Loves the snark keep it coming.

Has to be Cronulla here. Dolphins have been pretty disappointing to start 2026. Think they'll come good over the season but right now Sharks look the better outfit.

Sharks and Dolphins at Ocean Protect. There's a joke in there somewhere.

JWH doing interviews is hilariously cringe.

JWH a face for radio.

 

[Rudy]

Cobbo is kinda garbage.

 

[Diesel]

That’s bullshit. The ref didn’t hear the challenge

 

[mozza91]

Sutton is a fraud.

 

[MRN]

Great tackle punished because it looks hard.
And then didn't WANT to hear the challenge.

 

[t-ba]

That's f**king atrocious officiating.

 

[Rudy]

f**k off Sutton

 

[Diesel]

Poor communication on the 5th tackle
