Game Day vs Stains

[Weaponhead]

SJ is equalling the lead for Try Assists so far this season with 6.
Chad is yet to register one this season.

Dragons destroyed the left hand side defence - Wade 11 missed tackles, Townsend 3 missed tackles, Dugan 8 missed tackles, and Hiroti 4 missed tackles. That was 26 of the Sharks' 44 missed tackles (59%). Compare this to the right side - Nikora 0 missed tackles (made 40 tackles), SJ 1 missed tackle (made 22), Ramien 4 missed tackles, and Katoa 2 missed tackles.

Our back three do not get the team rolling. Will Kennedy for all of his runs had a total post-contact metres of 25. They start the sets slow, and then the team never recovers.

Whenever Brailey runs out from a quick play the ball, he looks and sees no one with him.

The team is lazy, dumb, and just not good enough.

Good analysis. Go back further with Chad and he is now into double figures of games without a TA. He also has no line break assists for the season. He is like a pivot in under 10s. Just there to pass to someone else. Chad gets a lot of heat from the forum and whilst he is not on his own as an under performer as the half he needs to show something other than good hair and usually solid defence.

The lack of support play is reflective of a lack of urgency and desire. Brailey should be thriving in the quicker game but is not. Sharks have the fewest DH runs in the comp.

Using the TA measure, Johnson is creating but he is throwing up a lot of rocks to go with a few diamonds. On the other hand Chad throws up nothing.

Good point about the back 3 and getting sets off to a good start. Kennedy doesn't threaten at this level. He doesn't have the power to make a dent. Katoa is elusive and having a crack but is heart attack material. Hiroti was targeted as a newby and he didn't look strong in contact. Ronnie out for 6 weeks is a blow. Need Nene fit quick.

I'd probably put Dugan at fullback.

But Jeez, we are thin in the other outside backs if we do that.

Remember when we had too many fullbacks?

 

[Generalzod]

if i was Morris i tell Johnson to look elsewhere...There was a reason why the Warriors got rid of him.

 

[carcharias]

Wonder what Barba is up to these days?
Oh that’s right... banned for life.
My mistake.

haha.

Start of the season we had too many good outside backs to fit in.

I'd never even heard of the bloke that played on the wing in the last game.

I watched him in the trial Vs Manly. He didn’t look out of place at all. Yesterday he was terrible

I would chop out one of my nuts to have him back in our jersey right now

Ouch... love the passion but handing out one of your jatz crackers is damn extreme.

 

[imasharkie]

Too much blame on Chad.
He was slow as all f**k yesterday...
People are complaining about him playing the way he always has.
There are other blokes - Woods SJ Fif Moylan...even Nikora to a point.
All playing well below their best.
Or not even playing as usual.
Brailey looks afraid to try anything.
He should be using his size and speed more than ever now.

Don’t get me started on kicking.
SJ kicked for touch yesterday and where he was aiming and where it went were two wildly different locations....we’re all thinking the same thing....he doesn’t deserve to wear the 6.

Did you like that Frenzy?
We’re, wear, were and where !!

Moylan didn't play yesterday, Carch, can't blame him. We won the game he played in last week.

At least he has TA's. On the other side we have Turtle running round in circles looking for a mirror.

Must have been committed a crime against humanity...

 

[Generalzod]

How come Neme wasn’t used Yesterday?
