[shaggs]

Awesome guys. Thanks for the info.

Awesome guys. Thanks for the info.

Tip: The further away you park,the much-much easier it is to get out of the place. Don't be tempted into parking as close to the ground as possible. It's a coont to get out of if its a packed house.

 

[Caged Panther]

Really?

I park in the showground all the time and it never takes that long to get out and you really can't park much closer.

 

[soc123_au]

Parking on Rodley Ave is the go.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Doesn't matter where you park just get there.

Two great teams wanting to win, long weekend, sun shining, cold beer.

Just get there.

 

[Blues Riff]

Sharkie fans will avoid the congestion anyway, when they leave after 50 minutes.

Don't give away the best spot!

Griffin has confirmed Cartwright will not play but Peachey will.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Updated team list sees Akauola drop off. Please don't tell me Hiku takes his spot.

If you live or are heading away South (including back to the M4) I reckon McNaughton Street is even better.

Certainly we will not be going to Pepper Stadium with any confidence to come away with the two points.

The Sharks have been somewhat of a bogey side for us in recent years, not Storm bogey but certainly we haven't had our fair share of wins against.

I fear this one will be no different.

Coming off a win against the Storm in Melbourne is impressive form. Sharks were able to get into the arm wrestle and come out on top. We huffed and puffed against the Storm and despite bombing a few tries you always knew what the final outcome would be.

Despite only being Round 7 this is a must win (I know they all are) but if we go 2 -5 are season is not looking too good and making the eight from such a position will be an achievement never mind the top four which is largely looking unlikely already even at this early stage.

We are capable of putting on a good performance and winning this game but my head is telling me the Sharks will find a way to come away with the two points. I hope I am wrong.

Kikau playing reserve grade again

Griffin can go f**k himself. Hiku keeps his spot on the bench and Kikau, Akauolo and CHN are all dropped. I knew that would happen... but hoped he finally had some sense.

Our coach is a moron. Lets drop genuine quality impact players and run a shitty centre on the bench instead. Hiku is yet to have an actual good game for us (he has had decent games, but not a standout game) and somehow reputation alone insures he gets picked.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

There are literally only two people in the world that think Griffin is a top coach; unfortunately one of them is our General Manager. The other, I presume, is Griffin himself.

 

[mxlegend99]

I just noticed Tim Browne is also in the team... deadset. If it werent for injury we would have never had a good team under Griffin.

Tim Browne and Peta Hiku on our bench ahead of Corey Harawira-Naera who has been terrific, Sitaleki Akauolo who actually scares defences and Villiame Kikau who has a frame that means he wins most contests.

Our season ends today. Ive already given up. Our coach is f**king clueless.

A few of our special fans in here will defend this awful call im sure

Maybe they are concerned about Peacheys fitness!
CHN may have already signed elsewhere, on form he should be on the bench at least.

CHN is also a better centre than Hiku. Griffin is approaching Elliott and Purtell levels

Theres no argument at all where Hiku is a better bench option than CHN.


He covers centre. He plays secomd row. He has been in terrific form. Hiku is picked for what we pay him and nothing else.

He's not in the top 3 centres, wingers or fullbacks at the club. Hes not a second rower. He is picked because we were stupid enough to pay big money to sign a 'rep player' in a position we didn't need. Sadly we paid for a rep player and have received a dud.

Even if we won... this is nowhere near the best 17 we have available and we are making it harder on ourselves by picking average players pike Browne and Hiku when we have better options available.

I hoped Hiku dropped himself down the pecking order by disobeying team orders. Nope. Coach still loves him.
