Ah, in caps as well.
You must feel better now.

in reality sharks were woeful
They were made to look woeful but a more committed outfit.

Scummer excuse. We were carving them up before he left the field. In fact, they didn't get on the scoreboard until after he went off.
Go back and watch the game, if it's not too difficult for you.

and it was an against the run of play 80 metre try from Soward and 2 absolute freaky pieces of play from nightingale that won the game.
80 metres now? lol.
Soward's try and came off a forced error in the tackle. In fact, our forwards jolted the ball loose on several occasions during the match. All you saw was Soward making a line break and Nightingale finishing well - that's because you had given up on us before the season started.
I saw our smaller forward pack determined to get on top. And they did. In the final 15 minutes, the Sharks were finshed. Soward's field goal was totally uncontested, no pressure placed on him at all. It was well telegraphed in advance, everyone knew it was on. But the entire Sharks defence line just stood there, the marker stood his ground, only Fifita jogged a few steps forward in some token gesture. The scummers were just waiting for the inevitable. That's a clear sign that they had been beaten up the middle of the park.
For mine, the turning point came in about the 60th minute, it was 18-12, a close game still and the Sharks were coming back. They had the possession and field position, the momentum was with them and they were coming after us. At the time we were only six points in front and this was where the game would be won or lost. But the boys stepped up, rattled the ball carriers and forced another error. Tupou knocked-on. I thought "beauty", all we need now is to reverse the momentum a little and the match is ours. We did better when Nightingale scored his second and Soward kicked another from the sideline.
You probably saw it differently.
Go back and watch the game, if it's not too difficult for you.

Sharks on their day would have probably at least drawn level.
Haha! Whatever. I'm sure the scum enjoy your support. But again, they were getting hammered in the line.
Go back and watch the game, if it's not too difficult for you.

The 2 forward passes from dummy half should have lost us the game against a team that was on.
Wouldn't those forward passes mean that we were off our game? Make up your mind, which side were 'woeful'?

Sorry to burst your bubble willow, but as usual you are getting over excited.
Alas, your argument has been sliced and diced and farted out into the s-bend, just like the scummer forward pack last night.
You lost. I respect the pain you must be going through.
