2018 SF1 Fri - Sharks 21-20 Panthers @ Allianz

[Billythekid]

We're busted. Storm rabbits gf

Tonight wasn't your best game but you always step up against us. If Graham and Gallen are out that obviously doesn't help but I'm pretty sure it'll be a close game anyway.

Congrats sharks. Gritty win in the end.

Bad luck panthers. Tough loss to take. If it's any consolation, that's a young team that will improve again next year, and with another year maturity I don't think they will make the same dumb plays in the big moments.

Havent we heard that for the last 2 years?

 

[Pedge1971]

There’s only one team that can win at the death in the big dances.

Too bad they’ve been in Bali for the last 2 weeks.....

1997?

 

[umina panther]

They are absolute merkins. Yeah he had a poor game but without him they don't get here. I hate how they sum up some's season over their last game.

Got to the exact same spot without him the last 2 years. He is a fraud

 

[Pedge1971]

I've bagged him since the start of the year when people were saying he will be NSW's thurston.

QLD still have about 4 halfbacks better than him...

Name them please.

Did not watch neins coverage but tbf if the guys roasting Maloney were Johns, Fittler and Lockyer then how can you argue?

All of them knew how to ice a game and the only ones out of this f**king overrated bunch of halves who now can do it consistently are JT (retired), Munster (has Smith). All the rest blow hot and cold including Jimmy as much as I love the bloke.

A premiership winning fraud. For mine there are others to blame for the loss too.

Yes they may be good judges but they have had bad games also. I'm just over the way they criticise and target a player in a team whenever they lose.

well penrith threw that away. should've won easily but were their own worst enemy, especially in the first half.

moylan, Fifita and chad were huge for Cronulla, just got them home. can't see anything but a huge storm victory next week though

 

[Pugzley]

Congrats, Sharkies! No hard feelings and remember what I said about The Melbourne Scum and Cam Smith next week. Send Luke Lewis out a winner!!

 

[Tommy Smith]

Was Merrin injured or did he only get 20 minutes game time?

 

[Munted]

Was Merrin injured or did he only get 20 minutes game time?

Think it was all he got as game time.
He's been so bloody ineffective lately.

 

[Tommy Smith]

At 28 he should be a leader and in the prime of his career.

Instead he's soft and a defensive liability. The lazy lump should be ashamed of his 'efforts'.

I think you’ll find Gallen lost that for you
Mentioned 2017 version of Maloney ...so what does Maloney do
Try’s to prove Gal wrong by bringing back 2017 Maloney.
That’ll never work.

 

[Saxon]

Elbow-Shoulder hit the ground, lost feeling in it.
Possible rotator cuff, could not lift his arm above his head. Doubtful for next week.

Grub will be fine. He'll just needle up.

 

[roofromoz]

Nothing like having an old, experienced hard-head coach for a bit of attitude adjustment at half time in these big ones, eh Gus?

Gus?

Whatever happened at half time almost worked.

 

[TheFrog]

It's bad hey. Joey looks like he is about to bash someone. He's done and absolute poultice that merkin

He used to regularly go off his nut as a player when the result didn't go his way as well.

 

[Willie Ray]

After the game,Cleary had met his Dad. Began to leave for the tunnel and was visibly upset (in tears). Fafita came from nowhere and offered his sympathies.

thanx for that

 

[Willie Ray]

Came out and met Cleary at the tunnel. Kid was pretty upset. Put his arm around him and spoke to him before going back to the sheds

thanx M

Its like a wake in the commentary box. Theyve all done their dough in

Music to my ears.

They should be excluded from betting on matches just like players.
