2024 NRL Round 8 - Canberra Raiders vs Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, 4.05pm Sunday 28 April @ GIO Stadium Canberra

[Western Sharkie]

Ahhh, game day.

Where we can put everything else aside and focus on smashing the Raiders

 

[Proud Shark]

I have a feeling we might top that mal menginga cup score from the other day. Sharks by plenty.

 

[Western Sharkie]

BTW, my pick is Atkinson will play 6.

Just a hunch.

 

[apezza]

If we complete and control the game like we did last week we win comfortably.

If we go back to 67% completions and get sucked into their niggle then it's a lottery.

Though Rapana is out who always seems to out niggle us which is a good thing.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Really keen to see how Atkinson goes at 6

Hopefully just keeps it simple and ease into it over the next few games and try not to over play his hand. Probably helps he knows he’s there for a few games atleast.

Curious if we move to Dykes to 6 for the Jets to get him ready too if we need him

 

[apezza]

Big test for Nicho today. A week of distractions at the club, it could be easy for some of our players to be a bit distracted.

We will see if he is indeed Origin ready. Looking forward to seeing his leadership (without overplaying his hand)

It's kinda scary to think that we only have 1 more win than a team like the Dragons who haven't even had the bye. On the other hand they have lost 4 games and us just the 1.

Let's get this done and knock the Raiders out of the 8 which would promote the Doggies up from 9th to 8th with just 3 wins to their name! hahaha

So - if Bulldogs get into the top 8, does that mean we count them as another top 8 team we have beaten this year?

I can never work it out!.

 

[Gumby]

Raiders are gonna come out firing. Not gonna be an easy game I’m feeling. Need to be on here

100%

Can’t drop
Keep going big with our game plans

 

[sharkstragic]

If they get 18-0 up this time they wont make the same mistake twice. Start well. No dumb penalties. Hold the ball. Pray

 

[The Punisher]

Rudolf injured?
Did he injure his nose partying with Trindell last week?

 

[Jeff Robson]

Up up 30 plus win coming up

 

[MMsharks]

This ain’t gonna be a walk in the park or Canberra stadium!!!

 

[MMsharks]

See you on the other side

Well maybe soon

 

[apezza]

Next TV rights - NRL must state that all games must be broadcast in 4k.

Apparently we’ve played the Raiders 82 times and the ledger reads 41-41. That’s quite remarkable
