2017 R25 Sat - Sharks 14-16 Roosters @ SC Group

Credit to the ref for having the balls to call that penalty....correct call.

Yep.
Correct call....but a rule interpretation that exemplifies a lot that is wrong with NRL these days.

 

[TheFrog]

Storm and Eels are in a class of their own.

Beer shower over keyboard.

Sharks fans have no right to boo at the end there after all the f**king leg ups you got.

Motm - Matt Cecchin. As a reward you get life membership of the Cronulla Sharks. Congratulations.

Lolol the Sharks dived all game.

That was our first pen in about 50 min so the Sharks can EAD.

I agree. Rooters out-dive Sharks and Cordner out catted Gallen. It was a massive effort all round

I lol'd

It wasn't the tackle, it was slowing down the play the ball in a scoring position. Not sure why Gallen wasn't binned.

Imo..a 1 v 1 legs tackle should be rewarded by the defender being allowed to slow it down.

It will help to discourage 3 man wrestling efforts.

Lol

Yeah I'd imagine most home crowds would respectfully clap when their team loses by a penatly goal on fulltime. Correct call or not.

Two good sides but so much derp in this game. Gallen gives the game and a top 4 position away.

The Sharks lost by two,but were easily an 18 point worse side territorially.

The Sharks forwards looked tired.Their backline is lively as hell,but there are weaknesses in their armour.

We will lose next week

 

[RoosTah]

With a dive from your cat of a captain.

Was a fairer penalty than that bloody send off

Storm and Eels are in a class of their own. The rest are making up the numbers.

Eels??? The Eels are not even close to being in the same class as Melbourne. I so hope the Eels finish fourth

Clear professional foul

 

[TheFrog]

Sharks are actually trying to finish in 5th

More likely than not, they'll be 6th tomorrow.

 

[OVP]

Just one other thing. Luke Lewis, incredible player. Probably best player on the ground tonight.

 

[RoosTah]

Yep.
Correct call....but a rule interpretation that exemplifies a lot that is wrong with NRL these days.

100% - the fact that a potential neck breaker spear tackle apparently isn't worth a send off, but that is is an absolute joke.

 

[wittyfan]

Eels??? The Eels are not even close to being in the same class as Melbourne. I so hope the Eels finish fourth

9 wins from their last 12 suggests otherwise. I'd be very surprised if both aren't grand finalists.

 

[shaggs]

More likely than not, they'll be 6th tomorrow.

Same same

Pfft it was a blatant and intentional professional foul.
2 teams full of sooky diving cats, lead by the most overrated softc@<ks in the NRL.

So is there room for a side with 11 wins from 13? Maybe you might need to beat them first before claiming a place in the big one.

Overrated softcocks? Pffft coming from a fan of the bunch of fairies that were too afraid to tackle anyone in a storm jersey tonight that's pretty rich lol
