85 – Loosehead, Don’t worry John is there we will 😀
89 – Blue Bird, I am relaxed and ready for this game. We lose we lose, nothing will happen we win we got to 9th. But we will help out our other teams.
So hope we do win.
Sharks are looking good early on
Hi Blue Bird, you said this morning that you had a message for me.
Quade Cooper scores under the posts
Poor defence.
Try Cooper, our defence was rubbish.
Genia is goed, maar Sharks het ook nie te goed verdedig daar nie.
Reds 7 / 3
Jisjis all RT’s!
Go Sharkies, do it for SA, we cannot suffer another loss….faark, Cooper under the posts, eish!

107: Cambridge !
Yey…Even as a Bulls fan I can see the attraction of Ruan!! Mmmmm, 😉
Question for our Sharks supporters: has Alberts been worth the time money and effort spent on him? He is keeping Deysel out the team.
Sharks 9 / 7
Nice one Ruan keep those going over.
Blue Bird, how is Percy mean’t to feel?
