Game day vs Raider

[Quicksilver]

Yes. Same as previous years. Imagine if every player got a top knot? There would be no game day thread.

I might suggest it

Gone from top knot to balloon knot.

 

[Poss]

What about the poor passing today? Seriously horrible. If the ball didn’t go to ground, it was either out in front or at the knees. The sweeping backline movements that have looked so good all year was non existent.

 

[Craigshark]

Only went unnoticed because he has long hair and is cool and is a forum favourite.

For me, he needs to lift his game. He be at less than 50% good game rate this season.

i actually called him out a number of weeks ago in a thread about how much we’d improved, however still thought he was rushing up and missing too many tackles. I copped it big time from memory.

Not from me. He is awkwardly unathletic

Too many ball players, not enough ball runners perhaps. There's a lot of half kind of players in that backline. Trindall, Moylan, Nicho, Wade, Tracey are all halves (sort of)

As shit as we where all over the park the blame has to start with our middles, they simply can’t get through the middle and dominate.

Teams have worked us out, we pass 2-3 wide to make our meters with our backs and edges.
All teams need to do is loosen up their ruck and spread wider and it gives time for the outside to rush up and cut us down.

If we decide to go up the guts the likes of Tolman, Williams, Graham, McInnes even Rudolph and Finucane don’t need 3-4 defenders to bring them down or stop an offload. Hunt is the only player who could be a handful for defence but just isn’t up to it.

We need to hit the market hard and fast for a middle or 2.

Please stop you are making too much sense..
As for the coach giving them a super spray post game as many would be wishing, I can’t see it in him. He has a great demeanour as a coach, hence where we are currently. Respect goes both ways in any business - and the coach has it in spades.

 

[Frenzy.]

That was heartbreaking. Seriously disappointed.
I hope fitzy does not come out with any positives he seen today in the pressor. He should be pissed off and show it.

Would serve no purpose. I expect him to just be realistic and if he's pissed to keep things in house. I'd be more disappointed if he did present as pissed off. Would show signs of stress and being out of control IMO.

 

[Frailty]

It was only time BB ran.

Hard for your hooker to run when the forwards aren't dominating or getting quick PTBs.
Like the Broncos game, Sharks didn't earn it in the middle with the ball.

 

[Weaponhead]

The senior players need to own that performance. Raiders have rolled through our middle for the last few years. There was a complete lack of intensity in defence. Their offloads hurt us every time.

Poor attention to detail and application. Effort and tempo way down. Looking for easy options instead of doing the work. Side to side instead of running through them. Moylan and Nicho were really poor. BB and Tieg were off. Rudolf went back to the old version. Katoas errors hurt but the lack of support from Connor and Hynes was symptomatic of the lack of energy.

Anyway Trindall sux and he should be shot.

 

[SharkShocked]

Dunno about being shot.

But he’s definitely no more than a reserve grader.

Totalling lacking any threat really. Sad but seeing Tolman running out as interchange only spured on the raiders.
Coach may pull the trigger and start blooding the likes of Hazleton and Culhane on the back of Finuncane being absent
Mcinnes was really the only threat.

He is a back up half filling in. What more should be expected?

 

[Quigs]

Couldn"t be bothered reading the "fred"... we were shit, they were good with little or no errors in the first half. We were just depressingly shit.

If we dont get the results (miss try opportunities) in the early part of the game then we simply seem to drop our intensity.

Anyhow we were shit and I don't like beer anymore...... and I blame Scummo.

 

[Ozzi_78]

I got the feeling though he was the Moylan replacement next year which is why he was still here. I hope not. Nothing to do with today either. He just ain’t good.

Tolman should have been sat after his 300th.
He is useless with the ball - he isn't a threat. He pads his tackle count by continuously being 2nd/3rd man in - he doesn't add to line speed or dominating first contact. He may be a great guy but he offers little more than injury coverage imo.

 

[shaggs]

Daniel Vasquez scored a try for joeys a-grade this weekend. Maybe he gets a game for stake?

A back up half should be playing reserve grade honing in on his skill set. Not featuring in 12 minute stints from the bench.

He has been mishandled by the club and it’s hurting him and the team.

dead set gold

He was definitely in the mix for a halves position, hence being re-signed. It would be great get an upgrade on Moyza and Trindall if Mooney can find a better option.

I wish he'd go sit on the sideline or something when we're inside the oppositions 20
