Match Discussion: Round 22 vs Cronulla @ Venue TBC

[NoSchitSherlock]

That steal from Barnett turned it around.

 

[macavity]

can’t believe we won that.

Congrats

But u were deadset gifted that game by the NRL

Much like last week as well, gotta give some credit to the Sharks in that they turned up with a similar attitude today. It was a tense, and physical game of football.

 

[Knight Tales]

f**k that was way too close.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Barnett up there. He has stood up in the second half

He did. As mentioned, once he stopped playing Fitzgibbon.

Dunno if I would go that far, Sharks gifted plenty of dodgy 6 agains, dropped that ball and didn’t have it picked up…

Our spine is our biggest issue at the moment. They can't get it right. I don't think the gameplan is doing them any favours, either. I'm sure aqua_duck will have something to say about the style of football we're trying to play, and they'll be right too. The biggest frustration for me is that we can't seem to figure out how to bring Kalyn into the game, and that's equally on him and those around him.

Losing Dan is the biggest kick in the balls, though. Big loss.

Haha how exactly?

He's running the lines he's asked to, its not his fault the halves give him the ball too much. At least he doesn't drop it all time like fitz

 

[Jono078]

Simi Sisagi not used at all. Really hate when we don't utilise a full bench. He was purely there for cover it seems, but it's a fair disadvantage when you can't utilise an entire bench.

True.
Not blaming him personally. Hating on the structure.

It's funny though, having said all this - if we're missing one of Ponga, Pearce or Clifford in that match, we lose it. Mainly because of who would be covering for them than anything they're doing at the moment.

 

[PhilGould]

Not a big Barnett fan but he was the difference today.

Hope Dan's knee isn't too bad.

 

[Knight Tales]

Haha how exactly?

All those penalties in the first half forgotten clearly.

We won penalties/set restarts 10-8 in the end

Call me a big dumb biased fan..... But I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say that it's only like their 2nd or 3rd game as a complete spine

Also, I think the 10 day turnaround did more harm than good

 

[Apey]

We got the 2 points and we played like trash, but maybe that's the catalyst to greater things.

Oh, you. Haha.

We were far away from clinical in the second half, but we had the utmost respect for the ball. I'm not surprised that stat swung. We were switched on, we just had zero polish on anything.

Also though klem was our best prop today.

The safs bludged their way through 60 minutes and 2 good runs doesn't make it up
