Embarrassed

[sandshark]

The players should be. I’m sure they are.

Another snowboarding trip during a training week will make them feel better I'm pretty confident in that..

f**king pathetic!

 

[King Ben]

As you can imagine, I'm thrilled this was the one game of the year I was able to watch in person.

 

[carinashark]

Well we are owned by Manly now. 2016 was a great ride but do we have the resolve to build a winning culture?

 

[sharkie23]

Out of all the top 8 teams we are by far and away the worst to watch

Your being too nice - any other team is better to watch than this mob. Boring, predictable and like a Wrestlemania bout from the 1980’s always have the potential to loss the unlossable match like the Iron Sheik smashing a chair over the junk yard dogs back while the ref has his back turned
Glad for the GF win - but I’d say it ain’t going to get better anytime sooner

 

[Stake Removed]

Ramien produces a great try just before half time, is causing Eagles problems, but does not get enough of the ball in 2nd half.
Dugan basically never touched ball whole game ditto Katoa
Leutele never gets clear space with ball, great rucking it out.
Not one bomb not one
Gall too many hit ups way too many, Prior is starting to do the same, the forwards get the ball too much.
Brailey offers nothing, lets chase Koroisau he is off contract, and have younger Brailey be next in line.

 

[taipan]

We have the goal line defence of a revolving door.Disgraceful.
The Manly forwards rode roughshod against our forwards.they were bigger, faster and made ground every time offloaded and ran at will,and rarely stuffed up their backline.
Gal thought he was a 3rd centre.

I'm getting to the stage of saying it's time to go'..............fill in the blanks.
At least two forwards ;Gal retire baby.Fifita not the same.Could someone put adhesive tape on Prior's hands.We are in front and he loses the pill/Guess what the next set of 6 for the Eagles they score.
Think if we had Edric Lee on the wing ,Turbo wouldn't have out jumped him for the 4 and 20. pie.


We are the 21 st Century Nth Sydney,grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory.

We had very little in attack. Flat, lazy, confused attack.

Big problem was the 10 - 15 mts they made every faaaarkin run. Where has our defence gone ?

On our back foot every tackle. They just decided where they wanted to be, and went there.

Very disappointed and sad.

 

[Thick Skinned Shark]

The only team and fans who should rightly feel more distressed than us - would have to be the Raiders!

 

[bluefox68]

Maybe it’s time to blood Xerri and drop Katoa.

1. Holmes
2. Leutele (L)
3. Ramien
4. Xerri (L)
5. Dugan (will improve)
6. Moylan
7. Flanagan (we can’t do worse than Chad)
8. Woods
9. Segeyaro
10. Prior
11. Lewis (see Dugan comment)
12. Graham
13. Gallen

14. Brailey
15. Bukuya
16. Fifita
17. Paulo

 

[Born BB&W]

Moylan is a fullback
Duges is a centre
Val is a roving winger
Chad is Newtown
Gal is a 30 minute player
Fifita is an idiot
Flanno is weak
A halfback is required - corey norman?
Katoa is taking up a spot

A very good assessment Snout.

 

[sandshark]

rinse and repeat next week.

 

[Craigshark]

What’s with Segyaro? One week he isn’t playing enough minutes, then all of a sudden he is playing way too many. His service is terrible. I don’t even remember him getting tackled or Brailey for that matter? We miss Ennis so much. Why isn’t Brailey allowed to run?

 

[shaggs]

woods to start.
Fifita to the bench

Dugan for leutele.

Seggy to Newtown. That ship has sailed.
Brailey to play what is front of him and run a minimum 5 times each half and 2 kicks each half.

Gal hit up on tackle 1-3 only

Fifita to run straight and find his front.

Chad to run straight before drifting. Minimum 5 runs per half.

Pick the best two wingers from edrick, feki and Katoa or whoever else is fit. I don’t really care, none have been that great.
Yes edrick has been better, but it was low bar to jump.

 

[Card Shark]

What’s with Segyaro? One week he isn’t playing enough minutes, then all of a sudden he is playing way too many. His service is terrible.

He should be on early in the .2nd half.

 

[Quigs]

Arhhhh you are all quigs's, the players are quigs of quigs and I am going to bed a very cranky old shit.

Stuff you all for far-can up me weekend.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Message to Flanno.

Leave Val at Fullback for 80 minutes.
Dugan plays at centre or not at all.
He can take Leutele’s position because he’s lost it in defence.

Tell Gallen he’s not making his decision about retiring or not. The Club has decided it’s his last season with the Club. And for the rest of the season he does one hit up a set of six.

Tell Fifita to stop the shyte penalties

Remind the team that after you score a try the set of six after it it’s important to not drop the ball and give the opposition an easy reply. That’s right just stay focused on holding the f**king ball that set.

Tell the team to tackle the opposition player with at least two defenders and not one out defence. How the f**king hell are you going to stop the oppositions momentum with one on one tackling in general play?

Tell the team to stay in the line with goal line defence. Too many outside men leaving gaps because they’re rushing too much.

And Flanno if it was your decision to not take the two when it was 26-26 give yourself an upper cut!

 

[SharkShocked]

at 26 all the decision not to take the shot at goal didn't annoy me so much as i thought there would probably be 3-4 more tries given how bad the teams were defending.

But f**k me that ball to Katao on the end of that set was f**king criminal.

Yep it’s robotic play.

The pass was thrown because it was part of the play but it wasn’t on so it shouldn’t have been thrown.
