Two sides desperate for the competition points face off here as the
eleventh placed Sharks host the bottom of the table Magpies. After
winning their first two games of the season in fine style, the side from
Cronulla has stalled, losing their last four straight including a 36-16
loss to the Knights last weekend. A host of injuries at not only VB NSW
Cup level but also NRL level, mixed with a lack of availability of some
Storm players sees the Sharks fielding a number of promising yet very
young players at present. The Western Suburbs Magpies made a promising
start last week against the Jets, scoring early and leading for the
first quarter of the match. Despite the final score line of 56-10, there
were some positives to take away from the game for Trevor Schodel and
his troops and fans on hand at Shark Park this Friday night can expect
to see plenty of fireworks from the likes of Aaron Sweeney, Henry Iuta
and Seffa Silafu.
Talking Point: Friday Night Footy – How
good is it having Friday night football scheduled for the VB NSW Cup? We
love the concept and accept that it cannot be a regular occurrence due
to a number of issues, but would certainly love to see more of it when
possible. Grounds such as Toyota Stadium, North Sydney Oval and even say
WIN Stadium in Wollongong strike us as perfect venues for some regular
Friday night games and hopefully the residents of the Shire can vote
with their feet and get behind the concept this week.
Prediction: The Sharks should be able to get the win that they desperately need. Sharks by 18.
