So I ventured out with my four year old son today to Suncorp for his first ever Sharks game. Here are some thoughts from the ground, without having a chance to watch replays etc….
1. Not game day related but a great family vibe for the day. Lots of fans of every team wandering around Brisbane and surrounding Suncorp. Would advise people to travel up. Glad we were playing an arvo game on a non Bronco day. It also helped that most teams playing today have a history of disappointment, made it easy to have a commiseration laugh those around.
2. That sun that Katoa was looking into was wicked bright. Horrible. By halftime it had f**ked off so the kicking to that corner would have been pointless. He looked shocked at how bad he was playing first half but second half ylu. Priced now committed because was trying to make up for it.
3. We kept hitting the front player way too much all game. We’d go left and always hit the back rower for a crash ball when we had them stripped wider. Personally I think we should be hitting the crash ball AFTER the out the back ball keeps getting shut down.
4. We lost because of execution not effort at least. Although our heads seemed elsewhere some plays.
5. Zero players trailing in back up. It’s so notecable at the game when Tieg is looking to offload and there is no one around. Or we offload to another forward who hits it up another 5 metres.
6. lots of sharks fans. We need to convert them to members however the interstate membership options are poor. I had a family one until this year and they didn’t even offer it this year. Don’t want to shell out for my wife and 18 month old daughter to be members when they will get nothing out of it.
7. The amount of times Trindall kills overlaps is frustrating to watch. She’s back into numbers and gets caught every time. He’s trying too hard almost.
8. Would love to blame the ref for that first half but we had a massive rub of green at times and just couldn’t convert. We lost to a team that defended very well.
9. We can’t stop an offload.
sucks to be us this week, not panic stations but can’t play like that again.
