Phew

Happy to get the win, Sharks were brilliant in defense today. Even with a reshuffled back line the Warriors had enough ball to score a lot more points if the Sharks came in with anything less than what they did. Very brave, although I imagine little consolation.

Jesus Christ these refs will be lucky to have a job next week

Why???? When was the last time a ref was dropped under Archer????

No accountability at all no wonder why they dish up incompetent shit week after week.

Warriors of last 4 years would of lost that, Warriors winning a game when they play like that is a sign they're going good.

Winning any game without Shaun Johnson is a big win for them.

Definitely, they were very tough, with a shortened bench as well. Good sign for them that they can hang in there like that, missing some top players.

Sharks were their stupid, gutsy, depleted selves that they have been for most the year.

Very frustrating moments like the Politini non pass, thinking we are likely to take the wooden spoon, knowing that with a 5% improvement in key moments in execution we could have avoided it, despite the shocking on field and off field hammering to personnel we have copped.

Politoni costs the Sharks the game.

His name even begs to have plod substituted into it.

We will take a couple of ugly points! definite S O S SJ and Koni

Felt sorry for the kid (although glad he didn't pass). Inexperience was the thing there. Tomkins just did enough backing off towards Gordon to put doubt in his mind and cause the hesitation that allowed Gordon to overrun him.

A more experienced player probably wouldn't have let it distract him the way it did.

Yeah, plenty of players have done it, some with way more experience than him, I hope we Sharks fans don't crucify him for it. It was poor, but he has been good for us and has been thrown in the deep end with both our first grade hookers gone from the club.

It is frustrating to be last and think "if only" and we wouldn't be last, but hopefully he learns from that and is a better player for it.

It hot his shoulder it never hit the hit.

And here, gentlemen, is the exact moment jc155776's brain exploded...

Have to take my hat off to the Sharks, that was a really amazing effort, particularly in defence. Cannot believe how many times they held us out, and in a lot of ways deserved the win more than we did. If you can do that with a second string team, things are heading in the right direction for you.

Feel free to beat the Storm for us next week .

Sharks are just a disgraceful rabble

That's half a reserve grade side on there today...
imbecile.
