Fifita or Lichaa?

Gallen should become the Sharks 2nd hooker

Fifita.

 

[Griffoshark66]

Another low effort

Carney - He is going backwards, only way to improve him put more pressure on him to improve he is on megabucks he needs to earn them
Gordon - Stripepd one on one lucky Williams knocked it on, when Dowall made break he was making no ground, he is damn slow and Dowall is a player the Roosters tried to offload
Fifita - Another overpaid and has done nothing this year
Graham - Scores one try and thats it

General kicking game what is Sharp telling them to do because it has to be the worse i have ever seen.

Season over thanks Sharp for nothing, keep the players who were failing

Your Graham hatred is laughable.

 

[Card Shark]

Gallen looked great. He busts his gut to get back fit for us so anyone paying him out for being ready for origin can get f**ked when he has to carry some useless merkins. Didn't see him at the end laughing and smiling with the roosters like some other players who had shockers.

Yes agree JC.

Gal deserves something positive out of his career & he ain't getting it with us.

Go for SOO Gal, win it back....you deserve it.

Carney shouldn't be talking with the opposition... He ought to be filthy with himself, shake hands & storm off.

 

[Surely]

There's no way in hell Carney will play 6 for NSW on this current form.

We don't even RESEMBLE last years side.

God the right hand side defense and lack of interest in competing for the ball from kicks is cringe worthy to watch.

But i guess the addition of a winger and two second rowers is going to make a huge difference right? right?

It will

Beaten tonight by a shit kicking game a forward pack that didn't make good metres, and a brain dead winger in wright.

Carney when on song has a great kicking game and our pack when on song makes great meters, slow start let's hope they come home with a wet sail.

 

[Craigshark]

Gallen.. If he wasn't there, we would have been pumped by 40.. Carney is horrible. Frenzy has said he is injured. If he is, don't play him. He's not doing anything for us anyway.

Leutele and Feki.. Only positive.

 

[BatteredFlake]

Kicks on the last:
Us = always under pressure, resulting in a poor kick.
Them = no pressure by any rushing defence from us, kicker has all the time in the world usually resulting in a try being scored.

The stand and wait defence is f**ked we are dead last its obviously not going to f**king work! Fix it!

This! Defence has to be the initiation of attack!

 

[chewsta]

Leutele and Feki are looking great out there on the left. Starting to see why so many ppl rated leutele before injury last year. Feki looke fast! He pulled away easily.

 

[fizman]

I would sack Sharp after tonight. The circumstances are irrelevant, he is a professional RL Coach and it is all about winning - results are everything.

Who to replace him with? I don't care, but we are part of the best RL competition in the world, so there would be plenty of suitable and qualified candidates that could do a far better job.

This playing group is far too talented to be continually under performing at this level.

I saw this coming after the Press Conference in the Round 1 loss to the Titans. Sharp was like "Uncle Arthur" and there was too much back slapping and high fives for a loss.

 

[Card Shark]

Your Graham hatred is laughable.

Sure is, based on tonight's effort .

I can only be critical of 2 players (TC/MG) - the rest tried their ring out.

If we had a five-eighth who could kick & a fullback that would catch, we win by 20.

We were easily the better team but let in too many soft tries & failed to convert numerous chances.

 

[Feej]

Munch better effort, but still didn't get the win. Carney was the difference unfortunately. Actually thought that Ayshford and Wright went okay. We still play dumb - Case in point the way we played the last minute of the game as if it was the 23rd minute of the game.

 

[Card Shark]

Leutele and Feki are looking great out there on the left. Starting to see why so many ppl rated leutele before injury last year. Feki looke fast! He pulled away easily.

When Leutele got hurt last year, I thought our chances nosedived.

He was just starting to come good & we missed his penetration. His defence is outstanding too!

Him and Feki are keepers for sure.

been a feki fan .leutele is showing more than just youthful enthusiasm./ he is a talent who can make a great careeer . Hope its with the sharks .

 

[southland]

Finally! Great to see Feki and Leatele up and running.

Gal improved the team, all players looked like they stepped up except Carney who overplayed his hand. Whats up with his kicking game?.. gone...

Lichaa brought energy and didn't miss a beat. He had a couple of nicely shaped attacking runs, very different from De Gois. Should start off the bench.

Fifita needs to settle the f**k down. Get back to basics, doesnt need to win the game every time he touches the ball, show some patience... run hard and straight..

Better ... but dissapointed to not walk away with 2.

 

[Sharkman]

Thanks for the running commentary. Today I ignored all spoilers, checked the final score then came on here to read how it went down.

A little less painful!

 

[King Ben]

If Carney is playing injured we should give him a week off and let Penani play with Robson. Shocker of a performance tonight.

I know it wasn't Gordon's best performance but I saw him sniffing around the play more than he has so far this year. Needs to catch a bomb though (also see Wright, J. Still Jono's best game so far this season).

Glad to see Gal being used as a decoy runner a couple of times in attack as well.

 

[DJShaksta]

Carney is way down on form and Gordon is scared of the ball.

 

[Card Shark]

It was a good effort Sharkman but it's Easter & we didn't get the chocolates ..... again.

 

[Since 73]

We were a different side.
We looked dangerous with the ball.
Put it down to Gals influence pure and simple.
But the more l see of Gordon the more l know this guy is not a fullback.
He wears the one.
He plays at the back.
But he's not an NRL standard fullback.

 

[Card Shark]

Beau never let's ya down at fullback.
