Round 20 vs Lewis & Friends

[Pomoz]

We bashed ya up the guts hey.
Anyway, good luck in the finals.

Can't argue with that summation. We can't complain about the refs, there weren't that many penalties. You were better on the day. You wouldn't be near the bottom if you played with that energy all season.

Many fans say that coaches and back office stuff is not important, its all about the players. Newcastle and Cronulla have proven this year that is not the case. Both teams could be finals contenders without the drama surrounding their clubs and coaches. This competition is so even, the bottom team can beat the best team if they are off their game a bit or the bounce of the ball just doesn't go their way. Tipsters nightmare!

Just on Idris, I think he is a bit flat because he is only just getting back into full fitness. The first two games he was good and he was coming back after some rest. Now he has been training and playing for a few weeks, I think he is a bit down on energy. He is a big geezer so it takes time for him to get up to full match fitness. I think he is going to come back to his best in the next few weeks.

Surely Grant isn't playing that bad that he can't crack a first grade spot. In years gone by he was always one of our best and looked like a future captain of the club. His fall from grace this year has been unbelievable.

It's not his playing form that's keeping him out of NRL.

 

[Big Mick]

He's been ordinary in NSW Cup.

It's both form and coaching atm keeping him out.

We got a string of them late in the first half, which certainly helped us get back in the game.

I don't recall getting a penalty in the second half, the Sharks got two in the latter stages.

I don't know the penalty count but it would have been close and maybe slightly our way. The refs had a good game.

 

[Sime_11]

remember we did come pretty close to scoring with a couple of minutes to go, had that happened, we may have/probably would have gone on to win the game.

 

[betcats]

Another dissapointing performance. We looked soft through the middle defensively, will need to be much better to compete with the dogs.

 

[martielang]

Has to be the worst defensive game i've seen Whare have. Missed plenty of tackles in the Sharks half which put us on the back foot.

Absolutely no doubt in my mind we miss Simmons. Yet the same people will deny it.

We should have countered that in the 2nd half by having Carty and Idris running wide.

Problem is,our attack is and has been stifled with very slow service to the backline.

How many games has it been when just two passes from the dummy 1/2 and the defense is all over us like the Ebola Virus.

Each game from now on is going to be like playing a semi-final.

We have to approach each game as though it's do or die.

But at the same time,it's still a lot of fun being in the top 4.

Do you honestly think he can say

'Go f**k yourself. I wanted to play 2 weeks ago but you wouldn't let me' or however it went. Yet play 1st grade?

No chance. So of course his form's down. We should of let him go mid season.

I realise this is all rumour, but if he did react like this then he has gone down severely in my estimation as an immature, egotistical idiot. A team has no room for that type of selfish behaviour.

I hope you are wrong and his form is bad, because, well, he just isn't playing well. That can happen, just ask Sika and Sam.

Our attack has suffered because we have had Wallace out midway through games on two occasions and his replacement (Peachey) out on the another. This is reaching curse like proportions. Will Smith might pull a sickie if he is called up, poor bugger.

The attack was starting to come together nicely as Peachey started to run into form and Moylan was chiming in at the back. It has all turned to custard as injuries have taken out key players. If Will Smith can handle the step up, I'm sure we will improve once he gets familiar with the team structures.

Form doesn't exist for props. You are either putting in or not, it's all about effort and nothing else.

Don't forget we had Soward out half the game against the Warriors also.
