Pre game pundits: "Burto Bombs" will be lethal today!!
Burto: "Naaa not feeling it today"

Our interim coach, the one who’s actually changed us into a competitive side in such a short time was also not there this week, that probably didn’t help either.Look at the stats and see how many tackles Kiraz and Addo-Carr had to make in comparison to Katoa and Mulitalo... We played scared and they took their chances and stretched our defence when it mattered by forcing our players to make hard defensive decisions... We just slogged it up the middle and hoped for the best. The only to E we ever shifted to edges was when Burton gave Schoupp countless hospital passes.
Very true, but If people on the couch at home can see sharks weakness, I'd be very concerned if the two who stepped in could not.Our interim coach, the one who’s actually changed us into a competitive side in such a short time was also not there this week, that probably didn’t help either.
Yeah they are good with Brailey tying up the ruck. My thinking on jmk was more our inability to play inside the opposition 20mYou reckon Sharks are susceptible to a dummy half dive over try? I think their team has more discipline around the ruck
Gotta learn to walk before you can crawl. Cronulla are a top 4 team with one of the best defences in the comp. We chose to play a safer brand of wet weather footy snd I’d a few things had gone out way, we might have walked away with the W. We also had Casey on one wing. Had we tried to play more expansively we might have lost by 30.Look at the stats and see how many tackles Kiraz and Addo-Carr had to make in comparison to Katoa and Mulitalo...

A few things go our way we could of won that. While I’d rather win I’m ok with that we gave them a good run for there money. Casey had a terrible debut, rfm drops it over tryline coach not there with Covid, flooded field we were 100000 times better than we were whey Baz was coachWe tried hard and never gave up. Always a hard ask to beat a top 4 side, and in those conditions which nullified our attack which is speed based, against a bigger pack (especially when TPJ went off early), it always was going to be an uphill battle.
Vaughan got driven back every fkn timeWaddles and RFM only ones to get 100m+.....
Putrid
I don't think his career is over after 1 game, when he was coming off the bench he went ok, just one of those days, he'll come good like Avo.100% killed us and his career
Few months ago we would’ve collapsed early and leaked 30+ and that’s without the 12 Casey basically let in. People just see a loss and look for anything they can knit pick at. Nothing changed today, there was no major drop in performance and Potter having covid sure didn’t help the cause. After the bye south’s,titans and knights I tip us winning all three.Yeah we lost, but that was still a way better effort than this team would have put in a few months ago. Klein thought the sharts where NSW and let them slow the ruck to absolute zero compounded by some crucial errors by a kid on debut, hope he’s ok after the knock but at least he won’t remember that game. No panic for mine.
Oh my!! :biggrin:Shut your mouth fuckwit
He should have been, but our stand in fraud coaches were too scared because of the shit JD copped when he hooked Ilias in the first halfDeclan Casey should have been hooked way before he got hurt.
I'm starting to think that there is a problem with Shoupe, since the Parramatta game when the Fox scored of a try of a kick in goal getting there just before Shoupe, I noticed it caused some resentment in Shoupe on the day, since then he does not get the ball out to the Fox, he either takes up himself or runs in field away from the fox it showed in the Balmain game When Shoupe scored the try he had the Fox in support but would not give him the ball & he only just scored the try because fox impeded the Parramatta player who would have run down Shoupe who was running at full pelt.Gotta try, Cronulla chanced their hand with open expansive play to their wingers to score in wet conditions. We played conservatively without any clear direction from our spine ... With all the errors Sharks were making, I was surprised we didn't try be a little risky or expansive when given the chance.
They shouldn't give a flying f@ck what the media say & do, it would have been good for Declan to get hooked, as it would be a learning curve for him. Hope he isn't shattered about his game today.He should have been, but our stand in fraud coaches were too scared because of the shit JD copped when he hooked Ilias in the first half
This was meant to be to Brendan's at least Lara Pitt is hot post. Don't rate her hey
