I love how he talks about the things that went against but says nothing about the 5th tackle penalty leutele milked which was absolute bullshit. They scored 6 points on the back of it.

Take your medicine idiot.

Flano should concentrate getting gal to play like a team player like last year , not how he plays for NSW and Shark previously

Every game there are calls that could go either way.

The sharks didn't earn the right to any of them. They played poorly. Missed tackles, poor handling, dumb options.

If Gallen had of taken the tackle 5 metres out, or Fifita runs straight instead of sideways at the end, we probably don't have this thread.

Two simple runs that put your team into field goal range. But no, both got it wrong when it counted.

Do you know what point of the game this photo was taken?
Yes.
If the answer is yes, do you think the tackle is complete?
I think the tackle is complete. But it was a tackle that involved the players wrapping the ball to stop gallen scoring. There's always some leniency given to the time they release in this situation.
And what is Paul Gallen trying to do from this point?
Honestly? It looks like he has just tried for the hero play when in hindsight he should have made sure he got to the right point and a quick play the ball.

He then tried to milk a penalty, but probably because of his years of trying to do this, and his reputation for it, the 50/50 went against him.

But all of that is from watching the game and seeing replays. Your photo doesn't show anything.

Sharks fans grab some pop corn the next few weeks on here will be fun.

Can't wait to return serve as other teams get screwed for the rest of the finals.

All these idiot Rooster and Eels supporters thinking they'll beat the Storm in the GF.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You know you are backing the wrong horse when Gorden Tallis comes out and defends the referees after Shane Flannagan's spray. Tallis made a rather lengthy rebuttal on Triple M's coverage after the game, but I can't find an audio clip of it. However part of what he said (which I can find a source for) which sums it up very well -

"The Sharks missed 37 tackles compared to the Cowboys 10, only completed at 62% but it was the referee that cost you the game ... don't think so," Tallis said.

Maybe i should write a list of complaints about Flanno and take them to my next press conference
Maybe you should use this time to really pull the piss out of us Sharks fans.
Telling the coach to kill himself makes you look like a Souths fan.
So come on, lift your game.

Regarding the sin bin it was the correct decision but i can understand sharks fans being annoyed because its rarely enforced.

Bj Leilua deliberately run a player off the ball last week in the ancient days of raiders still playing and the ref just gave a penalty.

Next year there has to be an effort to rub out these deliberate penalties inside the 20m and a way of doing this is with sin bins. Im not going to point fingers of who started it cough roosters cough but all teams do it now and it must be dealt with. Its in my eyes hurting the game
