[Tiger Shark]

Sharks never do well in Magic Round but should be a good game.
Best defence in the comp vs some very good attack.

 

[Woody90]

Roosters by 10. Sharks due a loss and seemed to put a lot into that Storm game. Roosters will need an 80 minute performance though.

 

[roboshark]

Magic round hates us so I would say rorters here

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Time to smash our Magic Round Hoodoo.

We just have to watch out for Crichton’s trips, Keary’s chicken wings, Suaalii’s knees and head highs, Dom Young’s swinging arm and the usual grubbiness from JWH and Radley.

Hope the glass is strong in Karen Robinson’s box.

lol

 

[Fangs]

Two in form teams at a neutral venue. Should be a great contest.

I think Roosters here.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

For some weird reason I get the feeling the Sharks are in for a hard crash landing at some point, and the Rorters in Magic Round is as likely time as any.

 

[roboshark]

Will be our hardest game this year

 

[MrBlack]

Shaping up as the game of the round

Looking forward to this one.

Am actually leaning towards the Sharks in a tight one

Joseph Manu is out as he was diagnosed at fulltime of the Warriors game with a grade 1 concussion. As such he has been stood down under the concussion protocol.

[Dragon Slayer]

Braden Hamlin Uele & Toby Rudolf out for the Sharks.

Nicho Hynes day to day.

Brayden Trindall named on the reserves.

Roosters $1.60 favourites.

You guys should still be strong enough to beat the Sharks.

 

[ragzouken]

they would be stinging from losing the home final, fitzy seems big on the revenge thing

 

[Fangs]

Roosters in turmoil with mass player discontent. Star players reneging etc.

Might have to change your tips fellas.

 

[txta2]

Good game

 

[Someone2]

Roosters by 8

 

[Miller was a legend]

Roosters by 8

Atta boy!

this brings me happiness

 

[Captain Apollo]

This game will be Daniel Tupou's 250th first grade game.

Should he score a try, it will be his 150th try. Currently he has scored 149 tries in first grade.

Well that confirms it get your Sharks multi’s going!!

 

[Diesel]

All the rubbish about last week being the Sharks test was wrong. Too many players out for both sides. This game is their test
