Dont look at the defense holding the sharks to 12
The sharks were missing Hynes who is the main clog in there attack.
He is there MAIN player in attack.
Our attack is absolutely trash.
The left edge is EXACTLY the same as last season.
Burton has NOT improved at all. He has zero creativity.
We cannot create.
Our middles are very very poor.
We are badly under strength in the middle.
Ciraldo will be under pressure by round 10
100% agree, writing is on the wall for him

Messy , scrappy , disjointed. Nothing like the team we saw last week !! Full of mistakes, my man Taaffe had a shocker, Xeeri didn’t play any better either, in fact was a complete change from how they played last week.
Was a shocker alright. Not good for anytime mate, haha.

Sharks have some big bodies in their team. Fullback and halfback are our issues to sort

I know it's not really a big issue but I can't understand how "downtown" penalties are taken from where the ball was kicked, yet at the end there a cronulla player gets penalised for being offside (in front of kicker) when papalaii got put under pressure, and our penalty was given from where papalaii got touched... has to be downtown right??
Will cause plenty of controversy through the season, just like the high tackle sin bin, obstruction penalties of the past few seasons

Sharks relying on Hynes is a horrible take lol

What was more awful was his performance. Smiling and joking around with critta on the sideline is a slap to the fucking face. He should be hanging his head in shame
F**** off, they all had a bad game, I love Taaffe and rate him an that’s no secret, yes he has a bad game, it’s a trial and I’m glad they had a joke on the sideline, builds team morale and Critta was pretty much letting him know not to let it get to him, rather he get his mistakes out now than season proper !!!!

Sorry to break it to you guys yeah we were good defensively. BUT just wait until around rounds 10-12 when our players cbf tackling and scrambling like fuck and than we go back to the same blow outs as last year. Maybe I’m overreacting over a trial in shitty conditions but that’s just what I assume will happen.

Defence was meh to okay, hard to judge vs a team without their main man

Everything with the ball was absolutely awful and genuinely concerning
