Welp, suddenly much prouder of our boys for beating this mob last week. The Cows have been relentless

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion
Despite the closeness of the scorelines, I think most of the games have been surprisingly poor quality, tbh. The Roosters-Storm game you mentioned had a lot of drop ball, poor kicks etc. I shake my head at how Cronk got man of the match. His radar was way off - probably the worst game I've seen him play but they got home.

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion
Where we were (middle tier, beside the screen) I thought there was heaps of noise for the Broncos. What I did notice though was what seats were empty - the bloody corporate boxes. I know it makes the club lots of money but I hate the thought of people holding those boxes just to grease up customers, but not actually giving a shit about the Broncos. Could be Stadium members as opposed to Broncos ones though...

Cowboys all over them. Can't imagine the Sharks will replicate their comeback from earlier in the season.
Got to say, I'm a little surprised the Sharks haven't even been competitive thus far. They've been pretty effective at drawing teams into their kind of fight all year. Poor completion and a red hot start from NQ has pretty much sealed their fate.
Not to count the proverbial chickens, but I'll be interested to see how NQ handle the Storm next week. Think they'll find it tough to impose their will against Melbourne's suffocating style.

Smith is still boycotting 9 so he was never in the discussion, if he was there is no doubt in the world he would've got it.

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion
Sharks have a chance if Cowboys have their usual fade out. They have a knack for starting the second half slow.
A near perfect performance is needed, though. They need to control the tempo and make Cowboys play their style

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion
Sharks will miss Gallen's work rate but you have to wonder if they may be more adventurous in attack without him.
Irrespective, I don't see them troubling NQ too much, but I'd like to see the Sharks at least mount some kind of challenge.
