A win in this game is massive.

Win = we play either roosters, dogs or sea eagles.

Lose = play either cows/knights and then panthers

Just win. Win. God damn. Win.

In carry over from that other thread,
remember when there was a whole lot of negative about Ramien?
Not much of it anymore.
He's been a killer this year.
So is he available for next Finals ? Dont need him for this one But definitely need him later ON! Sifa will Soften up the Stroms centres for him !

Wow big difference between the stats to Hughes & Hynes since Hynes arrived at Sharks. Hughes game has really improved, prob dally M this year & Hynes, well, hes not really a starting player is he? Good on him for extracting a $1 million per year for 7 years though! Good money if you can get it!
Hughes running metres 8729 (actually 7829) Hynes 4117
Hughes LB's 69 Hynes 14
Did you get these stats from blacktip-reefy?

Using a different source than a graphic from NRL 360, nrl.com, Nicho is actually ahead. "since Hynes arrived at Sharks" stats from this different source looks very different.

If he is out Vea'ila should come in he is a centre yes would be his debut, but not unusual to make debut in finals.
Cowboys through a kid in he went ok before
Ponga I don't want to make comparisons and say Vea'ila will be better then Ponga

Apparently weather in Melbourne is shyte today.

Drizzly rain.

No wonder they called the Rugba League team down there the Storm.

Kicking game and handling will be key.

It’s imperative we score first.

Storm are great front runners.

Talakai next to Hynes is a worry.
Munster will target them all afternoon
Any of the options would be a defensive worry.

Talakai's lateral movement is dubious
Vea'ila the rookie would be risky
Atkinson had his worst defensive game at centre 2 weeks ago missing 5 tackles from 14 attempts

So, you just gotta go with Talakai as he has far more upside in attack out of the backfield. DA on the bench might be able to open the game up later.

We can even that up by attacking their right side where Meaney and Warbrick are. That's the Storms weaker side where 43% of tries conceded are scored by oppositions. Meaney also gets dropsy and Warbrick makes dodgy decisions and can also have dropsy. If Sharks kickers could bomb as well as other bombers an aerial attack to Meaney could be the way to go.

Key will be the simple stuff, don't turn over the ball coming out of our end and give them easy opportunity to get at the edges.

If they hold the ball and do all the basics right - they will be right in it. Sounds basic - but so many weeks we beat ourselves.

Needs to end now if they want a chance of being respected.

Would be really good if we can keep the ball in play for long periods as we have been doing. As the Panthers do. The Storm. Fatigue is such a BIG factor in the new bullshit NRL. The Sharks have been good at playing fatigue inducing footy for the last month. Except when the Warriors did it to us. I don't know if the Sharks are 100% healthy but they are very aerobically fit and have the ability to fatigue any team

1. Discipline.
2. Ruck interpretation from the Referee.
3. Second Phase Play - They struggle against it.
4. No individual unforced errors.
5. When we are on top we must score points - no value being dominant for 20 minutes and lead 2-0.
