[This Year?]

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Sharks have beaten the Dargons 11 out of the last 12 games.

Including a current win streak of 9 games in a row.

It will be 10 by the end of Thursday night.

 

[Vic Mackey]

These are always fun games. Not sure whats up with the sharks atm but theyve absolutely stunk the last 2 weeks. From memory think the Dragons generally bounce back pretty well after a spanking, but think Cronulla should be too strong at home.

 

[JamesRustle]

SFB1 v. SFB2

Dragons bounce back harder from a fiddy than Sharks do from a forty.

Should be a great atmosphere for the derby on a cold Thursday night in the cottaging marshland of Woolooware Bay on the landscaped greenery that gives the shoppers at Bay Central an expansive sense of serenity that distracts them from the leagues club with no beer.

Sharks would get more benefit with Nico on the tools finishing the fitout than pussing it up on the lawn.

I'm reliably informed that Talakai will be subbed off just after he starts to look threatening, so Dragons by a Flanagan converted try.

 

[roboshark]

Cripple fight

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

It was the best of Dargons footy.

It was the blurst of Dargons footy.

 

[This Year?]

Sometimes I wonder if Shane still has his heart in the Shire and is deliberately making the Dragons shitter since the assistant to Mary days. I imagine him just laughing after coming home from work after being paid to do it while just smirking at all the media and hate posts from Dragons fans on socials.

Sharks by 14

 

[This Year?]

Game day and so far only 2 posts from 2 Sharks fans, 5 posts from 3 Dragons fans and 2 posts from 2 neutrals.
What a rivalry and what an exciting buildup.

Judging by when he was in commentary he hates us.

And yeah the atmosphere is electric with both sets of fans

It pales compared to the days where the banter between fans was vicious, full of barbs and entertaining in the week leading up to and about a week after the game.
Reading both clubs forums is just sad. No trolling from either side. There is zero excitement even though both sides have alot to play for.

*light punch to the shoulder that wouldn't hurt a fly*

Sorry, that had probably had more feeling than the "derby".

 

[speedster]

Late Mail: Local junior Nick Tsougranis is a late inclusion and will make his NRL debut, with Corey Allan dropping out.

Was tipping the Sharks before this but now tipping the Sharks.

I'm just so deflated, my guess is others are too

I just post shit memes and shitpost to get through these days.

 

[This Year?]

Thanks fox league, we are also without Ryan Couchman, Dylan Egan, Jaydn Sua.

Also congrats to the flog Goober Gronk for cheering about Mitch Moses being injured.

 

[This Year?]

Whenever Brandy says "Dragons" it makes my skin crawl.

 

[This Year?]

Fun fact: Gutho has never scored a try against the Sharks.
