Well, this is a danger game for our Eels IMO. The Sharks are on a bit of a roll with 3 wins on the trot. The Eels also have won their past 3 games, but haven't exactly been convincing.
I thought our opponents in the Bulldogs last week, were probably given less respect than they deserved, most likely as they sit at the bottom of the ladder. They put in a massive effort and lost by only 2 points. However, after watching the Storm put 40 on them last night, I'm not so sure.
The Sharks see the return of Moylan, Ramien and Dugan and if I were Parra, I'd be throwing a few big boys at Moylan as I believe that he is the most vulnerable.
The match up for me is Johnson and Moses. Johnson has been in some very good form and actually earning his wage of late. Moses has been in good form all season and will need to be on top of his game today.
For me, If we are to win this game, we need to see our backs stand up, particularly our right edge. Waqa needs to improve in most areas of his game and BA would know this.
Also, our kick pressure and line speed in general must improve on the past few weeks. The most noticeable difference I've noticed in the Eels team from early season to recent weeks is a considerable drop in line speed. I am hoping like most Eels fans that this is the game that we put in close to a 80 minute effort and Dylan Brown grabs the game by it's horns.
This should be a cracker on a rainy and windy Sunday afternoon!
So, who wins and by what margin?
MOM?
GO YOU EELS!!!

No brains Parra no brains man this is painful.
I know it's pissing down rain but this is really poor from us. Unbelievably poor
You'd think we were up by 50 and wanting tackling practice...
I'm running the game through Brown and take my chances.
Playing a top 8 side in conditions like this is similar to semi final football as wet puts pressure on your whole game . It really emphasises tactics, composure and game management. Worrying signs here.
Really want to hear BA in the presser
Same shit week in week out. BA it's on you dickhead.
Thank you Frank. I am glad someone has said it.
This is a new low, even for our window lickers
4 hit ups then reef it down the other end
Ugly, ugly, ugly. 2 points yeah!
