Sharks to beat a weakened Raiders in a close game.

 

[Pete Cash]

He didnt king hit feki they had a bit of a punch up and they both had a sit down. He wasnt even charged with striking you plonker.

That said if jack did king hit feki im sure he would have fifitas support.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

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.

King hit......LOL

 

[GongPanther]

The Sharks are fish-meal.I can't see them getting close.They'll probably score the odd extra try or two when it's very late in the game.But by then,the Raiders would have built a 30 point lead.

 

[Rabbits20]

Well with Cecchin refing the Sharks will be happy.

 

[dogz08]

did cecchin knock you back one night?

 

[Surely]

I'll have to put 1k on the raiders might ease the disappointment.

 

[Rhyno]

Raiders by 1

 

[JamesRustle]

Don't mind either way.. just hope the game lives up to my expectations.

I am expecting a cracker jack game with 50-60 points scored and in the balance until the last 10 minutes.

 

[Pete Cash]

Looking at the sides its a good match up. I reckon we are better in the backline, they have a better spine and they have a lot more experience

It really comes down to the forwards. If they can build a platform then we will struggle to contain them. They were punching holes all over the shop against the storm but the storm scramble absurdly well.

Also the experience factor could be a big deal. We played like a busted arse for the first 5 to 10 minutes against the tigers but so did the tigers. If we let the occasion get to us cronulla could be up by 18 in a blink of an eye.,

Vaughan needs to come in for Priest. Priest is a goer but Vaughan is better.

 

[Pete Cash]

I agree

I think stuart believes that priest is good in the ruck so I wouldn't be shocked if he picks priest but that sharks side has some size about it and we should go with our best props.,

 

[carcharias]

Raiders should win easily.

but will they?

footballs have a knack of bouncing the wrong way.

Nice weather all week in Canberra, fine and sunny around 19 – 20 degrees. Then bam! Have some good ol’ f*ck you weather on Saturday. Top of 14 (probably 10 or less most of the game) and scattered showers

 

[TheFrog]

How many of those tries were scored after we hit 40?

None of them actually, but 3 in the last 11 minutes against deadbeat sides isn't normally associated with premiership winners. Doesn't stop me tipping them to win this though. They have too many points in them and I would like to see the two 50th year clubs meet in a final for the first time ever in week 2. So do us a favour and knock them about a bit, OK.

It’s pretty obvious that we simply took the foot off the pedal after we struck 40. I’m really not concerned about that, especially considering we didn’t let a better team do the same last week.

 

[Pete Cash]

Yeah but have you thought about what this means. .. .....for Penrith.

 

[carcharias]

ah yes I remember when my team won 15 in a row and couldn't imagine them losing.
next minute ... 1 from 6.

I like your open-ended approach to football.
