With a must win very much on the minds of all this Saturday, the Sharks can turn their season around against the Tigers and also add to their record of wins over the Tigers at Remondis. Despite having just three home wins from 11 starts against the Tiges, we will take into this game the added essence of the Women in League Round and the agony of an injured Andrew Fifita, to spur on a win.
Last season’s 36-22 home win against the Wests Tigers is still fresh and will give fans faith in knowing we can get the job done. The Sharks can make up the win/loss shortfall with a convincing victory.
It’s time to get behind our boys even more and give them the support they need.
