nothing about that game gave me any confidence in either side
@mariner4life Always hard to get a gauge on sides early on but yeah, 2 middle of the pack sides right there.
Warriors tonight v Cronulla. In a horrible turn of events, we're heavy favourites (sportsbet has us at $1.50 to the Sharks at $2.60)
No CNK at the back so we have a rookie. Metcalf gets the 6 jersey, Roger is in the centres. Capewell given an edge. Be very nice to bag 2 points against a team aiming for the same area of the ladder.
@mariner4life I always get worried when we are at short odds against another decent team. Should be a relatively even match, but at home we should have an advantage.
Both of our halves have a history if injury issues but hoping they stay fit as when on form, both looked really good last year
hoping for 2 points, but not certain

I still prefer Martin to Metcalf, he's a great ball runner but I don't think he's a better 6 than Martin. Hopefully he proves me wrong like Egan did.
As it's the Warriors I'm always pessimistic ... we were so high last year that I'm scared of a big drop.
Annoyingly first game in Sydney isn't until 6 April.
Holey hecka, this is an impressive first 13 minutes.
Warriors looking very sharp, they’re playing with such speed and continuity.
Up 12-0
Some huge defensive plays from Cronulla in that set.
Great footy all round!
DWZ taken in the air surely, this has to be a Warriors penalty.
Warriors discipline a concern, that must be the 4th or 5th defensive set in a row that we’ve given away a penalty.
Mistakes creeping in too.
Jackson Ford having a shocker, that’s his 3rd knock on of the half.
And another penalty to the Sharks.
Need the half time break to come quick…
Hoping Webster calms these fullas down, and gets them back to the game they were playing in the first 20 - fast paced, quick rucks, mistake free.
Need someone to step up and grab the momentum back for us, it’s been all Sharks for the last 25 minutes.
How’s that Sharks ball, when he’s been taken out in the tackle.
I can’t get my head around this call.
We have slept through the second half so far. Will we wake up in time before it's too late?
Ref is allowing Sharks to play fast, to be fair they are fighting to get up. Warriors being slowed down without punishment
These Sharks are fucken trying to milk penalties. Thought the ref said he wasn't going to put up with that?
This is our chance. To be frank, we haven't looked remotely like scoring since the 25rh minute
What the fuck happened? We came out of the blocks so well. The game got ugly and we couldn't muscle up. Maybe next year will be our year....
Man that’s soo disappointing.
Had plenty of ball, just could t do a an thing with it, and never looked like scoring after the 10th or so minute.
