[This Year?]

Cronulla to seal a top 4 spot and the Roosters to have a bad night at the office. Both sets of fans will be praying for no injuries.

Panthers fans rooting for the Roosters bigtime here. Panthers Roosters and Broncos win, Panthers take 4th place after being 15th after 9 games. Another lucky Roosters win will do just fine, thanks.

 

[Valheru]

Let's see if we can end the streak here.

At the very least I don't see Cronulla running rings through our backline like last time. Manu won't be there, both Latrell and Fergo have woken up in defence and Aubo and Matterson are solid defenders.

We have already got one bit of luck with JWH, amazingly, being free to play with an early plea.

He deserved a week just for the stupidity.

Having said all that, Cronulla managed to save their one 80 minute, disciplined and mistake free performance of the season so far for us earlier in the season, it will probably happen again.

who will win in this battle for the team the storm will smoosh in the grand final which I am going to this year.

Sydney for the win.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Yay... time for our 2nd annual beat down at the hands of the Sharks.

Oh well at least it means the Panthers won't make the top 4

Yep, you guys are smokies for a top 4 berth, we also have the Knights who are well improved.

I doubt we will go into this game thinking that the Chooks are our bitches, even though they have been for a few years now. I expect them to come out on fire in the beginning and try and blow us off Shark Park. If we find form, it will be a close game still imo.

What makes you so sure it will be one of these two? Neither of them are exactly setting the world on fire.

 

[Das Gupta]

Sharks.

Chickens over the *flakes

 

[FireFalcons1]

As a Penrith diehard, I am hoping the Roosters can get up here despite their poor recent history against the Sharkies.

[chrisD]

If the Sharks are not going to lift to purple scum stopping form then they need to vacate the top 4 for the sake of rugby league.

 

[Card Shark]

We are in the process of lining up the storm.

Winning this game will be part of it.

 

[GongPanther]

This will certainly end with a late field goal,or the game will be decided in extra time.

On the toss of a coin,Pierce to get the Roosters home.

 

[TheFrog]

Interesting to see who wins the penalty count here. Both sides would rather give away a penalty than have a good feed.

 

[Barkley]

Cronulla have won the last 6 vs the Chooks, I'm tipping that to end this weekend.
