[Vlad59]

Lovely forward pass on that last play by the dogs

 

[Nealo 12]

Bust out the flares

And burn out city tonight

 

[txta2]

Sharks aren’t making the finals.

worry about your own team

Talakai sort of ran too far. Put Nicho in an awkward position.
A player of his calibre should have nailed it but it’s pretty funny seeing people laugh as if they’d pot it.

Was he responsible for anything good from the Sharks? Against so so opposition.

 

[Danny-Boy]

that is some next level choke from Hynes.

Nico could have simply dropped back and taken it from another 10m back.

 

[to_ddeath]

That’s about 5 in a row I’ve tipped the wrong side of Shatnulla
Utter punish of a game but typical of origin period slop

 

[OzDragon]

Sharts did well considering their origin players backed up

 

[Nealo 12]

Happy I tipped the fraud dogs tonight and played my joker

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

see you in the finals.....lol

if you guys make it..

I mean I don't think anyone with a brain thinks any drop goal is a guarantee but that was about as good as you'll get in golden point and a genuine NRL halfback should slot more than he misses.

I think poor Nicho is copping it not just for that miss, but because it's another part of a clear pattern

25 metre pass from dummy half?
The 15 metre pass looked to be Brailey’s limit.
Again, Nicho should have nailed it, but it wasn’t a gimme like people are making out.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Kiraz isn't a fullback, doesn't know what to do in defence, leave him on the wing, I think Taaffe is a good player, don't know why Ciraldo doesn't rate him.

 

[Diesel]

See ya all in the sharks forum

 

[Artiste]

that is some next level choke from Hynes.

Keeps getting worse

PTB was 5m out, Nico gets it 19m out takes a couple of steps and kicks from 17m out... and shanks it under pressure from Mahoney. Stand back another 1-2m and take 1 step to kick under no defensive pressure.. what would I know, though, I'm not a $1m nrl half who trains for this type of scenario.

Yeah, fair enough on the pattern of not delivering in pressure situations.
The field goal set up was horrible but.
It’s on Nicho too by sending Talakai back under the play before.
Should have sent him straight ahead then he gets a crack at a better angle.

 

[Valheru]

Bulldogs have no idea in attack but their defence is going to keep them in games all season.

Outside chance of top 4 if cronulla continue to shit the bed but sharks have as easy a draw as you can get from this point with only the cowboys currently in the 8 on their schedule.

Soward used to stand a mile back and no team could get any pressure on him at all, the modern halves need to replicate.

1-2 metres? Could have helped him.
Dunno if the 10 metres mentioned in your previous post would have worked with Brailey not being able to pass that far.
