[McLovin]

Easy win for the Sharks

 

[TheFrog]

Two stern tests for the Sharks five days apart. If they get through them both they are quite a footy team. The Raiders might suffer bounce after winning by 50.

 

[Raider Azz]

Please win Raiders

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Reality check time, vs the top 2 in consecutive weeks. With a 5 day turnaround after the game they just played, sharkies are ripe for the picking. I'm quietly confident.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

nvm

They certainly look like it. They looked tired in minute 1, they would be buggered by minute 90

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Feeling another draw here for some reason

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I can't see us winning this one but I would like to see us put up a good fight. Unlike the last encounter.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Raiders by 4

 

[Rhino_NQ]

raiders have a few better outside weapons to throw at them than the tits. That kind of defensive effort is something i haven't seen from the raiders this year though. Sharks to give up an early lead but get home by 4

 

[The Marshall]

Raiders have had possibly the softest run of any team in the last 5 weeks be interesting to see how they go.

 

[Mr. Snrub]

Possibility that Maloney will be out through suspension.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

It was a bit unsavoury what Maloney did, but I'd actually prefer to see how we go against a full strength Sharks outfit.

 

[moffla]

Raiders by 2

 

[MilkShark]

Possibility that Maloney will be out through suspension.

What for?

 

[Raider Azz]

It was a bit unsavoury what Maloney did, but I'd actually prefer to see how we go against a full strength Sharks outfit.

Why? A win is a win.
I'd prefer that we won

 

[Whino]

Should be a cracker of a match.

 

[ed-grimley]

Game of the round by far - Sharks will continue their non-losing streak.

 

[Timbo]

Maloney may be out, seems as though Vaughan will remain languishing in reserve grade though.

Very excited about this game. It was only a few seasons ago we played the Sharks at Shark Park at about this stage of the season in a battle for the spoon. If we can win here, well, we're genuine contenders.
