[gerg]

Really looking forward to this game, as a neutral.

 

[This Year?]

Knights are riding a wave.
Sharks are waiting for a wave to catch.
This is going to be a very fun game to watch if the Sharks bring their best.

 

[footy75]

Yeah this is hard to pick. Both teams flying now and the right time.

Might go with the home team, in a close one.

 

[The Man Shake]

Reckon there will be fireworks in this one, especially between the forward packs. Knights by 6.

 

[mozza91]

Will be tougher than last week. Still think we’ll get over the line in a tight one for the Mark Taufua Shield.

 

[pantherz9103]

Knights just look too good at the moment and look more likely to threaten the top 4 sides than Cronulla.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Will be tougher than last week. Still think we’ll get over the line in a tight one for the Mark Taufua Shield.

I thought we were playing for the Cameron Ciraldo Cup?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Newy will drop one before finals and I think it'll be this one.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Will be tougher than last week. Still think we’ll get over the line in a tight one for the Mark Taufua Shield.

Well it can only be tougher considering how bad Souths played. 58% completion and 14 Errors.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Newy will drop one before finals and I think it'll be this one.

They have the Dragons after the Sharks so if they are dropping game it's probably this weekend

 

[Someone2]

Sharks by 8

 

[JamesRustle]

Sharks disrespecting Knights by resting Nicho. Sharks wont win this week or next.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

We've got a few out ourselves now as well so could go either way really

 

[Woody90]

Should still be a decent game but quite a few outs for both teams, including both halfbacks which will hurt the quality a bit.

Might go Sharks in a close one as Knights have more outs.

 

[Someguy]

Sharks not seeing top4 as a priority? 2 wins and they have a good chance of bumping the Storm

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

hopefully this is a good, close game

 

[Wb1234]

This crowd

 

[eagles4eva]

First crowd penalty from this bald dope

 

[This Year?]

Why do they always pronounce Gagai gay guy?
