Centrebet's best customer .... Robinson?

We lost cos we played sh!t. Simple.

BUT Robinson does hate us.

How about the penalty for the "leg pull" on the Eels line? He was the POCKET REF and still blew his whistle.

The scrum at our end, we go the short side, so he calls out "SHORT SIDE" at the top of his lungs, and the Eels forwards break and go straight to the short side and our 2 on 1 is gone.

We get done for not being square, but they don't get done for playing the ball off the mark.

We get done for having a head where it shouldn't be, they can elbow us in the chin and it's fine.

:crazy:


I don't care about the second half. The game was won for the Eels by the 25 minute mark.

Some of you guys should really take your sharks glasses of for 80 minutes. We were pure shit. All the penalties were warranted I have no issues with the refereeing I do have issues with the missed tackles , Poor defensive reads , The coach , Some of the soft c**k fans on this site , Scott Porter , Vave , Cordobo and the majority of the f**king amateurs that played tonight.

Pissweak effort.

Like the penalty for Tautai having his head in the Parramatta players face? Yeah don't see every other team do that every other week.. I'll call a spade a spade.. no glasses on here.. tone of the game was set in the first 15-20.. by then we are playing like a busted ass and the next 60 minutes your comments are warranted.

Fenzy is right, blaming someone else is easy. We are ordinary, waiting for 2013.
Irvine should look at creating a type of Piss Weak World - ala the late show circa mod 1990s.
it sums us up at the moment.
god knows what the trip back on the bus would be like
any luck flanno might be planking on the roof

^this. Especially the bit about warranted penalties.

Also Vave.....whoever likes him is bananas. He's so soft. Will not make collisions in defence at all. Waits till they get to the side of him then jumps on their backs. Mannah does as well. Cordoba was doing it as well. And Brod Wright.

Softest EVER Sharks defence tonight. Really f**king soft.

weight of possession leads to missed tackles spider .. surely you can work that out .. when things go your way you play with confidence and a team with confidence has a high completion rate..

knew what the result was before the game started.. you will not convince me otherwise
oh please

blaming the ref is ridiculous for tonight's performance

we never looked competitive from kick off

maybe the players don't believe...

Explain to me how you can look competitive when all you are doing is defending? Off the back of penatlies...

I don't think anyone has BLAMED the ref for the loss have they? Tonight I don't even think the ref made a difference at all. The only point I am making is that Robinson is bias against the sharks... maybe he doesn't mean it, I don't know.

The trend is too strong to ignore, take tonights game out of it if you like, the bloke is a merkin.

We lost because we were shit.
vave is a pillow. Good luck in reggies next week. Those other front rowers were shit as well.
We gave away penalties because we were constantly on the back foot. In defence and attack.
Bakuya and Tautai were the best of a bad bunch.

I want to know why
1. We dont move up and wait for the runners to come to us.
2. We are so slow out of dummy half. Obviously on TV angle you cant see if Parra we offside, but they were more keen so good on them.
3. Kicking = poo
4. we dont use support play and players in motion. Robson looked liked Thirsty tonight. He had a runner on each side and had time. He is ordinary but looked great because of support runners.
5. Tupou has been ruined as defensive player and then looks as though he can barely catch.

Also Graham played like a lock tonight. f**k me. Move him there and try something else. We cant go any worse.
I dont reckon even the great Gallen could have helped that rabble tonight.

be more disciplined - then you won't be penalised

it's hilarious you think we lost because of penalties

no. I didn't ask how we could have been competitive. I asked how can you be competitive while defending? There is a difference.

I think the first 15-20 minutes heavily influenced the tone for the rest of the match.

For the record, I wasn't actually expecting to win this game. But for it to degenerate like it did while our defense has been pretty good this year is disappointing. IMO there is a reason. I know what I watched and I'll stick by my opinions.

Your a fool of course you can be competitive when you defend look at last week for example.

Their was a serious lack of trust out there tonight the 1st try was a simple as drawing in the a defender and hiting the hole runner on the outside which then resulted in their second try M . Wright getting caught out as he was trying to over compensate for the inside defender which was best as he had trust issues which leaves atkins a simple task of beating him on the outside shoulder 5 metres out.

Their is some SERIOUS issues that were exposed tonight. Mills and gordon under the high ball. Best and Wright densively. The ruck area.

We are a basket case and some of the recruitment that has already taken place is only going to increase these areas of concern next year. How will we be able to compete through the middle with basically the forward pack that was on show tonight?

Flanno has some serios issues to address and quickly.

A backrower should expect to make 28 tackles per game mate.

Agree, but surely he was more effective and useful when he could run onto the ball and be used to bust the line. Its not going to happen this way.'

Mills was exposed, but its early days, wright tries and is enthusiastic only, The centres were always going to get smashed when they received the ball so slowly.

Lets hope that combination and preperation doesn;t occur again. We were uninterested

I think you will find my original question contained the word all. Not too many teams win games when all they are getting through is defense. 60 odd percent against us in the first half was enough to sink the ship.

Didn't get to watch it (lucky me), I was going out to dinner and just checked in before I went out. FTR I'm on the east side down near Tai Koo. OT, but how much better is the public transport here, than in Sydney!!
