Hmm, last week it looked like Raper was mimicking the Tigers high risk entertainer's style of last year - this week its tightened up and I hear a lot of feedback about Cronulla' s lack of options etc..............that was Cronulla of the early 90'es - low errors but little attcking thrust.

Find some middle ground Stu boy.

Actually i was at the surf club where there were half a dozen ex-internationals who al lasked the same question.
"why the f*ck didn't he just tackle him?"

Lucky again Mr Simmons, but, time is running out isn't it?
We all know it.

Greg Bird. Is there one other player in the NRL who has as little impact on a game than him?
Good luck to him playing first Grade - because he ain't a first grader -, but does it have to be at the Sharks?

Hey 73, i think i'm falling in love with you.
But really, Bird has had 2 good defensive weeks. That is a first for him because is is consistent. He hss ability, but will we ever see it?
I think no.
& I am a the best judge here.

Its only March theres anlong way to go we still are short on key players and upon their return i expect to win somemore games... Its better to come into from later in the season rather than early as there is no premiers in march.

You had me at 'Hey'.
The guy can obviously play football - or could play football - he was a junior Kangaroo.
But he has no IMPACT on the game.
He makes no breaks. He has no kicking game. He never links in attack. No try assists. No tries. No high tackles. No waves to the crowd... oh, hang on I think there was one.
They should make him captain - least he could toss the coin.

It was last week all over again. Looked good early, but couldn't finish em off whilst we dominated. I think we lost it with poor last tackle options. The way we sat down on their line for a fair part of the game, we should have done better. Where were the bombs and cross field kicks? Dykes' long kicking game was quite good, but close to the line he was out of ideas. I wont have a dig at Noddy, as he was playing with a groin injury. But, I'll have a dig at our management for not having anouther decent backup halfback in the club.
