Apart from catweasel who doesn't have the intelligence of a cat or weasel, who is saying that?

Anyhow, apparently the Broncos missed 5 tackles that game. Which seems unlikely.

IBM but I'm not sure if that is trolling or just blind from 8 years of self gratification during the Origin period.

Cronulla were awesome in the first half. All their day game experience was on show and their ability to spread the ball one sideline to the other had the Broncos in sixes and sevens.

Didn't think the Broncos did their homework on the Sharks. Everybody knows that they love the short kicking game, they maybe the best in the business at it and three tries came directly off of it. Hopefully it's a wake up call to Boyd and Kahu who have been found wanting on a few occasions.

Thought the Sharks were the better side in all facets but I'm pleased with the fight back from Brisbane. I'm glad that even on an off day they showed some pride in the jersey. Unfortunately, the play under pressure is concerning and it's an area that the playmakers are going to have to address if they want to win a premiership sometime soon. Still early days but they'll have to fix it if they want to go a step better this season.

Well done Sharks fans. Players produced a big Sunday performance and announced themselves as one of the premiership frontrunners. It would not surprise me to see them run out in this year's Grand Final.

Just wanted to say that it's always great to see The Bonkos lose. Well done and well played to Cronulla. I hope you actually win the comp. Best of luck.

I didn't want to be bitter and come off a sore loser so I kept my previous post short and simple, but now after some reflection I will reply properly.

Sharks started on fire and we were very slow out of the blocks, the Sharks were sensational in that first 40, they had all the ball and run of play, and a few calls I thought at first were wrong, I can understand in the scheme of things, when a team is so dominant they tend to get those calls, so not really annoyed like I was when they happened.

Travis Waddell should not play next round for us, his service out of dummy half was exceptionally poor, we were lucky more of his passes weren't called forward. Our attack stuttered with him starting, the Sharks to their credit seized the opportunity and played well enough to make it hard for the Broncos to recover.

The second half was more Brisbane, Nikorima and McGuire were great out of dummy half, they could have layed down but they didn't, Sharks didn't play poorly, they still played well in that second half, Brisbane were just Brisbane, unfortunately they gave the Sharks to much of a head start.

Only changes I would make is Waddell gone, Blair into the front row with McGuire at hooker until McCullough returns. Maybe TPJ on to the bench for added Thaiday like punch.

Congrats again on the win Sharkies, very good side this year.

I said this earlier but it's telling when we kept Buttriss and moved on Waddell.
