Sharks would only beat us and a few others playing like this fml.

Probably why we've lost quite a few games this year as favourites.

We tend to play just enough. We also win a few when underdogs.

To be fair, today we are missing two origin players and our main goal to stay 5th is to avoid losing by 21 points.

Doesn't the regripping rule only apply if you had possession to begin with?

You certainly don't to grip the ball if you are diving for a bouncing grubber

Nah that'd be Melbourne

Same philosophy. Concede penalties rather than momentum (your lot used to be accused of that when they were successful). In finals, penalties tend to go down so teams that smother can keep opponent's to 2-3 tries.

I thought the Sharks were terrible last week as well despite only losing by 2. Their halves look to be playing pretty ordinary, lost count of the amount of 7 tackle sets Maloney gave away in that game. Aside the purple patch at the start of this one, they've looked pretty clunky.

Monster performance from Gallen though.

as he already touched it, that counts as possession.

You guys play Cowboys or Manly right.

Will beat the Cowboys in Sydney. Manly are a danger and can trouble the Sharks if they play like this.

So he had to regrip a ball without ever having a grip on it in the first place?

Seems like a bit of a poor use of the English language to me
