Yeah calm down. You haven't even seen your team play yet.

And it could have been the Perth Sharks you know. Count your blessings.

Anyway if Sharks go Hynes fb Atkinson half I think they’re a solid premiership chance, and with Kennedy having shown he’s not atleast rock solid at the back and Stonestreet gone the opportunity is there. But they won’t.

Melbourne are not it, at the moment, but after SOO they could yet become it. I’m not sure how to improve them, maybe Wishart to wing and Faalogo 14, he’s too green for now and I suspect he won’t get there by the end of a season, very dicey playing him anywhere but fullback week in and out 80mins.

It'd be interesting to see if it'd work.

It would be interesting If it did work, but I can assure you that it wouldn't.

Fun game to watch. There should be an uppercut amnesty for Ronaldo, such a lippy wanker. Papenhuyzen is looking like a flat track bully this year. In everything last week, invisible this week.

Two all time classic commentary howlers on one day. Ennis saying this match had golden point written all over it at 31 -26 and Kevvie thinking that a Warriors’ player had kicked the ball into touch when Bostock miscued.

No.

Ennis was asked do the Sharks go for a field goal here to make it 32-26.

Ennis then said yeah this game has golden point written all over it.

And yet we beat your pussy mob again haha.
Twas a great atmosphere to be there, just like 2016.
You are our bitches, sometimes you just have to face-up to that reality

 

[Tiger Shark]

Looks like the Sharks are in for the buttf**king they deserve

Nope

 

[Tiger Shark]

Fitzgibbon is a f**king Mong, how does your brain work to end up with Atkinson at wing given what was available?

What would you have done ? lol

 

[bad boy bubby]

Oh and BTW the Sharks beat the Storm with only 15 players for 60 mins.
Let that sink in to what a good win that was.

My bad. I didn’t hear the lead up question. Ennis was just talking the match up. Kevvie has the trophy to himself then

I expect Atkinson at wing to get done over like he did. Coates doesn’t necessarily do that to anyone, it’s possible, he’s capable, but Hynes’ best football in the NRL was at FB, he is a readymade outside back over 6ft and it’s very likely he competes and gets enough of himself in the way to change the outcome. Given Hynes history and Atkinson being a natural half that’s proved the goods given the chance, Hynes at half not being particularly impactful in that game or any other highly competitive game, I’d think a shuffle to put Hynes in the outside backs and Atkinson at half is the obvious go. Kennedy was also pus at fb, as I said before Atkinson half, Hynes fb and Kennedy to wing would solve everything.

Funny, I don’t remember Hynes winning the Dally M from Fullback.
Kennedy has been great all season, leading the Dally Ms coming into this game, but because he didn’t have a good game he is ‘pus’.

People like you are the reason Jurbo has be gifted so many origin games.

Why do we give AFL a rap every time someone catches the ball? Those anorexic racists can’t catch shit.

Coates mark would be a candidate for" Mark of the Year" in AFL. ..It was a great mark..

We need Warbrick and Howarth back.. they make a big difference when they are playing.

Hynes was a better fullback than Kennedy, much. I’m far from certain he’d handle the pressure at fb, but him as your halfback has not worked well enough to make you serious contenders.

This game has been f**king awesome, Shame a lot of regular posters aren’t here, they should have know, Storm Sharks always delivers. Best game this season not involving a Penrith win.

Have Penrith had a win?
