Crowd wise

Not to be negative but I've got a bad feeling about this game... I just think we will struggle to score points with Elliott/Garrick at FB.

Sharkies have so many strike players especially with Graham and Xerri combo on the left

No T Rex. We’re 1-17 tonight. No changes.

We are 1-17, no T Rex

I’m happy about that , pleased to see the young guys get a go instead.

Feeling nervous about this one.
Just hoping for a Manly performance.
If we go down let's go down fighting.

Last time I criticised a player he got 5 wickets for Australia

Yep, if we get beaten I’ll understand that but as long as we are trying until the 80th minute.

If it’s 28-0 after 30 minutes I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it all the way through.

Such a pity, at full strength we’d potentially be appearing in the big one , to be decimated so close to the finals is just bloody cruel.

But no runs!

He’s still a myth.

No T-Rex??? This shows the creativity behind Des, even T-Rex himself thought he was playing today. This was no late decision, or co-incidence, this I believe, was purely so our young guns were not under media pressure all week. This is why I love the way Des coaches. Best of luck to our almighty eagles tonight

Lots of Sharks Fans in Manly gear - can't see the 45% mob yet

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Watching some of the game again last night, something I enjoy doing is looking at the reaction of players in the background as we score, all teams celebrate, but there is something about our mob at the moment that shows a real togetherness in how they come charging in celebrating

Number 1 in this area is often Dylan Walker and big Suli comes flying in too with a real look of enjoyment on his face​
