Terrible game

 

[Pete Cash]

Well on the bright side only 50 years of this and I'll be dead lol

 

[skeepe]

Good defence by the Sharks though, but we haven't really thrown much at them yet. Need to see more from Sezer.

Also not sure how a team concedes 8 penalties in 20 minutes without losing a player to the sin bin, but the refs have been gutless for a while now.

 

[user_nat]

I really hope the Sharks lose this game by 1.

 

[Parra Pride]

Maloney should've thrown the ball at Ennis, that's how origin calibre halves deal with it.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Worst game all year.

Absolute dog shit.

 

[GAZF]

This stationary defensive line bullshit is costing us hundreds of metres per game. All that tackling and the Sharks still make an easy 80 m from their line at the end of the half. We're backpedalling half the time.

 

[McLovin]

I think Shayne Hayne needs to give the Raiders a few more leg up penalties... Pathetic refereeing so far.

 

[Mr. Snrub]

Vintage Raiders today. I love being a Raiders fan. It's always such a treat seeing what they'll dish up.

I mean how many of those 8 penalties were on purpose. At least a couple.

Anyways we are directionless and it's a worry. BJ is a clod but he's at least dangerous in attack.

:lol: on purpose?

Most of them were complete bullshit...

Dean Pay, defensive genius.

 

[McLovin]

I expect the Sharks to go on with this. The square ups will be in full force this half...

 

[Pete Cash]

Yes on purpose.

Most of them were pretty clear cut. I'd rather give penalties away by going for it in the ruck than doing whatever the raiders are doing. The only 50/50 call was the one on Croker.

 

[adamkungl]

:lol: Raiders are f**king garbage. Sharks only need be a bit more patient and they'll put 30 or 40 up

Yeah the Sharks are getting a massive roll on from our passive defence, not sure why we are persisting with it.

 

[Pete Cash]

It's a real mystery.

How can Stuart and Pay think it's working.

 

[Miller was a legend]

I get more enjoyment laughing about Skeepe's comments.

Absolute Gold!

I can't agree more, even while Skeepe and co will attribute Babra's try to Sutton I'd be looking more at the players that let Holmes and Feki make 50 metres in 2 tackles. Raiders are gifting us metres, they had one really good defensive set just before Townsend's attempted 40/20, but apar from that, it has been woeful.

You are absolutely right.

Honestly the refs missed a foul on Hodgson that doesn't mean the raiders have to let the sharks roll up the field with ease.

Actually the only thing that bothers me about that play was giving up 7 tackle sets is so brutal that the missed penalty there feels extra annoying.
