I knew we were stuffed when . . . . . . . . . . .

Well for me, apart from the first time the kickoff left the tee, was when Big Headed Ronnie left the saloon passage for the knights first try in the corner.(again)

If you get a chance, or a stupid enough to watch the replay, just check out the body language and the stares on the other players in the ingoal area straight after the try. It was like, "not this a-far-can-gen". It is not like this is a one off it happens two or three times a game for the past bloody how many games. No make that months.

As soon as it happened and Ronnie had that look on his face like he had just shit himself, I just wanted the trainer to run on the field and tell him that the coach has hooked him. He's off.

Imagine being a block headed forward slogging your guts out to protect your line and then you look over to the sides and see this happening every game.

It started the rot in the game that had a lot of rot as far as I am concerned.

Shit, everyone makes mistakes but doing the same stupid thing week in week out and nobody apparently fixing it.

Oh well there is always nek year and they can't take 2016 away from me.

Seriously what were the Shark's players thinking throughout the game.Lack of concentration, over vigorous and robotic in defence.
Can't blame Bomber for the sh*t dropped by the players .

Worth nothing we have not beaten another top 8 side.But we sure as hell have beaten ourselves many times.

but yes you are right quigs it was the kick out on the full that gave it away.
I knew Clownsend was playing so, didn’t bother attacking my eyeballs with his utter, overrated dross. Think: a cellophane, gift wrapped lump of shit, tied up with a shiny silk ribbon - a luxury that the blinkered, plonker luvvies will tell us, is a treat to see his “leadership and general play direction” that compliments the team.
Question to the floor, as I won’t treat myself to the spoils of watching the great game that it was - Who kicked the ball out on the full from the whistle?
Oh, and a big shout out to Bomber and the defensive coach - Ronnie says thanks.

I think it was brailey.
I missed the kick but he put his hand up for the mistake.

For their first try, Ramien was at marker and the rest were too slow to communicate and readjust to the numbers. Ronnie has complete tunnel vision and jams in everytime. It was a system failure combined with an individual's habitul defensive misread. It was a good ball from Mann but every team in the Nrl knows to pass long to Ronnie's wing.

The kick out on the full was Brailey. It demonstrated a ridiculous lack of attention to detail. You have a paddock to hit and still missed.

Inexperienced players will struggle for consistency. It will take time to get them NRL hardened. The annoying part is everytime there is a step up in intensity, this team fails to rise. The old Sharks grit is gone. Morris will have to rebuild it to compete with stronger teams. The defensive issues are technique, focus, attitude and systemic. The communication and game awareness are also lacking. There isn't much future in flogging shit teams, then getting flogged by good teams.
