Ol' shit hands Dugan special gifts the Titan a try.

How is this turf going to hold up with 8 games over 4 days?

[mt.wellington]

This game will go down to the wire. Titans putting in which is good to see...

 

[Viking]

Sharks have stayed down for penalties the whole game.

 

[Viking]

Peachey and Kelly have been shit, zero composure.

 

[mt.wellington]

Bit of a brainfart by Peachey for the penalty then kicking it out...

 

[razzrillinger]

Crazy how the Sharks just keep on winning with so many players out.

5. Xerri
6. Johnson
7. Townsend
8. Fifita
9. Brailey
10. Prior

12. Graham

[razzrillinger]

Must feel good being one of those injured players when the team is still winning.

Just such a weight off your shoulders coming back in not having that expectation to turn things around.

I didn't think they had a hope this year but if they can somehow keep jagging these wins and sneak into the top 4 then they're a definite chance.

They are one of the few teams that could beat the Storm and the Roosters in a one off big game.

 

[Pozza]

Mentally and physically tough. Not a fan of the Sharks, but I dips me lid to the way they play. Wish we had what the Sharks are on ( I don't mean peptides either)

 

[Defence]

Solid line up alright- players like Williams, capewell and Flanagan missing out all together.
Btw who's Morgan? Auto correct for prior?
All these injuries could be a blessing in disguise for them- guys like nikora, uele and xerri have been given a chance and have grabbed it with both hands.

 

[Tedster]

How backward has Peachey gone, he's just rubbish this year. Can see him being released out of his contract sighting being homesick or something, Titans probably wave him goodbye happily the way he is playing.

Has had some good games and then some very bad ones. But certainly not earning that money he's supposedly on.

One of those players where he's probably best with a 14 on his back waiting for an injury to occur on the field and as a result has never locked down a starting position.

Will be interesting to see if he gets selected for NSW again.

Yeah Nikora is a real gem. Filled the big hole that Lewis left.

If the story is to be believed, it was Shaun Johnson who insisted on him getting the job.

That's something that doesn't get mentioned all that much, how much say other players have on the lineup from week to week.

You'd have to think the leadership group would have some kind of input, but I guess that would differ with each team and situation.

 

[enterthewarrior]

Jack Williams and Braden Uele provide good impact off the bench.
