as the incumbents get into the grind then phlegmo will be pleased.

I think it will be 34-12. Score first and then a 77th minute consolation try

 

[Card Shark]

If we score first, it will be a penalty goal ;-)

 

[roughyedspud]

Wow...35year old willie manu on the bench..lol

 

[Red Bear]

Roosters to treat the Sharks like the WA govt would

 

[footy75]

Roosters will win and cement themselves on the top of the NRL ladder.

If they lose this it will be up there with the Knights last night.... no wait.

 

[ram raid]

So can get Sharks with 12 start on SB. Not really tempted.

I'm afraid for the Sharks I hope they at least put in well.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I don't mind the Sharks but kind of hope they keep losing so Flanno f*cks off out of the game.

Sharks are a massive bogie side for the Chooks. Wouldn't be surprised if this is an upset or at least a very close game.

f**k Melbourne and their lack of RL coverage. Don't know why they can't put it on GEM or something at least.
