Storm play Thursday night.

Sharks play Sunday afternoon.

And we most likely play them next weekend.

That’s a huge difference in preparation time.

And we’re the ones who have to travel.

lol

From memory they give everyone a minimum 6 days so wont be Friday, but if so the Minor Premiers deserve every advantage they can get imo

On the game, I struggle to tip Manly whenever Tom doesnt play. The lure of a home final will be huge but really hes behind everything they do.

Sharks by 6.

 

[t-ba]

One Lehi Hopoate at fullback please.

 

[Valheru]

Manly don't have Turbo which is a big issue for them but Sharks historically stink at Brookvale. Cronulla may also be playing for absolutely nothing come Sunday arvo whilst manly will be playing for a home final.

Manly by 4

 

[eagles4eva]

So called experts are tipping Koula @FB, wouldn't be surprised if shyte-Bald goes that way..

A decent coach would have Hoppa @ FB

 

[This Year?]

I expect Manly to carve the Sharks like they did to the Bulldogs last week.

 

[t-ba]

Yes that is exactly what has transpired.

He's the best Hoppa of the crop.

The little f**ker is about 12 years old 70kg wringing wet and can already bend the line. As long as he doesn't get bashed up like Albert Hopoate he might be a generational talent.

Now watch these idiots not move heaven and earth to keep him.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

I expect Manly to carve the Sharks like they did to the Bulldogs last week.

Please don’t bet on it

FMD. Preparing excuses for straight set exit already.

 

[Miller was a legend]

FMD. Preparing excuses for straight set exit already.

To be fair, at least they’ll be there to exit. Unlike ummmmm

 

[Nealo 12]

If Nico nobody wasn’t named I’ve give the guppies a chance

 

[JamesRustle]

To be fair, at least they’ll be there to exit. Unlike ummmmm

Tis a shame to miss out (most likely) on having a shot at the softest comp since 2016.

Win the minor premiership next time.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Win the minor premiership next time.

Thanks for the advice Cold Wet Flog.

Well this game just got some emotional depth…

The great Sir Bradley Parker just announced his retirement

A hero of the game, his name will be remembered long and with pride!!

Also one of our best defensive centres. He should have always been in front of Koula...

Been a great clubman...

Wonder if he's been injured, he's only 27

Always gave 110% for the club, and became a cult hero of sorts… won’t be forgotten!

 

[Valheru]

Sharks playing for absolutely nothing now
