The game is on today or something. Sharks or someone.

RL at the NRL level is currently unhealthy. Thats the second game this weekend that was almost unwatchable. Tigers v Broncos was the other. It is like watching Union 10 years ago (which was the last time I watched Union because it was rank).

According to the commentators In the past 20 years only 9 teams have gone on to make the semis after being 0 & 3. The last being when the Cowboys won the comp.

We are garbage. I’m hoping for Arthur’s sake interest rates don’t rise too high as he will be unemployed this time next year.

Why do we keep getting Brandy on commentary?
Ennis tonight was loving the Sharks the other week we had Kimmorley who also hates us...

I doubt the result would have been different even if we didn’t have injuries. We are sorely lacking in discipline and creativity. Attack has been an issue since 2015.

Well attack was just as much an issue for the Sharks. They kicked four penalty goals.

I think it's more likely that it was just an abysmal game that played into the hands of the Sharks. Attitude in defence was good, attack was clunky for both sides and I certainly wouldn't be using it as an advertisement for the sport. Awful game

Our attack is non existent, we look like 13 blokes thrown together a week ago what the f**k has happened honestly, something looks so off right now.

I would say there is a cause for concern honestly how can we be 0-3 and not worried? lol

We need to get another attacking forward into the team. Hopefully Vae and Williams are ready soon.

Getting an even share of possession will help too. We need to be as disciplined as all the other teams.

No team can win a match with only 39%. Not saying that it’s just penalties, bc we are guilty of turning it over.

I reckon it’s time to Kaysa a go. We need some spark around the ruck. Agree with forwards, we have bend the line and find some second phase.

Penalties killed us tonight and agst Penrith.
We scored the same tries as the opposition and they get kicks from in front, didn't see the same given for similar offices but that's what happens .

We trained differently with an emphasis on running by all accounts this off season.

Our body shape,looks different to other teams and we can't control in the ruck, maybe not enough emphasis on strength. Certainly not enough on structure in attack , that's for sure

The Sharks have scored more than 4 points in the last 200 min. Also they had their main half in Moylan out tonight. We have had talented attacking players in French, Hayne, Jennings, Norman, Moses yet are completely impotent. I just don’t get it.

I counted four times tonight Norman got the ball sweeping left at pace and not a single merkin was with him.

But Norman is terrible? Do people watch footy? Where the f**k were the blokes around him? The same happened a couple of times on the other side with Moses.

I'm willing to put it down to miserable conditions after one game but it's not a great look when your halves are getting the ball in good position and no merkin wants it.

We need to take the kick even if we're behind by more than six. Getting back to a six point margin would have changed the Sharks' mentality. It would have made them less comfortable.
