Finals

[Card Shark]

As you would know:

1 Roosters V 4 Storm
2 Broncos V 3 Cowboys

5 Bulldogs V 8 Dragons
6 Sharks V 7 Rabbitohs

This leaves us at the mercy of an out of Sydney 2nd week, if we are lucky / good enough to get there.

Just checked the draw & the winner of our game plays the loser of Broncos & Cowboys. Hell of a lot better result than going to Melbourne! I believe we can win at either of those 2 places against either of those 2 teams. We can't beat Melbourne, they are like our 2nd Manly.

Lot better!

Now we beat Souths, play losers of Broncs/Cows in QLD, win that it's likely the Roosters at Allianz, win that then likely Cowboys or Broncs in GF. Simple. I don't like our chances.

Storm may he a bogey team. But what about Major Semi's playing anyone. I am 0 from 3 already.

 

[carcharias]

Gotta beat em anyway

 

[cb4]

If we win it, having to beat 4 of those sides, we will be the most deserved premiers of all time.

I was at the 97 Grand final, the 99 pre lim, the 01 and 02 pre lim and the 08.

I was at Canberra in '12.

I missed week 1 of the finals in 13 (Cowboys win) but was at week 2 v Manly.

It is me. I'm telling you.

 

[SharkShocked]

Hope you're not going on Sunday.

We've made our bed....

Have to make do with what we have.

We might get to week 3, if we are bloody lucky. No chance of the GF now after last week.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Well, if we're going to do it we're going to have to do it the hard way.

After all we are pretty good at being underdogs.

 

[chewsta]

The loss to Manly may have been exactly what we needed to fire these merkins right up. We are pretty much Injury free and about to get back both Fifita's and Barbarino.

f**k it, someone has to win it. May as well be us!

Indeed I am not going, I will be attending another teams final though.

David wont make the team.

Andrew is under an injury cloud.

Barba is Flanno's call.

 

[ghoti]

Was gonna buy a GA ticket for this final match...but are there any members benefits to get into the Sharks supporters den? Don't wanna be nestled next to my Souths supporter mates being 'fair-minded' and 'sportsmanlike' or 'respectful' of their 'feelings'

I was at 99,02,08

Missed Canberra. was overseas. which was great.

Saw them win in 96 (Brisbane) and 01 (Dawgs)

I would also say, I am bad luck.

I am staying away

 

[chewsta]

David wont make the team.

I thought David played well when given the chance.

In saying that though Prior, Heino and Taga have been in good form and Prior has become a bit of a hitman out there in defence. So I can see how he would miss out.

 

[ghoti]

Prior Heighno taga bukuya and Tupou have all been great, can't see D Fif making it in over any of them unless one is carrying an injury...

Toops has been a weapon! why we don't have holmes and Gordon following him everytime he gets the ball has got me fugged, he has the best offload in the team, ALWAYS bends the line and pokes through the other side with 3 or 4 blokes on him looking for a support player to offload to.

 

[Frenzy.]

We have to win 4 games to take the prize right? I'd rather have the hardest run possible than to have perceived preferences because we all know the Sharks loser easier, expected to win games. This team wears the underdog hat far better than the favourites hat

This is what worries me about the Souths game...reminds me a lot of the 'unlosable' Penrith game earlier in the year when they were torn apart by injury. Especially after the hit to the confidence in almost losing to Parra and being totally ineffective on the line all game against Manly... it's concerning the shit outta me.

If we get past Souths and then have the impossible tasks of a Brisbane home game and whatever comes after that, then I'm feelin jazzy

Yeh, the more players Souths lose & the easier we take it.

Don't have a killer instinct, like the Dogs for instance.

 

[bubs]

Roosters to beat the Drizzle on Friday.
That way we avoid the Drizzle in Melbourne.
