Agree with you all Fellow Sharks, might be time to bring in Nicho’s Mind Set Coach because I have never seen such good and bad play all at once.

Overall was pretty satisfied with the win - despite conceding 20 points, the defensive stats were actually fairly good

Once they got up by 16, the energy level dropped and they seemed to be going through the motions in 3rd gear. Some of the 5th tackle options were really designed to have an energetic kick chase, but that rarely occurred. The linespeed and first contact in defence was really lacking, and that bit the team with that 3rd Bulldogs try.

I like our forward rotation at the moment. I think there isn't really a period where the team is lacking go forward (part of which is from our back 5 giving good starts to sets). Kennedy and Nikora were standouts and are both having a great year. Brailey looking more active which is nice.

Ronnie really needs to get his head out of his ass. Two tries tonight blown because he is just being careless. I love him, and he does some brilliant work (even tonight) but that stuff ices games.

One of those games where there was a lot of to like, with a lot to improve on, and they went home with the 2 points.

I thought he was pretty average.
Did a job, but he’s a way off a spot in the top 17.
He didn't seem to even try and break the line. Strong hit ups but once he hit a defender he almost drops down. Second half there were 3 or 4 in a row he took in a few sets but all looked very similar. It was after the Bulldogs fired up though but it did seem to be his action not the defenders.
 

Frenzy.

The fact he made one error going for a quick PTB and then not correcting his rise and PTB technique for each subsequent hitup suggests he was told to find his front, get up for a quick PTB and don't worry too much about PCMs.

You're right, he didn't bend the line nor try to wrestle. Just crashed in and let himself go down, mostly on his knees.
