^Sounding more and more like a 13 year old Sharps fan. Imagine being done for both salary cap rorting AND performance enhancing drug cheating!?? Scum of the league...

Wow what have you been smoking??!!
Your saying Penrith can’t come back? Have you watched them play this year? They’ve made a habit of comeback wins, they play much better in the 2nd half of games. They’re only down 16, they can get that back in no time

Penrith should’ve stolen that in the end. Hopefully with Smith controlling things for us next week we’re more composed in the big moments.

No Galen=no sharks. Once he went off they offered nothing, even Segeyaro didn't spark them. Woods seems to be a bit like Kasiano, big unit, big dollars but minimal impact.

We need to start strong unlike last few sharks encounters and dominate Fifita. Take him out of the equation and the go forward crumbles.

What a finish!

I feel sorry for the panthers but you only make things hard for yourself when you start slow and are chasing the game.

With Gallen doubtful, Lewis 50/50, if we can contain Fifita and Townsend, I think we'll be OK. Holmes was reasonably quiet tonight so hopefully we've taken notes on what the Panthers did.

A couple of huge injuries, especially on top of Graham going down last week. I can't stand Gallen but he's a tough mother and for him to leave the field it must be more than a 'corked shoulder' as they said. Same with Lewis, as tough as they come and still came off.

While im sure it was somewhat precautionary taking them off, there was still a game to be won/in the balance and they never came back so you'd have to think they were also somewhat serious. I've no doubt both will line up Friday night but you'd have to think they'll be far from 100%[

Maloney should hand is paychck back for the first half performance, Panthers would have been in control ecxpet for his poor plays and awful discipline.

Ah ,Sharks. So we meet again.

2016 GF still hurts so much. This is a real chance for some redemption.

How bad are the injuries to Gallen and Lewis ? Knowing those tough old buggers , they will both get up. Probably Dugan returns too.

However the return of NAS will be very significant. We have to beat them up the middle , and put pressure on Townsend and Moylan. I would much rather face those 2 than Cleary and ( especially) Moloney. Wade Graham missing is a great benefit for us.

Over to you, our Storm boys.

Gallen’s hurt his rotator cuff and can’t move his left arm above his head.

Lewis should be fine - he’s hurt his knee but was walking around afterwards.
