Jeez the Raiders will win but it pisses me off with all the " oh the sharks don't deserve to make the 8" bullshit. Who does?? The teams that were worse than them

We have had 8 halves pairing this year. 8!!!! and a really bad injury toll. With a shitload of young guys thrown in it has been an ok building year.

I bet about the only decent raiders poster on here , Pete Cash doesn't think it will be a huge blowout

FFS some people are low merkins on here

For the record on the sharks it's been a tough year. The comp has been made weird because of it. Th titans the team everyone wants in the 8 over the sharks only beat 1 top 8 side themselves and that was an average knights side in the last round

If it was a proper comp the titans might have got over the top of the sharks but it wasn't and all the teams have to deal with it. It's like when we took 8th because of the dogs cheating the cap. Yeah we were rubbish but it was what it was.

Like the roosters and the Panthers didn't play at all post covid. That's crazy. All we can say is that it's been an odd year and results like the sharks sneaking in without beating a top 8 team is the result of it.

haha I just like to assume most people posting on LU in gameday threads are pissed enough they won't remember it the next day. Titans are exactly where they belong and they'll be even higher on the table next year.

This sharks spine rivals only the bulldogs.

Sharks can still get points by running Ramien and Talakai at Croker. Powerful, crash ball centres like Ramien and Staggs give Croker nightmares and take him back to the days Konrad Hurrell took his soul.

Huge danger game if Canberra have one eye on next week and trying to avoid injuries.

He's also got massive issues under the high ball doesn't he? I'd be chipping to him all day. Even Iron Chad can manage that.

But we are thousands.

Raiders decide the outcome. Sharkies will likely get pumped. If they win it'll be a game the Raiders lost probably more than a game we won if that makes sense.

As for the "Sharks don't deserve to be in the finals" discussion, well on looking just at their season I'd agree. But how shit were the other 8 that they couldn't get above a side who don't tackle? If ever we needed a top 5/6 finals its 2020.

This game will be like a bye for the raiders to freshen them up to play the panthers next week.

I don't think many teams are very good besides the Panthers, roosters (who just lost by 60) and the storm

But what are we supposed to do just be like 3 team final. Its a whole new comp now
