[Card Shark]

We are very close to a loss but I pray we can hang on against this mob.

 

[GongPanther]

You won't have to worry against Parra.

And the rest of the league waiting for the NRL to dock those points.

 

[TheFrog]

Warren Ryan, who made a swag of Grand Finals in the 80's and won a couple of them, used to say the key to having a good year is to win the close ones. The Sharks must have been listening. They've won 6 games this year by 5 or less, and haven't lost one by that close a margin. Not that they've lost many.

This is easily the most successful team the club has had in its 50 seasons. Is it luck that they win all these close ones? Will their luck run out? Blowed if I know.

I hope they can do it. If they can maintain their form for another three and a bit months they'll deserve it. Meanwhile, I guess they'll beat Parra, who are a pretty decent side, by five or less.

They didn't stuff about docking points from the Dogs, the Warriors or the Storms.

Why are they stuffing about now?

Protocol

Apparently Todd Carney is advising the league on how to not to get caught out on a technicality.

Our '99 side was red hot too, Frog. However they didn't even make the GF, which still haunts me.

This team knows how to win, & they've given themselves every opportunity to at at least get there.

Time will tell if knowing how to win in finals is part of their repertoire.

 

[Whino]

Sharks to keep on winning.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

cant see the eels winning this one. sharks by 16

Kent on NRL 360 has stated those 12 points are definately going south this week.

Yeah that 99 stuffed up big time.

As much as I would love to see the Sharks break their drought a part of me would feel it's a bit of an injustice as I think they've had better teams who didn't win the comp. Thats not a slight on the current team, who are a bloody good team, more saying they've had some great ones in the past that couldn't get the job done.

Obviously their fans won't care and I'll be on their bandwagon come September

 

[Pennies]

Sharks.

Super coach Flanno still tricking everyone one with the Taga - Prior switcharoo just before kick off!!

Huh?

What do you mean?

 

[SharkShocked]

Every week Taga is named in the run on side, only for Prior to start.

Thats what he means.

 

[matrightyeh]

I knew you typed it in sarcastica Cardy! All good pal!

 

[SharkShocked]

Oh well, clears it up for those that don't watch our games. Seeing as they won't be getting us on FTA before the finals.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

but seriously if you had a choice between matt prior and taga how is there even a decision process?
