[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 106805"] The Sharks should win this one on a canter, simply because the Brumbies need to hold on to possession, and get their much-famed phase-play going, in order to weave their magic with running lines, decoy runners etc. Against the Sharks pack, which has been massive this season, and who seem to be getting better with every game, it might just be a bridge too far. The Sharks fatties, with BJ Botha leading from the front, have been the class act of the tight 5`s to date, and there`s not too much in the Brumbies tight 5 to challenge for set-phase supremacy, without which you just can`t get the phase-play going. Also, missing the inspirational Mortlock will be a huge loss to overcome. Whoever has to step into his shoes, will be on a hiding to nothing. Legends are not easily replaced, and Mortlock`s certainly one of those IMO. Now I have to find a Fantasy League replacement for him- I can honestly sympathise with Laurie Fisher! [/QUOTE]
