Yep strip ruled but was just a dropped ball from a rushed play the ball. I was at that game as well.

It was a very very encouraging display from the Sharks.
If they get there completion rate to something reasonable they will be bloody hard to beat.

In the 2nd half, they looked dangerous and had good shape with Carney running the show and Best running good lines. Best was possibly best on ground and maybe a bit unlucky with the double movement.
Gibbs goes alright, Fifita looks dangerous and Bakuya could be anything.
Pomeroy was impressive as well!
Gardener is getting some stick on here but I reckon he went alright
The 1st try was pure arse so I'm not going to blame him for that.
The Sharks are a better side with Gardener in the team.

After seeing that display, it looks like we are not going to depend on GRINDING out wins like normal which is refreshing.

They didn't really deserve the end result for the effort they put in under very trying conditions.
That was not a penalty in golden point time either.

If there head is in the right spot and with a packed house next Sunday, I fancy us against the Knights.
They just have to mentally freshen up and they will deliver.
Go you SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention if we had set up for the field goal like St George do...with 3 forwards standing as a wall so that no player can actually get through to make the chargedown, he probably would have slotted it.

Difference between a team that is calm and calculated and a team that panics.

Only with exposure to these situations however will they improve.

Three Positives for me,
1. That the extra time kaffuffle happened in Round One, and they can learn from that and be better prepared for future golden point situations.

2. They competed well against a competition favourite - 3 tries a piece, and kept there composure desipte being 8 points down and committing multiple errors. That signals a very positive vibe in the team.

3. Wins in the lower grades.

Looking forward to next Sunday.

Spot on with all of those.

Plus we didn't look noticeably weaker when the bench players came on (in fact the opposite).
Some of our kicks were good (some weren't, but plenty more good ones than most of last year).
Forwards dominated Tigers forwards.
We made many line breaks, tackle busts, and looked genuinely threatening with the ball in hand.
Except vs kicks, our defense was a lot better than Tigers as well.

 

[The Popper]

I liked both Best's and Pom's displays. I think that could be partially due to TC's presence inside taking some defensive focus off them. Didn't think much of the wingers though.
Spewing at the rip off by incompetent or criminal refereeing. Could cost us big at season's end. Not as bad as 78 though where similar refereeing behaviour cost us our first premiership. Never let it rest, Popper. :crazy:

Flange hasn't been fined has he?

[Special K]

Positive - my hangover is nearly gone.

 

[spider]

as hard as it is to stomach water when your stung, put down one to two litres straight up in the morning and youll be good as gold within an hour

 

[Ausguy]

straight cordial without water... trust me

 

[spider]

straight cordial without water... trust me

not that i keep it at home, but how much do you need to drink?

 

[Ausguy]

not that i keep it at home, but how much do you need to drink?

a middy size glass... dont puss it force yourself to drink it, normally not that hard if you come home plastered.

just pray you dont throw it up as its useless then... throw 2 nurofen in aswell

 

[Special K]

Went through about 3l of water today at work but I think I left it too late. I used to buy those hydralite ice blocks which were awesome for hangovers. I've had two bad ones in a week at work.. Not good! f**ken red lion....

 

[roboshark]

And keep 000 handy

 

[Quigs]

Cure the hangover, abstain from intake of the Devils poison.

The good lord created water for all his creatures and it falls from his sky.

Have you ever seen an elephant with a hangover.

Praise be the Lord.

i didnt realise you meant before going to sleep

that would end in tears for me as i would wake up to a screaming female raspberry

 

[carcharias]

There is no hang over over cure.

A couple of beers usually takes the edge off though.
