Major tactical error today cost us.

[wittyfan]

Hampstead should be dropped over the Withers try. He was appaling with a capital A.

I'm praying that Kimmorley and Peachey are back this week to get our finals campaign back on track. Today was well below the standard for a Top 8 side.

 

[30 Year Sharkie]

Beeker's pretty much spot on. I should imagine our forwards are gutted at the ineptitude of most of the backs today. I found myself cheering Ise on the TV - didnt think I'd be saying that at the start of the season.

 

[beekershark]

It was a trend all weekend , leaning towards the teams placed higher on the ladder.

and 30year shark, no other team has a player like aitken on the bench "jsut incase" a half gets hurt, so we dont need to either.

 

[incredible_holc]

jeeez beeker a bit leanient, from your ratings sounds like we beat them by 30

 

[30 Year Sharkie]

Beeker its been a trend all season. When were the rorters last on the wrong end of a bad call? certainly not on Friday night :evil:

 

[incredible_holc]

our best players were bailey and isemonger

 

[Macca]

Bailey? He spilled the ball, gave away penalties. I wouldn't say he was one of the best. Created a few things today, but still has a discipline problem.

 

[Special K]

I agree Holc.

Bailey was great. He played with so much passion(pointing at the sharks logo at the dragons players and his fellow team mates), throwing good balls and good in defence.

Zeus however must have been our man of the match. Every time he touched the ball the Dragons were in two minds. Sign the bloke for life!

Pretty much spot on Beeks with your wrap on the players performance.

Take those couple of brain explosions out of Merrits game though and you'd give the guy a wrap. He did look dangerous many times today. Next year he may go well I reckon.

Question: since when has Stevo been a halfback who takes the ball to the line before passing?

f**k. How many hitups did he actually complete? I can barely remember him hitting the line all game.

 

[beekershark]

True enough 30sharky, true enough.

 

[SirShire]

Gallen was not one of our best. HE blew a try and coughed the ball uop a number of times.

Merritt :arrow:

Hilder waas solid, but quiet, Lomu and Beats were good. Goldy was great, Vags is just plain ordinarey.

 

[Macca]

Vags improved slightly today, he was having a go early on, has a long way to go. Bickerstaff might have been injured but he shouldn't have been in the side to start with.

Merrit . . . . . goodbye!

 

[chili pepper]

How good was Beattie? Best game for 3 years. Only made 1 dumb mistake (flick pass to Sully after he SMASHED Withers) which is a revelation for him. Geez some Stains forwards will be in pain tomorrow.

 

[30 Year Sharkie]

Have to agree with Chili .. there was talk about Beattie going to the raiders next year. Is this happening?

 

[Macca]

He signed with Newcastle apparently

 

[Dr. Funkenstein]

i thought vagana played well today, alot more involved, great defence, his attack was alright still looks like he is injured or somthing because his hes no where that attacking player he was last year.

 

[Generalzod]

I love the Sharks, but I think its time to bite the bullit and admit we are never going to win a comp with our current crop of players...

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Beattie does what he does.
He hurtzz caaarrrnnntts!
Cant believe we are not giving him another spin.

& on the Stevo tactic, I like it. You could see everytime that they were compressing & sending shooters at him. it almost came off on about 6 different occassions with huge holes opening up outside him.
great tactic!

You're forgetting our best player has been missing for six games now. ;-)
