GAME DAY - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs. Parramatta Eels

[Dragon Slayer]

Hunt and Talakai were the only forwards with impact who were able to change momentum.

And Uele.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

What the hell has happened to the contact in defence, the amount of offloads and blokes getting pushed off is actually embarrassing. The starting forward pack except for brailey were terrible, hunt and talakai had about a 10 minute burst but the rest were atrocious

 

[Dragon Slayer]

RCG and Paulo 328m

Yep rolled upfield all game.

We have no line speed at the moment to meet them at the advantage line.

 

[Quigs]

Bewdy, now we have perfected the one out hit up style of league for the first 70 minutes of each game do you think we might be able to up the standard to the next stage.
You know two blokes running, drawing and passing with maybe a pinch of backing up the ball runner.

Compare Parra's game to ours.

We would of killed them if the game was played under the unlimited tackle rules.

Poor old brailey, was like it was back having aaron woods next to him having to hit their forwards on his own before hazelton and williams would flop over the top

 

[Craigshark]

every half a chance where someone pokes their nose through, every single time, I think wtf is Kennedy or Atkinson.. they should be trailing everything around the ruck.

even then they wouldn’t wrap the ball up. Brailey would put a shot on only for one of them to come over the top but fail to wrap up the ball.

 

[shaggs]

I really enjoyed some parts of that game.
1. Slow defensive line
2. One out running
3. Not catching and holding.
4. Nikora continuing his form. Looks mentally fatigued which is perfect for an edge.
5. Wilton wearing a jersey.
6. Front rowers looking gassed after 60 seconds.
7. Toby Rudolph. Fantastic game.
8. kicking game being so accurate we only missed the fullback or winger twice.


Time for a freshen up. Rotation of the starting forwards.

Start of the second half I think it was talakai got through the first bloke and there was no one there at all, and that was when it looked like we were starting to get on top

yep, it’s just totally non existent.

Get afb here now

 

[SharkShocked]

We are definitely one of the worst teams for support players pushing up with the ball carrier.

We just set for the next play the ball. Has been happening for years.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Move heaven and earth to get AFB here now, we need some mongrel and aggression. Every single forward should be on notice after back to back disgusting games.

 

[roboshark]

34 points against the eels. Brisbane will have a field day next week unless something changes quickly

This.
What’s worse is the fact Trent Barrett got his first win as Parra coach, he got his first as Bulldogs coach as well against sharks
Any luck, Parra go on a run and they sign him up.

You forgot Manly.
He’s 3 for 3 in first wins coaching a club.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Barrett coached last week against Souths no?

 

[DJDL]

Barrett coached last week against Souths no?

Yes and they got flogged.
Tonight was his first win as head coach of the Eels

There 15th they are a bad side, we were running 1st

 

[Stake Removed]

Our support play in first half non existent, there was no one there for an offload.

Only 1 bomb we made a contest.

Kennedy had like 2 minutes of good football the rest ordinary. The sweep play we tried was clunky.

Trindall.is not a lead half he is the B player we seen that tonight, Atkinson teams figured him out.
We may have beat the Roosters but points leaked, we heard on podcasts that Roosters good attack.
The. Panthers destroyed us, it was it's the panthers.
Now eels put on over 30 against us

You think we would have lost to 14 other sides tonight ? yeah right .
