2019 R14 Thu - Raiders 22-20 Sharks @ GIO

[kbw]

We try our best

The ones at the game did well not to storm the field the way the refs were letting Cronulla offside.
The sharks have really turned into an unlikable team over the last couple of years, disgracefully filthy and not just Dugan's look

 

[GongPanther]

nah, more like 4 more wins

Even better!

Feels like the refs put the whistle away a bit from the Raiders' excessive milking. Wish they'd get on with things a bit more and not put on a play every tackle. Let the refs make the judgement as to whether the defender is taking too long.

The 10 was atrocious for 60 mins in one direction though.

 

[Mr Spock!]

What was with the sharks jersies?

I thought I was watching the tigers for the first 20 minutes.

Im not a huge fan of how much we milk in particular in the attacking 20m. We are also plenty grubby.

It was the 10 that was making me fume lol

Poor Sia might have played one season too many. He was pretty bad tonight

Fatty: "Wade Graham was instrumental in NSW winning last year"

Yes, Fatty, he was instrumental by not being on the field to give away criminal stripping penalties.

Tonight proves that we're still prone to other teams getting under our skin. Sharks threw us off our game from 25 minutes onwards where some composure would have shut the gate, better teams would have.

Its a given that Sia drops the ball at least once after coming on, usually in his first minute. Even the sticky spray couldn't help him tonight.

Is Fatty still a ‘thing’?

 

[Someguy]

Reckon Klein got that right tbh, and I rarely say that.

The hit was absolutely fine, the stuff on the ground was bitchy but he didn't get him in the head or anything. Third man in inciting the handbags was the first penalty offence.

The confusion is coming from that fact that majority of the year the team that starts the ruckus receives the penalty, even if the ref had already called play on. Right call tonite hopefully this means we are back to the refs reffing the game and not the players running the show

 

[Chief_Chujo]

The sharks gave away 5 penalties in first 20, then apparently they had perfect discipline for the next 40 until the count had evened up

Not to mention letting them leave early and defend offside all game.

Scoreline flatters the sharks. Refs dragged them back into it.

 

[ram raid]

Probably the best two teams in the comp at the moment!

 

[gerg]

It’s better crowd involvement then anything the Broncos crowd can do

That's a bit unfair. After they score a try the crowd does that weird thing where it looks like they're 'milking' a stallion with two hands.

 

[coolumsharkie]

How good was that game of footy??

Congrats to the Raiders they are a great football side this year.

There were no Burgii in tonight’s game, so the ruckus was (correctly) penalised.

Lol Nicoll Mongstad.

What a dumb merkin. Just couldn't help himself.

That's what you get like looking a AwFuL bun headed merkin.

 

[shear_joy9]

He did the right thing when some neanderthal bone head cheap shots your halfback on the ground

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Jeez the sharks have a bunch of unlikeable pricks

Jeez the Waders have a bunch of unlikable pricks.

Go swim in Lake Burley Griffin at midnight.

 

[to_ddeath]

Townsend for Origin halfback, pinpoint accuracy with the game on the line...

 

[Iafeta]

Some of that refereeing from Gashley Klown, as per normal, was diabolical. For one, do they even call offsides anymore? For two, Cronulla were laying in the ruck so long they even had time to apply the lube and unwrap the Trojan - being Cronulla though whilst they had the time they still went raw. And three, wtf were they expecting when Fatfita drops down like he’s the Ultimate Warrior on a prone opponent? It was cheap and he got called on it. What about Gallen slapping Bateman in the face and somehow getting the penalty ffs?
