Might be the crescendo of the draw test but it will be another taxing week after trips down to Melb and up to Suncorp.

Fortunate for an extra days rest, will be a very difficult game, Penrith are still a very very good.

A little bit of arrogance/ill discipline crept in against the Roosters, fortunately it didn't sting us.

Will be a cracking game.
 

Frenzy.

Don't mind that when the team is winning and it's arrogance borne out of confidence. Look at the Panfa's reputation for allegedly being arrogant. When you've got it, flaunt it. Just gotta be sure you've got it and the Sharks have been guilty of not earning the right to be arrogant. This lot are different

The one thing I'll say, (I recognise that this isn't my first post in this thread)
Do not for a second disrespect this Panthers side.
No matter what turmoil that will be perceived of them.
They have been the greatest club in the NRL era, and hats off to them.
These cousins of ours know how to win, way moreso than everyone else.

I have not gone into fluff mode, and tommorrow again at work everyone will say they are going great.
My reply has been they need to improve, still not happy.
Tommorrow it will be need to tighten up defence can't conceed 30.

As a kid all I ever wanted the sharks to do was beat the dragons 11 premierships in a row that's still me dream then I will be happy

This will be the first game I am not confident in winning for a long time. We can get it done if we play at our best, but I think you guys won't let that happen. 2 weeks ago I had it chalked up as a W, now not so much. That is partly because of how we are going, but a lot to do with what you guys are doing.

Graeme Hughes on Talkin Sport still doesn’t think we can match it with the big teams in the finals despite beating the Roosters.

I’m not surprised as he has always disliked us but we’re talking sheer stupidity now.

Yeah but what does Tunkys think?
Sorry but sounds like he has been drinking some of what his callers are on. I used to love the drive home from work listening to old units half cut talking about things that happened pre 1990.
Hughes, like a lot of Dogs fan, have massive chips that the current days don’t mirror that of their glory days.
Current day level playing field just doesn’t cut it.

Have to respect all of Penrith's achievements. Supremely well drilled team with the relentlessness and adaptability to win in any situation.

Another big test for the Sharks. Keep faith with the plan and stay patient.

We're playing the Chinless Panthers, and I expect a win on current form. I highly doubt Peachey gets another run at centre but i just think, within the squad the yardstick would have been this game anyway. I really wish they were at full strength and have said so elsewhere.

I hope the cards fall that way later on.

Absolutely. They will want to test themselves against the best.

The Dragons are ancient history . Club that won 11 in a row under rules made to favour them,NO LONGER EXIST! Sharks surpassed the new Merged Dargons long ago . Their only useful Function these days is to supply the odd exceptional Player such as McInnes. Only way they can survive in Sydney is as our Feeder Club .

Well the days of celebrating inequalities --favouring the status quo, those, inpower, regardless of merit ,are long gone! I mean FMD we don't even tug Forelock to British Monarchy anymore let alone any unearned hierarchy in our own .society . do you really want to go back to days of tuggin ,the forelock to Kings and Queens ?.... Oh wait !!!??? ... Oh yeah as long as we beat them on Cricket pitch or Football field its ok to bend over before their sick, Paedophile protecting Monarch feckers.

To be fair, McGapTeeth came through Souths as a Junior, went to Dragons, and they didn’t value him as much as we did upon renewal….
