What a low game of footy,(even allowing for the rain) the only postitive I can come up with, was we won,nothing else.

Yeah it was a dumb but at least he was showing some sort of passion or excitement (plus I'm sure it was just a timing thing). Sutton looked completely disinterested in the last 15 and this is a lot worse IMHO.I think Lang missed a chance to make a statement to the team and pull Sandopw off the field when he put on the late shot on the Cronulla FB,
what happened to all the ..........."were top 4 specials this year" stuff.
A long way to go yet...and I don't remember anyone of us saying such outlandish things - it mostly came from the media. I'd be more concerned with your mob not coming last, now the Brett Stewart is gone
If Someone were to go though the posts on here I bet there'd be a stack saying something along the lines of top 4 certs. Players, fans and media were hyping it up.
As for Stewart. He hardly played last year and they still made top 5 and nearly top 4. Manly are re-building and probably won't make the semis this year. At least I'm realistic. Nothing to do with Stewart not playing.
I watched the game on tv last night and the way souths played they won't make the 8 either. They'll win a few games but don't look like the sort of team that is consistent. Anywhere from 9th to 13th for them. There's too many other better footy teams out there.
Terrible performance, I am now doubting if we will even make the 8. Lucky we were plaing a very very poor team.
I think Lang missed a chance to make a statement to the team and pull Sandopw off the field when he put on the late shot on the Cronulla FB, he should have been binned and we cant affor these stupid plays. Pull him off the field and yell at him a bit...it might make him grow up a little and think of his team.
The highlight was definately Champion, he was a monster tonight and totally owned Gallen, his defence was great. I thought Taylor was great for half of his time on the park, but the other half of his time he was nothing special. Luke Stuart was again great. Isaac had a good game once he made it to the right ground:lol:
3 Champion
2 Stuart
1 Luke

5 - Granted it fell away badly in the second half, but ball control was excellent in the first half. This was especially impressive because the Bunnies were still using the ball in the wet conditions, but were hanging onto it.
Before you get too down in the mouth about our chances for the year, based on last nights performance, I ask you to think about this....
Does any team ever look good when they are playing the Sharks??
They may not have won a game for a while, but they sure do know how to turn a game of footy into a boring grind fest. I think its because they have such a high quality forward pack, mixed with such a boring halves combo and backline. The outside backs that they have are fairly good at closing things down so you basically end up with a grind fest. The only way you generally see tries against them are from errors or close to the line.
