Cam we relocate.
Is there a wet market comp?

The NRL is too hard for these poor soft ones.

So much talent - but keystone cops.
So disorganised.
So many errors.
So many dumb plays.

Morris has to make some tough calls if he wants to do anything in this comp.

Chad was cooked after we won the GF. Has no speed. His bombs are amateur hour and he plays sideways because he knows he troubles noone.

Johnson is hype. Nothing more. They can never be sent out together again. Connor Tracey has to come in.

All our worst footy is played when sharon woods is on the park. We are 10 in front and he has goes off. We get in front and he comes back on. Game over.

Ronaldo is our fullback. Can catch and is a handful every time he runs. Moylan.is the enigma. He has to play but where.
I like him at fullback coming around to make the extra man but ronaldo was SOO under 20s fullback for Qld and is the future there.

We win nothing with Kennedy there. Nothing.
He is 5 from 5.
In the red.

Preasure on the back 3...

Our guys had nightmares all game thinking about them bombs that were coming. Hangin. Landing just as the chaser arrived.

Ours?
Chad just drops his head and kicks it. He has absolutely no idea how deep it will land. He doesnt judge it it. Has no natural feel for kicking.

And johnson....
Laughable.
Embarrassing.
Incredible how this guy talks up such a game. Has sooo much talent in a hybrid game and so ineffective in this one.
This is his last contract in the NRL.

Super league awaits. Surely nobody pays this poor bum to do what he does ever again.

“Hahahahahahaha, bring in Tracey & Tindall as our halves?? Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!”

Yeah kaaarnt. Bring em’ in. Johnson & Hair have earned a lengthy rest. Feet up boys! Have a watch and a big, long relax. Hear that?? That’s your media career calling you into the light. Beam them up Scotty.

Chad goes to market to get a kick ass deal.
Chad stays at sharks after getting a kick ass deal from the sharks.
Sharks get ass kicked by deal.
And so it goes on

Trindalls kicking game is a shitload better than Chads and I’m more impressed with my turds after having Metamucil 3 times a day than I’m with having soft core porno as our 5/8.

Watching NQL and then the Sharks game - made me realise what a loss Holmes was for us- even his goal kicking and try assists would put SJ to shame!
How come SJ & CT are so upbeat in their media interviews and Podcasts? They shouldn’t have time for that distraction because they’re working so hard on how to improve their totally balls game.
These two would be telling us how much they loved “The Last Dance” but won’t have learned from it (other than try to have some merchandise in their brand).
They call themselves professional athletes but aren’t a hard spec in Michael Jordan’s shit.

Tough calls need to be made but do we have the coach that can make these tough calls?

I say no.

Tracey and Trindall should be thrown straight in and I’d have SJ as our utility. Uele needs to start and Toby I believe is more effective off the bench. Ramien doesn’t see any ball. We only seem to play attacking footy on the left? Pretty easy to defend against because we are so predictable.

We only play attacking footy on the left when Wade plays. If he is out the left has nothing.

The right edge is not working because Ramien's game does not mesh with Johnson. Johnson goes to the line looking to put someone through a hole (short or long). Ramien wants early ball to wind up and trample his opponent. Ramien doesn't hit holes. Nikora works better with Johnson because he is a hole runner.

The other issue is that with Kennedy at fullback we aren't getting enough out the back to create doubt.

The middle sux because Woods and Jack are slow and drop ball. Rudolf plays with energy and intensity. BHU is good and does his job. Who knows how Fifita will go. He has been a warrior but it's hard to know how his body will cope with faster pace.

Lots of issues for Morris. He needs to work out very quickly where this team is going. The squad needs an overhaul and he has been hamstrung by long contracts for underperformers and the cap fine.

You make some very valid points wep in regards to Williams, Ramien and Johnson. The truth of the matter is if it probably won't ever work.

The season has been trimmed and the game is moving forward(literally). We need to combat these changes the game has made or otherwise we will be left behind and left to look pretty stupid. Gone are the days where halves can play with structure. This is one of the reasons which makes me very concerned with Chad. We need off the cuff halves that can play off some forward momentum. This should be SJ's bread and butter but so far it hasn't looked that way.

I look at our team and I don't see any players that can break the game open from inside our half. In this day and age unless you have a great forward pack with halves that don't need structure, we could be in a world of trouble in the next few weeks if we don't introduce someone like Trindall.

Morris has said that he is sick of the Sharks being called grinding and dour and wants to play with more flair. This is fine if it is effective but we tend to play too sideways and the good sides in the new rules are playing direct with power and speed. Watching Easts rip the Broncs with hard straight running forwards really showed up the plodders in our pack like Woods and Williams.

Fittler was quoted during the week saying the Sharks were immature and just need to follow Wade. I couldn't agree more. Experienced players looking for short cuts like milking penalties and not making the effort to close holes is extremely annoying and points to an attitudinal issue.

The Sharks has a fair bit of talent but I strongly doubt they have the required ruthlessness to succeed. Of the so called leaders in the club, only Wade is playing at anywhere near elite level. Too many others are coasting.

Can Morris lead a rebuild? Hard to know. Is there someone better for the job? Probably. I would love for Morris to succeed as he seems like a genuine bloke who is well trained and has had success at junior levels.

I like Morris as a bloke and hope he makes it - Seems genuine.
but for mind he ain’t a tough enough hombre to really tear someone to bits.
Example is Woods - imagine him under Bellamy. Ouch.
Most like Morris don’t ever get there in the end unfortunately
 

Frenzy.

He has no choice. The team is TOTALLY unbalanced for 2020 V'Landys' ball. I'm enjoying the footy with the extra speed and re-emergence of the little dudes. The good ones at least.

I don't think anyone can do better as coach TBH. The squad is outdated. Props too big and too slow. Lock plays like a remnant from when the lock became third prop - not that well either. Hooker not chancing his arm enough. No offensive speed from the pigs. No room for the backs.

Kneefita will be a liability when he returns. Woods, who I have never been down on like most, is too clunky for this modern stuff. TPP is the only mobile big man. Rudy is a ball of energy.

Teams really have to play the middle with speed under the new rules. Our forwards have become relics of a bygone era very quickly.

Too bad about the salary cap woes. Going to be a difficult rebuild.

Xerri should be sacked.

if Xerri gets cleared with a clean b sample next week. How long till we pick him??
Does it matter if the outside men keep getting zero room from a dominated Slow forward pack??

Who is calling the shots on the field??
Chad, SJ? Who?
I know someone who actually got to watch the game live at WankBest, I will not say how or where. He told me that without the crowd you can hear every single word being said. Problem was that he hardly heard the Sharks at all, no one was a talking. The Tigers were all noise the whole game. The Sharks had the occasional play going ahead
Major fault factor
