Mate I'm just glad to hear you this morning! I thought you may be in trouble with last nights rising blood pressure!!

It really is a beautiful day today isn't it!!!
Hahaha yeah mate it was a very tense day yesterday! I survived though! It certainly is, the weather in Canberra at the moment is absolutely perfect! Favourite time of year.

I was thinking PJs like last time, but I've really only got beer on my mind. Could always give Cartel a nudge after the game when we head back into the city?
Why not before AND after?

Just watched the live training broadcast on FaceBook and the boys looked very happy. Austo looking good and Wighton with a big smile on his face. BRING IT ON!

I wonder if the early nerves this week around the MRC/judiciary outcome means the boys will be more settled on game day and less prone to an nervy start...

If anything the last few days would have steeled the boys. Massive respect to Paul Gallen for dangling a carrot in front of our pack by saying outright that Ennis should have got off and Wighton should be sitting out. Public enemy number 1 - we're coming for you! wooo!!

Brewdle is putting people on so he can get to the game though, right?

I can't wait for our forwards to rip into the Sharks. Sell out Canberra Stadium. What a game this promises to be.

Need to give it to this grub on Saturday...

Anyone But Fifita: how Sharks have lost feel-good factor

Andrew Fifita has the chance to make it right. Well, the chance to make it less wrong. The white strapping on his arm has become a blank canvas. Words matter in this world. So do acronyms.

FKL? ****, man. A family is devastated and depleted. When you get your big black texta out and write on your arm guard this Saturday, you have a decision to make. You can keep stirring a despicable pot. Or you can make minor amends to the gross offence you have caused. You can write sorry, for starters, if you know how to spell it. You had the same opportunity last weekend. What did you do? You antagonised all over again. You scrawled 4MB on the canvas. 4 My Brothers? We know Loveridge is a brother.

I think its him trying to take attention away from Fafita, they're going to try the niggle, we need to just stick to our own game plan and be physical in defence.

Seems plenty of Sharks fans (particularly on LU) have been getting a bit lippy in the last week or so. I would've thought they'd be keeping their mouths shut given our last game against them and their recent form.

Really hoping we embarrass them now and bash the **** out of their team in the process.

I know we've cut down on local juniors and the money we put into them, but having only 1 in first grade, who himself was rejected by the very club 3 years earlier is a horrible, horrible look.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Not surprising to me. The sharks fans I know can ride off the coattails of a single win without batting an eyelid. They think we have overachieved and are overrated.
