Round 17 v Sharks - Game Day Thread

[Bigfella]

How good will we be with two kickers on the field.

Will that help us stop getting slaughtered in the ruck?

We did good.

They have more to play for than us in light of all the shit.

We are not too far off.

We lost the ruck by a lot and still nearly won. Part of it is psychological too

French scored three tries probably no other player in our club would have scored

And merkins want him to play centre, because apparently being able to pass is more important than being able to tackle. Ryan Morgan is a better centre than Radradra and he threw zero passes last night.

when your forwards have lost the ground, what do you expect? Even pou would've seen that

 

[Stagger eel]

Great effort by the boys ... The NRL got what they wanted

 

[Avenger]

Lol.

Let's blame semi.

You can be as diplomatic as you like he should not have played.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So two tries in the second half came from a forward pass/incorrect play the ball and a dropped ball..,,

 

[Chipmunk]

A game we could've really won but didn't.

We were pretty poor in alot of areas, but we're looking at 2017 and our opponents are building for a Premiership shot this season.

We will win a few more games this year.

 

[Bazal]

Ultimately, we blew an 18 point lead by not defending running plays on the last. Everything else aside, that's unforgivable. It was a great effort to hang in there, and we had some shocking calls, but we should have won after the start we had.

They controlled the game beautifully

Agreed.

 

[Avenger]

We were great. If Foran plays in this game we win.

 

[phantom eel]

We were great. If Foran plays in this game we win.

at one stage we had

2. French
3. Gutha
6. KE
and

Teps, Peni, Gower and O'Brien

on

 

[eels_fan]

Key moments:

Gutho dropped the certain try off the French pass
Cronulla scoring off 2 forward passes/knock on's in the
Cronulla scoring off Fifita's knock on
Cronulla scoring off a blantant forward pass

So pretty much we should have won by 6-8

 

[Avenger]

Never said he wasn't a good player just a mindf**k.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Manu ordinary and on way to rooters....

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Anyhow, it was a great effort by the side. Very proud of them.

This is a seriously good side, to even compete against the Comp leaders with what has happen over the last week and then last 3 months plus all our injuries is a bloody good effort !!

2017 is going to be good year for us.

 

[Snoochies]

Didn't see the game. Who lost it for us, Parra or the refs?

 

[Noise]

Was madness how long Scott was off for.

 

[Bigfella]

You can be as diplomatic as you like he should not have played.

You can be as brain dead as you like about finding a scapegoat to assuage your fragile ego and insecurities.

We didn't lose that game because our left winger had a quiet game.

ps I'm not sure why you would accuse me of being diplomatic.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So our we edges leaked a few tries, which side was KE on? Was it his side ? Very hard for a forward to defend in the halves
