Sharks get a leg up for Round 1 & 2

[Dragon Slayer]

Looks like the first two sides we play will be without a bit of key fire power. Pat Richards a tall quick winger who was signed by the Tigers this season is out for two months with a broken leg and Matt Utai is out for 3 weeks minimum with suspension from the Bulldogs.

Both would of been dangerous players against our lighter wingers in the first two rounds and I think it's a tremendous boost for our chances in both games!

 

[King of the Hill]

That's if the Bulldogs participate in the NRL this year!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Sharkie73]

There only going to be without Utai at this stage might be another 6 missing yet #-o #-o :roll:

 

[Booyah]

That's a pity, I would have liked to have flogged full-strength sides. Oh well.

 

[Macca]

This saga won't be over before we play them, it could take up to 8 weeks to prove or disprove any or all of this. I don't know if those players involved will be temporarily suspended while the investigation takes place or if they will be allowed to play. I hope we play their strongest side though.

After the season you had last year,you should be grateful other teams are feeling the heat for off-field dramas ;-)

I don't know if those players involved will be temporarily suspended while the investigation takes place or if they will be allowed to play.

If they're charged, they should be suspended by the club. Regardless of who they play for

I would never be greatful for this garbage.

I bet they get out of it. Like it will be "how sorry they are for driking to much" and "they will be seeking counselling from some religious person" or Alan Jones will be helping the players find themseleves, or "a troubled home life". Any thing but admitting to any offence and facing like a man.

If the opposition is weakened then it should be easier for us. But that is not always the case as sometimes an underdog can lift or a favourite can get `cocky'.
I heard Tigers just signed Jason Moodie. Probably to replace Richards.

 

[Alan Shore]

You can only beat who's put in front of you. To be quite frank I don't care how we win (unless it's something extremely stupid, eg: going AFL style and trying to eat somebody's crown jewels)

Are your guys playing any more trials before round 1??

 

[Booyah]

Yep. Not an NRL trial though. We play Port Macquarie this week.

Cheers Booyah!
