A good test for us after the last month of wins

 

[Shoe1]

Munster made a mess of their right side defence. Good tidings for foz and co to test them out.

 

[double hoops]

Its a good challenge this game. And at the perfect time to get it with a bit of form on the board.

We are definately capable of beating the Sharkies. Just got to keep improving and not slacken off.

Looking forward to seeing how DES goes about in this one.

 

[Brissie Kid]

First Sea Eagles visit to Endeavour since May 2019. Manly won 24-14.

Between the 1987 cement truck game loss and 2006, Manly lost 10 games in a row at Endeavour. The Beagles lost their two visits as well.

In 12 games at Endeavour over 2007 to 2019, Manly have won 10 and lost twice to the Sharks.

[Remy]

Litmus test for us. We weren't ready for the top teams in our first two rounds, we reset, did our flat track bullying and built a lot of confidence in the last 4 games. Now let's see if we've actually improved and learned from rounds 1 and 2. We are their bogey team so a win is possible. Pepper their right-side defence, get on top of them early, and we can come away with 2 points. Very excited for this game.

 

[Rackets]

We should be up for this game and good chance of winning. No Uele and Finucane for sharks. Contain Hynes and defend the beast Talakai we should win

A couple of big outs in the forwards for them, they'll miss Finucane's defence around the rucks big time. Des will have Lawnton primed for a bit of white line fever you would think.

 

[Rackets]

This is where our forwards should dominate and win the game up the middle. DCE & Foz should kill it.

 

[JBW]

D&D, discipline and defence. The two things that went missing from minutes 41-80 last week.

We need three forwards to crack 100 meters, Jake to stop giving away repeat sets and i reckon the backs cancel each other out.

Finuncan being out is a massive blow for them.

I think the Storm v Sharks game showed that the Sharks aren’t quite in the top tier either. Storm outclassed them in the end.

It reminded me of when we played the Storm last year. Came out strong in the first half but they eventually wore us down. Sharks are in a similar position this year. Top 6 team but probably won’t compete with the Panthers or Storm.

I've never understood why we play for the Steve Rogers cup. I would've thought that would be for Sharks vs Saints. More like the Nathan Long or Phil Bailey cup.

Jim See Cup (for the old timers)

 

[Supreme Leader]

Reckon we will be back to a wet game, heard that Harper may not play as he still has covit issues. So solves some of our backline issues. Question is where does Schuster slot in or will Des just give him some game time as a replacement player coming on when defense is tied?

Interesting take, I do slightly agree that game was similar to our regular-season game vs storm last year. Although, Cronulla were winning periods of the game and completed higher than Melbourne as well. They exposed that right side of Melbourne's defense and it seemed like a lack of maturity and patience is what let them down. I still think Cronulla will finish top 4 or at worst 5th. But anyways, it's still a big test for us because they are still near the top of the table.

 

[Eagle 1]

And NOT going to be easy

Have faith Mark, we came through well against the knights and Titans, games we could of easily have lost in the past when we haven't got Tommy. Sharks are missing Finucane and U'ele, we've towelled them up on quite a few times now, think they are more worried than us tbh.

There's also Jai Mullane, not to mention Jason Ferris as well.
