2016 Wk 1 Qual Final - Raiders 14-16 Sharks @ GIO Stadium

[Pete Cash]

The storm are also a possibility

 

[nick87]

We'll give it to the Sharks without Wighton
They are on toast already

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yeah I'm still pretty confident. I hope Stuart resists the urge to shift Rapana back there, I think Santo did a decent job playing the "safe" fullback last time and that's all we need.

 

[Card Shark]

Surely wighton fights the charge.

Ridiculously excessive!

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Well hopefully we get some helpful advice from the judiciary like Ryan James did.

 

[THE CHAMP]

If we end up getting eliminated then im going full nrl nihilist. Growing a goatee and just wearing black turtlenecks while i ponder the meaningless nature of rugby league.

I would have bandwagoned the sharks or panthers but i will support the team that will cause the most suffering. So i will join my good friends ibm, the champ and blaza (who are very sensible posters. Ive always said so) on the broncos wagon

This is what you have done to me MRC. I am a changed man.

Welcome aboard.
Oh wait.......
No sooks allowed at the Broncos.
Might have to head over to the cowboys

 

[The_Shield]

No sooks allowed at the Broncos.

Did someone forget to tell you and the rest of the Broncos fans on here about that rule?

 

[Pete Cash]

I think he meant

No !!

Sooks allowed !!!

The Sharks will target him relentlessly with kicks, I'm not sure how good his last line of defence is but I think it would be a bad move...

IIRC the Broncos tested him out good in that regard too. I just think our strengths are our outside back combinations and it wouldn’t be a good move to break them up. That and Rapana makes me a bit nervous at the back, he’s made some absolute clangers fielding kick returns. I can see the argument for it though, Brenko Lee has played well on the wing and has more first grade experience than Santo.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Fensom to fullback.

 

[Hawkins]

Raiders to win it all.

 

[Barkley]

Match of the round IMO....I've got the Radiers....JUST.
Should be a cracking game.

All this wighton histerea has got me laughing. How anyone thinks he will get off is kidding themselves. Perfect example of a shoulder charge that the NRL wants out of the game and it is his 3rd offence in 2 years. Fair to say he needs to look at his technique. Comparing his tackle to Ennis is like comparing chalk and cheese but I do think Ennis was lucky not to get a grade one but I can live with him getting off.

Hey Tye one of those offences is touching the ref and the other was a borderline hit on a falling Soward that would have probably not been hit with a charge if he had been penalised on the field. He hasnt been pinged for three shoulder charges.

For a bloke to break someones jaw and escape charge, then drop a prowler onto someone else and break their spine and escape again is bizarre. Then Wighton cops that 3 or 4 week charge. Stupid.

 

[Shorty]

Raiders look strong af but they aren't without their liabilities.
This will test the coaching at the Sharks...Bennett, Green and Bellamy could turn around this Sharks' side but this Flannigan guy...?
I'm looking forward to this game must admit.

 

[Whino]

Raiders by 1.

Fair to say he has a discipline problem! If he didn't he wouldn't have loading. And who could forget his brain snap last year when he King hit Sharks player Feki. I think he will get what he deserves and be rubbed out for the remainder of the season.
