TEAM LIST Team Vs Sharks [Round 9]

[Jedi_Tiger]

IMO we are 100 to 1 outsiders. Even at full strength it would be 50/50. Go into a match at Shark park without half your spine and KPP is a real ask. Of course not impossible but the Sharks will gives us nothing and grind and grind. Not being negative just looking at without my Tiger glasses on

our forwards are smashing teams, sharks defence isnpretty average and a half in hynes who generally melts under the pressure.
We grind them into the ground.
if Api, bula, kpp play we start $1.40
them out gives us the value.

I predict we start $1.70 favourites next week against melbourne in melbourne

Depends on which Sharks team turns up. They have flair in attack, but their defence has been quite brittle at times this season. I have no idea how Hope and Sukkar will go, I haven’t seen much of them play to comment.

All I know is we will miss Api more than anyone. I reckon he would’ve had a field day exploiting the Sharks shaky defence. Can only hope the new boys will step up and surprise us. I really hope the team takes a leaf out of the Broncos book and shows some defensive steel when down on troops.

API and Bula big outs ! That’s how !

Api is a massive loss

We need a better back up rake for when Api is out, I wonder if Harry would like to come back? 🤔 😁

Our shallowest positions are 1 and 9 if they can win 2 of the next 3 they are top 4 certs.

Yeah Flip ......we need a back up hooker .....not a rake .......we've had enough rakes in defence in the past

With Api out, we lose our focal point of attack and Jahream adds a bit of X factor in broken play. That said, Hope is generally a good defender and just need to bring the forwards on to the ball. Cronulla were awful last week in defence and the Cows rolled up their middle pretty easily but they do have attacking weapons out wide in Nikora, Talakai and Hynes. I expect they will throw some shape at Sukkar’s edge as well.
Hard game to pick. Sharks are always tough at home but I think we sneak home by 2-4 points on the back of our defence and Tavana scoring a double with his leap.
