lol no, Panthers have a great draw coming up.

Means nothing because they are clueless in attack with players out of position and only give sporadic commitment in defence. They are also poor as favourites. They'll finish between 9th to 12th.

Worse defeat since the baby broncos about 7 years ago.

 

[TheFrog]

Sharks far too good. I hope they can win it this year.

 

[thorson1987]

Score is flattering... Val missed sitters

Yet the prick can drop kick them over from the sideline.

 

[carcharias]

Pretty bloody impressive effort from the number one team in the comp.

 

[mxlegend99]

I dont know how anyone is shocked. Since we lostlost to Storm our side has been on this path the entire time. Take out our best ball player and metre gainer. Throw in duds like Will Smith and some pommie fullback who is supposedly good... the team is no better than the Knights.

Yeah we had a couple of lucky wins over Manly and Souths. But there were obvious signs of concern in those games with how soft they defended.

They have the softest defence in the NRL. They do nothing with field position and possession. This team has been ripped apart by Griffin and has too many kids in the side now. All talented. But it's not a team anymore. Its just a bunch of good players rounded out with duds who are embarrassing

Good squad, well coached, with a mix of young up and comers and some hard, experienced, consistent wise heads.

Panthers on the other hand have a bunch of kids lead by Peter bloody Wallace.

 

[ed-grimley]

Good to see Barba doing well. Pity about the wasted years...

How so? Our side was equally depleted today. Originay have effected Sharks more. But we were still missing:

Moylan
Mansour
Hiku
Whare
Tmm
Mckendry
Peachey

Through injury and origin. Ontop of stupid decisions to release:
Taylor
Soward
Segeyaro

Honestly this Panthers side was an absolute mess. inexperienced spine. Bandaid solution backline. Forward pack that think they're all halfbacks.

This side was arguably our worst in years. Sharks roster was always better than ours. Too much focus was on who missed out for Origin and not who was missing for other reasons.

Anthony Griffin has ripped a decent team apart. Yeah he gave guys debuts which rocks. But he also threw out guys who had more to offer and has written this season off

Bitch please. The Knights are so so so so much worse

 

[Hutty1986]

That is a fantastic effort from the sharkies. 13 straight is unbelievable. If (when) they finish top 4, they will be hard to stop, esp if they get the job done in week 1 and get a week off. Such a confident footy side

lol no, Panthers have a great draw coming up.

THIS

I reakon Panthers still sneak into 8th

8th-10th

 

[Foz]

I can see Cronulla being minor premiers and being rewarded with a home semi final at ANZ against the Bulldogs.
Mmmm.Is there something not right with this scenario?

Sharks have SFS as their "home" ground in the finals, but I get your point.

 

[Foz]

I thought the SFS was only if it was Sharks V Easts/Souths.lol.

Parra will take 8th. They'll beat Penrith and my pathetic team, so they'll catch up points on both sides. And Parra's for and against is better than the sides fighting for 8th spot.

Campbell-Gillard looks like a gay porn star with that moustache.

You watch a bit of gay porn then?

 

[Card Shark]

Nu Brown is too good for reserve grade....tough with ticker
