Very confident we'll win tonight, just hope the boys play well.

Doesnt stop me going and whilst I can handle it, my four year old doesnt like sitting in the rain and constantly asks if we can go home. So if ya wanna rag out a 4 y/o please continue big man.

I hope you enjoy watching your team get smashed tonight.

Peter Sterling's Late Mail: Paul Gallen travelled to Brisbane with the squad in a bid to make an early return from a calf injury, but was reportedly ruled out by the Sharks on Friday morning.

Hoffman still can't quite get that Karmichael play to work right...

Now when Hunt inevitably realises that A) AFL is garbage, B) he is garbage at AFL, he will have lost a little weight, picked up a little agility and be ready to come back to the broncs in the number 6 jersey... Surely they don't see a legitimate long term number 6 in our pack at the moment...

f**k no

I hear ya. It's bad enough we never get any Sunday arvo games, but add some wet weather to a Friday night and the whole event becomes very unkid-friendly. SCREW YOU CHANNEL 9 :x

Wouldn't it be great if we got Saturday arvo footy back...

No way would the club be interested in taking cutie back. I was/am a huge fan of his but there is no place for him at the club anymore.

 

[druncle]

Wouldn't it be great if we got Saturday arvo footy back miss the saturday with peter jackson was the best game all week

 

[user_nat]

3. Hodges - 3 tries
2. Hannant - ran over 200m and got a try
1. Parker - as a member of his fan club he always gets a point

 

[Big Pete]

3. Ben Hannant
2. Darren Lockyer
1. Justin Hodges

Special mentions: Josh Hoffman, Jharal Yow Yeh, Peter Wallace, Andrew McCullough, Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker, Matt Gillett and Josh McGuire.

Even though we won by plenty I don't exactly feel confident that we can match it with the top sides if we play like this. Sharks scored almost everytime they got an opportunity and a number of our tries were off pitiful defence. Hate to sound negative and all...

The biggest plus out of this game was Hodges striding out. McCullough has been going pretty well the last month but Ben Hunt still doesn't add much. Gillett had a good game.

I've noticed this season that Hoffman's positional play is pretty poor. He is a great runner of the ball though.

 

[AuDragon]

No real standout, most players were good despite taking a snooze in the second half.

3- Hodgo
2- Macca
1- Thaiday

Honorable mentions to Hannant, Gillett, Locky, Wallace, Hoffman, Glenn and Parker.
Beter game from Reed, little involvement from Yow Yeh, some improvement from Reed and the best performance from Beale on the wing. Wish he had a step on him with all that blistering speed...

The other forwards did the job required, but really only get little minutes with the likes of Thaiday, Hannant, Parker, Glenn and Gillett hogging the minutes.

 

[AceAv]

Man 30 points f/a only!! I was hoping for a lot more...

It was like playing a poker game in the 1st 35 mins where you just keep getting KK, AA, AK, QQ making straights, flushes and sucking ppl out with pocket 3's!

I think the broncs played very well but were a little relaxed in defense given they had such a lead? Griff will slap that outta them!

Who to pick tonight!?

I say:

3. Hannant
2. Hoffman
1. Mcollough

Macca has really stepped up lately! Hunt looked a little crisper tonight at 5/8 who knows though... Beale also showed some decent class but let himself down flirting hard with the sideline 2x...He's definately better then 'Costly' even if he is a little slower.

I am confident the Warriors game could be ours nextweek. I'm paranoid for a repeat of last years game at Suncorp where we lost like 4-5 star players to injury and slumped our season open...

 

[cornerposter]

That game leaves me feeling flat. Maybe I'm just on the rag, 'cause even the Mexican wave gave me the shits last night. I'll go:

2. Hodges
2. Hannant
1. Gillette
1. Thaiday

^^^THIS^^^

Great win ......but

3. Hodges
2. McCullogh
1. Hannant

Parker, Thaiday, Glenn, Lockyer and Wallace get special mentions

Gillett was solid

Beale a bit more pro-active in attack.......played well.

Happy to keep the same team, although I'd like to add Teo in there somewhere when fit

I've noticed this season that Hoffman's positional play is pretty poor. He is a great runner of the ball though.

Agree. I also think he needs to put the step away and develop more of a swerve. His step's a good one, but he just uses so much he constantly steps into tacklers.

 

[jaycee_17th]

I'm feeling a little bit flat about this win as well. I've got the feeling that the Sharkies were just too atrocious and were just playing well under our skin.

3. Hodges
2. Lockyer
1. Macca

 

[Snappy]

Good team performance, although hard to know how if it was just that the opposition was that bad. We were making metres with ease and were gifted field position. Disappointing to let in three trys, but I guess commitment to defence suffers a bit when you have such a huge lead.

I was at the game and whilst it was a try fest, it was the least enjoyable game ive been to this year, as it was just not a contest. And yes, the wave was annoying. People trying to keep it going for like 10 minutes.

Really looking forward tothe Warriors next week. Vital game for us and will be tough to win. We need to keep eqaul points with the cows going into that game in the following week.

[Seagullsrock]

Hodges had some absolute shockers in defence in the 2nd half. His effort on Pomeroy was worse than the Sharks defence in the first half.

 

[Seagullsrock]

Just had a glance at the stats. Missed 5. That's shocking for a centre particularly for one that didn't have to do much work.
