[Miller was a legend]

Get the win for Frenzy Sharkies

 

[JamesRustle]

Sharks playing well at home and should be too good for the Cows.

Enjoy a winning beer at the leagues club afterwards boys.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Only the wet weather will keep this game close.

 

[This Year?]

I'm very tempted to make a deposit into my empty SB account for the greater good.
Nah, maybe next week ;-)

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

When the sharks give us a touch up the only redeeming feature will be it should be one more nail in that bald idiots coaching career coffin

 

[Fangs]

Hopefully Sharks by 40+.

Someone has to turn off the life support on the Cowboys. They are a rabble and need some personnel or staff changes in the off-season. Might as well start now.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Sharks outside backs to dominate. Pencil in doubles to Talakai and Mulitalo. Katoa for a meat pie as well as Nikorima off a short pass. Too many errors from the Cowboys at the moment although Clifford back is a plus.

Sharks by 18

[Vic Mackey]

Hard to see anything other than Cronulla comfortably, they do tend to spaz it up when you expect this though. Cronulla by 24.
