Game Day v Green Machine

[Snoop Shark]

When is gal decision confirmed

When team sheets are released I'm guessing

To win we have to do a few things very well.
1. Win the physical battle through line speed and driving them back on the first few plays of get out sets.
2. Run at Hodgson to tire him out . In defence, markers have to communicate and don't take dummies.
3. Challenge their middle with speed in the last 15 mins of each half.
4. Start fast. They are good front runners but can they chase points under pressure.

Vulnerabilities for us.
1. Left edge. Leutele needs to move up, hit and stick on Leilua. Feki has to trust the inside and stay out.
2. Feki kick defence. Catch the fist bomb is important for confidence.
3. Missing tackles or poor first contact. If they get confident they will be hard to shut down.
4. Taking chances. Can't waste chances with poor execution. We will need to score at least 4 tries to win.

Bloody shame about Gallen. In these conditions he would have eaten this game up with a spoon.

 

[roboshark]

Reckon we might get em..just wish gal was there

 

[Eion]

Do we have confirmation on gal and taga?

 

[lolesi]

Hopefully our tough finals like game vs storm last week helps us in the battle against raiders who had a training run vs tigers.

Oh yes, that glass is more then half full.

I was quite confident until Gal was ruled out with a back injury.

We really needed him to help handle their big guys like Papalli, Boyd, Paulo etc..

The only way I see us having a chance of winning is ball movement. Plenty of it and especially putting guys into space.

Also our last tackle kick options when we are in striking distance need to be mixed up a bit. We seem to be gifting oppossiton possession with our pointless grubbers.

Put some bombs up boys. Create pressure and try and force the error FFS

Is he ruled out DS?

 

[McLovin]

If there was a team you don't want to lose one of your best forwards against it's the Raiders... Gonna be tough

 

[coolumsharkie]

Look I'm hopeful we'll win but not confident at all. I'm not a coward, I'll watch the game rather than wait for the result.

Hardly a coward for watching, the reverse is true.

Not sure how anyone that loves the Sharks couldn't watch....geez, we've been waiting all year for this. We are top 4 FFS.

Get excited people!!!

How about you read the f**king post properly ffs? 200 posts a day might f**king do that to you though.

As for A(usguy)rnold.. Might as well not watch the GF then?

WTF?

 

[Marchad]

No Gal no props on the bench having a back on the bench. I can see the sack flanno thread going into overdrive after tonight's game.

 

[Ads]

If Gal is really out we really need Wade to step up. Been very average this year IMO. Need more from him.

 

[Don Tweddle]

MMM saying Gal is no chance of playing

 

[Surely]

looking forward to watching his replacement bust through the raiders forwards a few times, when he goes through I hope barba or holmes is following.

have faith

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Well if I were Flanno and Gal wasn't playing I'd be dumping Beale and replacing him with Capewell.

Then again I'm not Flanno, I am me. And Flanno is a strange individual.

 

[BatteredFlake]

Not confident ,without Gal and a firing Tagatese :S But on plus side flanno would know stickies tricks,Not sure if sticky would have bothered noting a subordinates tricks as much.Also If they can unsettle some key players like hodson ,Raiders might drop their bundle as they haven't had grinding game against top side for a while? Hoping ..anyway!

 

[Generalzod]

Its official he is out just heard it on triple m, didnt he sprained his ankle the last time we played the raiders

 

[roboshark]

Fmd...cant take a trick at this time of the year

 

[SadShark]

Well, we've got the Doom all sorted.

Bring hither the Gloom.
