WOW! Possibly the worst game of Rugby League in history. I think too many people are just looking at the scoreline here. Tigers won it from a dropped ball by Peach and a dummy half try to Senter over the Sharks try, (however that was awarded) from a kick. There was simply no spark to this game. The Sharks seemed to go out there with no game plan. It was like watching premier league before the Dogs - Eels match. I don't know where they go from here, if we had scraped out a win then atleast they'd be a bit more confident but this is one that got away. A top 4 side would have won this game by 30 points. What I saw was 2 teams that won't make the 8. I realise it's only round 1 but thats all we have to go on so far. They certainly didn't play as a team but as individuals. No one was hitting the line or backing up.
Stevens, Hilder, Sullivan, Bird, Saleh, Galloway and Reick were the only guys who seemed to be motivated, although none of them did anything special they just played better than the others.
Kimmorley was in second gear, Peachey made costly errors, Bailey looks happy to be getting his paycheck and Beattie looked like he had run a Marathon prior to taking the field.
McGoldrick seems to be out of his depth and created nothing, Gallen wanted to fight everyone, Nutley tried hard but was out muscled, Bosnich wasn't his best and Isemonger did very little.
I desperatley hope we improve next week but my confidence has been well and truly quelled.
