Game Day vs Stickys Green

[Stake Removed]

Time for the boys to click into high gear tonight, might see SJ return

Morning, Stakey!

Go, SHARKIES!!!!!!!

 

[Card Shark]

Not sure what to make of our chances tonight except to say if we win, it’ll be a great victory, as I really rate the Raiders this year.

 

[Marchad]

Important game for us tonight. Could see us in outright 4th place if we win and Newcastle lose.

 

[Mr Angry]

I still have man love for Rick.

Us only because they miss their hooker.

Be different in the finals. Still us but closer

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Big game lads. Need a big game from everyone.

How’s Feki going to f**k up tonight

 

[Card Shark]

Well fortunately it won’t be too cold for him.

It’s predicted to only get down to 9 degrees overnight there.

We have been blessed!!

Wade makes people look good. 2 tries.

Was in Canberra last week and it was unseasonably warm, good time to play there. Raiders are such a good side, been enjoying watching them and would love for stars to align for this to be a grand final preview.

Huge game! I worry about Blake Brailey starting and seemingly being depended on for 80 mins...15 mins a game doesn't get you much match fitness. Is back up plan for SJ to return and KF to bench to cover hooker? We have no out and out third string hooker and Blake has been underwhelming imo which is worrying.

We're a good chance but I reckon we'll miss Jayden's control of the game, defensively especially, he does a great job of slowing the ruck in the middle which we really need against the Raiders

 

[carinashark]

Agree but also. Blake is not the biggest player to stop a forward Close in. Like what Bellamy did to Jayden last season. I’m not sure how you defend against that.

 

[Mr Angry]

Capewell to wear his cape, goes to dummy half.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Hang on let me try to understand what’s going on in here...

We are supposedly comfortable to lose B1 to keep B2 because he is the better player and the next Cam Smith (ha yeah right), anyway I digress. So why are we concerned that with B1 out B2 has to step up?

If he is supposed to be better, we will see it right?

 

[Card Shark]

He’s supposed to be better but he certainly isn’t better yet!

I was thinking they might give Johnson 1 more week to avoid the freezing cold on his hammy but now I think they’ll play him off the bench & Flanno will cover at Hooker.

Interesting to see what JM actually decides but I have faith in B2, he'll be fine.

 

[Card Shark]

I’m a bit worried about Flanno.

He’s had a lot of negative focus on him this week & it might effect him.

Time for Johnson!

 

[spirit of league]

Green AND sticky. 100% mucous

 

[Card Shark]

8 o’clock yet!

 

[Mr Angry]

Bash, we bash.

8 o’clock yet!

He's played 50+ a couple times. Be interesting to see what minutes are asked of him, how he plays (will have to conserve energy more than usual) and what we do about spelling him because I doubt the plan is to have him push out 80.
