They have a good pack and Johnson and Townsend are in better form then our halves. We need a dry track and we need dce to take control, he usually has great games against the sharks. We really need jetski and boyle to come good the team id go with...

It is a team with players that have done the job before and I believe they can do it again provided they complete

I like this team as it has a strike centre and a creative 5/8 that we missed i

Api at lock. I like it. Sharks forwards off the bench were really good. Give Api one job. Tackle everything in the middle third for 80.
 
On the plus side - against Manly the Sharks will probably be complacent.
They'll be thinking of week 2 finals, and daydreaming about a shot at unlikely premiership glory to come.
I'm sure not a single commentator will give us a chance all week.
Sure they have plenty of experienced players but that lot includes a few big-heads and has-beens.
Our biggest, possibly only advantage, may be Des vs an inexperienced head coach in John Morris.

We'll need jake at prop to help afb combat fifita and prior. He can play long minutes there as well, we need fainu on to create space and offload like he does. Api is too slow and he can fill jakes link man role plus he can ball play.. he'd be like cam murray in a way
 
For many years we have had the wood on the fishies. This weekend is just about their best chance to beat us. We are battered and bruised and severely depleted, this is the time to stand up!!
 
Its Sunday afternoon game isn't?

Will be tough, sharks have pretty good D and without Tommy and Siro, scoring could be hard but the biggest issue will be the loss of Marty, Thomo and Siro defence, they are the key to our defence structure and will be all out!!

Let’s hope it’s the Finals week 1 Des not the round 25 one!!
