The only times we will win this season

[Northern Beaches dog]

Is when the opposition thinks they only have to turn up to win and turn up with an awful attitude like the Eels or when we have crazy amounts of luck like getting tries off kicks and intercepts.
Look at those 2 wins we had and that is all what happened.
If we face a decent team who turns up with a good attitude, we are next to no chance.
Thats just reality

 

[Shanked]

...ok.
Dont think anyone thought of us as a top 8 team. I'll take any win that we get

 

[GHs]

You must not have watched the game I thought they really tried hard a few silly mistakes but actually played well against a top 4 team.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

No it's not, we just can't play in these conditions. We simply can't play the way we played in recent weeks and we just don't have anything else, had nothing to do with luck

 

[Northern Beaches dog]

No tries off intercepts or some BS kicks, we have nothing else.
Just rode out luck the last 2 games.
Thats all that happened.

 

[Family Guy]

Too early to tell. Lets see how we go against Souths, hopefully in dry conditions

It was a little concerning that the Sharks looked likely to score every time they got in our 20 whereas we reverted back to Desball.

We need the new coach to come in and completely blow up our attack and start again

 

[bradyk]

I think the team tried pretty hard today, Sharks good defence and not the best weather. If you go through all of Casey's errors and mistakes alone that's a big reason why we lost the game. Coach also has COVID and TPJ got injured early.

Our squad is very thin at the moment, was worried about this going into this game and disgraceful turf today

We had very little in these conditions, and it would have been a different game if the ref had sat 1 or 2 of their guys down for repeated ruck infringements in the first half.

 

[Dingo]

Shut up

 

[KiwiDog7]

I think the atrocious conditions nullified is champ

Pump the brakes

 

[COVENS]

Relax guy

 

[beastwood89]

Yeah right like the conditions where great seriously. Losing tpj then the amount of errors of a player on debut then he gets knocked out. We where down to 15 players Waddell playing in the centres and Jacob on the wing. Can we be better of course but I’m proud as punch. Had RFM held that ball and scored. Who knows maybe different outcome.

 

[beastwood89]

Seems to me jac seems responsible for at least a try a game that’s becoming concerning as teams are targeting him big time with his jam in defence.

 

[Suave]

Rubbish. Yes, we scored some tries off intercepts the last 2 games but take a look at the last try vs Eels that Averillo scores, the Kiraz try against the Tigers, etc.

Don't let the emotion of a loss skew the fact that we're a much improved footy team. Conditions didnt suit us today, mixed with the fact that TPJ gets injured and we have a debut player having one of the worst debuts imaginable. We're not a top 8 team yet but a Barrett coached team loses that game vs Sharks by 30+.

 

[chemdog]

we will win titans, warriors and maybe knights can't see us winning any of the other games

 

[Bulldogs09]

Turning point was rfm dropping that ball. Plain and simple. Score that I’m confident we win. Weather today points are gold. Instead drops it sharks get down and score with Katoa. 12 point turn around. Morrins no try for a push was horse shit to. Yet they can drive burton back in goal after grounding out of goal etc two rules

 

[Howie B]

What a stupid fucking thread.

We went toe to toe with a top 4 contender. If RFM scores that try we probably win

 

[Bazildog]

I think we went ok considering the the challenges we had with Casey and no TPJ. Burton was SOO hungover as well so to lose by 12 was pretty reasonable. We get the bye and then 3 games I think we can win.

 

[ILiveForDib]

Not true at all, we’re an improved footy side and you have to be blind to not see it. We competed with a top 4 side despite the errors from debutant Casey costing us the game we were unlucky. You can’t possibly give a consensus regarding today. Most teams in the comp wouldn’t have done much better.
