Full-time 34-18.

A pretty weak and feeble effort tonight. Sadly not reflecting Raper's confidence on Channel 9 news tonight.

The team's in right in the abyss now. Is there a way out?

Not good enough in the end hey?

But my God. When will this f**king "Ref's Call" be abolished? Simpkins has no idea if Dykes scores, goes upstairs, Stone has no idea, and yet somehow it gets disallowed. All this despite the 'benefit of the doubt' law.

I GIVE UP.

Don't want to seem like a trol but I've gotta comment on the great game the the superstar Luke Covell

Covell
8 hitups for 75 metres
1 tackled 5 missed tackles
1 kick and 2 dummy half runs

Now the player he was marking tonight
Fitzhenry
15 hitups for 144 metres
9 tackles 1 missed
1 kick 9 dummy half runs
1 line break

I am quite prepared to write the 2005 Cronulla Sharks off as a genuine contender. Still should make the 8, but only making up the numbers really. Very disappointing.

Spot on, Fiz, unfortunately. At least we'll be in with a shout come September but that'll be all it is. On the plus side most of their tries came from our inability to make the one-on-one tacke with Covell being responsible for at least three. Fix that, and we'll be much better off.

Bird I thought had an OK game and I agree with the poster sho said Peachey was our best again. Stevens will be gone for the Roosters but I didn't see the Vagana one as I'd turned off in disgust (a simple precaution to ensure I didnt smash the new telly) by then - what will that be worth?

What did I tell you this morning Fizman. Our season ended tonight just like I said it would. Geez how much did we look like souths tonight. No way we'll be in the eight this year with the 17 Raper is persisting with and I'd imagine the same lot will be meandering around the field next week looking like lost cows.

The AFL forum I follow has a natty little smiley of the titanic which has been used more than once this season to describe my team's efforts. Mods can we possibly have the same to brighten the rest of the season for us poor sharkophiles....

And Fitzhenry is bagged by Tigers supporters.

Goodbye Covell, hello Nathan Merritt.

Not according to White Pointer in the NRL forum he says:

Covel is better defender than merrit so if nathan merrit played this week we would of lost by 50

and this:
Merrit is one of the worst defenders around

also this :

there is not better replacement for him. merrit is the only chance but he can only attack
