I think Burton's kicking game let us down big time today, too busy trying to kick the shit out of the ball instead of looking for placement in these conditions. Hynes on the other hand kicked us to death and our backs were either getting smashed when they caught it or had to turn around and collect the ball. We had 36 kick return metres, Sharks had 170...

Some on TK are very quick on the draw.
Appoint a new coach lose the first game and the call goes out sack the coach, sack the coach, sack the coach.
OR
Win the first game, give him 10 years ar $1M
Desperation gets you on the edge. Years of abysmal footy and coach merry go rounds has your adrenaline running when we take a step foward. It’s calm not as much of a meltdown it usually is on here despite the loss, we’re making notable progress so I do see the appeal for Potter.

Didn't see the game as I had a family gathering I had to attend. Checked scores on NRL app and listened to the last 20 minutes on radio in the car.

Disappointing result and have only seen the highlights but I'm prepared to wipe this game off as while our effort couldn't be faulted we just couldn't compete in those conditions. We've never been great in wet conditions, don't know why but if we get back onto a dry track we can turn things around very quickly.

Burto's a great player but he's still too new in FG and at 5/8 to play well every game. Get's no help from Flanagan, and I know JMK is running and defending well, but his dummy half service is still shite. Hopefully today was a big lesson in wet weather footy for the whole team, but it wasn't a big step back, if we went back at all. I'd much prefer to get straight back into it rather than have a bye.

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 a bit of rain and he didn't burn up.......

Already over today...

We just need a repeat of the eels game to compete with Souths, especially how they demolished the eels tonight...

Some sharks fans are saying that Klein tried to hand the match to us. You clueless fools, he was on your payroll the whole match.
Exactly. Some people are fucking delusional and have no idea... If the 6 again rule wasnt relevant and penalties had to be given, we could have kicked 6+ penalty goals easy. I cannot believe the ref didn't stop the game and give a sin bin warning.

We had two players out through injury playing with 15 men against a top 4 team everybody is quick to criticise and throw the team under the bus the way we respond should be how we are scrutinised everyone forgets we were wooden spooners two weeks ago

And? Does that give them a free pass? I'm not upset we lost and saw this coming but i'm still going to be critical about certain things and there's nothing wrong with that.

Did I say there was? People on here starting to forget we were 2 wins from like 11 games and in wooden spoon position? Why are you so critical? I’m not making excuses for the team. the ***** on here throwing things around like burton and Addo carr are shit after one average game you ***** have no idea expecting miracles

Burton has been pretty consistent but Addo-Crap has probably produced a handful of well below par performances now. Bout time he got called out for it

Yes but a winger can only have so much ball also I love schoup but he’s a bit of a hog and dosent have much of an offload.his defence though yes has been questionable last few game
