GAME DAY - Newcastle

[2012....Sharks Year]

Can't be faarrkked reading the rest of the thread but if you replace Duges with Xerri we win comfortably. Eddy had Duges in all sorts. Will be interesting to see if Bomber has the nuts to make the call.

I feel more gutted that I should just goes to show you should never ever build yourself up tooa level with this mob

Actually I’m not that upset with the loss basically Gallen Chad Dugan played f**king shit, Fafita though can hold his head up high...

 

[YTSharks]

I thought Nikora was close to our best

 

[jc155776]

Game plan was f**ked. Why not attack the awful defence of SKD? Every time we went that way we made meters and looked threatening.

So much ball hogging and poor options.

Hopefully we get our shit together soon.

 

[Feej]

I fear we’re about to see the “one season too long” thing from Gal. Looked off the pace.

 

[Generalzod]

How can the refs tell whether or not a ball is juggled or with intent

 

[Weaponhead]

I thought Nikora was close to our best

Agree. Encouraging performance.

 

[shaggs]

I thought prior was ordinary.
Better in his second stint. Needs to come off the bench.
Woods and Fifita to start

Gal to the bench, Williams in at 13.

Blayke Brailey needs some games in reserves.

Play another forward off the bench.

They looked and played like a snoozy Flanagan team, but with hints of attacking football. It was those times they shit themselves when they made space.

Was Chad ordinary or were the forwards dominated in go forward??
It’s going to take a few weeks to shake off the flanno rust. They don’t know any other way.

I’d like to see what everyone else’s stats were compared to Fifita. Is he the new Gallen stat man? Is he better served by saving something to be explosive?

Is dymock the defensive coach? The nrl has moved past the two steps and wait style. Get off the line and cut other teams off.

We need more of the young guys in the team.

It will be interesting to see how much patience Morris has with some of the shyte that was dished up by certain individuals tonight.

Yep... and those on here who post trial was predicting sharks by 30 odd and joking that Nathan brown would be sacked pre season - nice call... not.
Fail of a game... NRL will hail it a triumph. Newcastle win in front of packed stadium.
Honestly, the game was shite. Cronulla couldn’t have been any worse and we flogged in the penalty count.
On the plus side, defence was reasonable in consideration the lack of ball we had and time spent on the line. Nikora looks the goods and agree keep blooding the young blokes.
Negative - plenty... errors, rudderless, lack of cohesion, attitude... need I go on.
Chad Townsend - never been a fan, up till the pass he was okay, but that pass is his standard. Bloke goes public about taking young Flanagan aside to school him about who the chad is, but gets schooled himself. He would look good in a raiders jersey
Standard sharks - how many years has it been since we won the first round??

 

[Craigshark]

Really it all comes down to discipline. We have never had much of it, however will it completely go with Morris in charge?

 

[Quigs]

Anyone want to buy a couple of tickets to the May Grand Final. Ive got a couple I am thinking of offloading.

 

[Frederick]

we flogged in the penalty count.

Penalty count was 9 all

And the NRL said they were instructing the refs to allow more free flowing football. FMD the 10metres tonight was not policed at all and the lying on the tackle player was business as usual.

Newcastle were not great. Which makes the Sharks performance even more shyte.

 

[YTSharks]

Newcastle won’t make the 8 after that display, we were awful and all they could manage to score from was a forward pass and an intercept. The win will put bandaids over foundation cracks

 

[shadowboxer]

Penalty count was 9 all

Oh right - what was it at half time? Regardless... poor all round

 

[Generalzod]

They looked very bad. Long way to up from here. Johnson & Chad were diabolical.

Still early days have faith

Would go like hotcakes in the Goons forum Quigs

This happened right in front of me.

I called no try live...but only because I thought when he was juggling it, it hit a knight before he regathered it.
