Totally ripped off

[Johnnny2233]

It’s shark park the refs get paid I have never seen try’s been confirmed so quickly and ours looked at so much it’s just crap

 

[Alan79]

Refs are likely to be against us all year. There's nothing new there. We just need to be better. Hard to hold out against bigger packs and biased/corrupt refs. I only heard it on the radio, but sounded like they got a million repeat sets. We did well to keep it level as long as we did. Hopefully it steels us early in the season and we come home strong.

 

[Johnnny2233]

Kikau played like a absolute legend and critta the edges wings the boys deserved to win that game the calls just didn’t go our way

RIPPED OFF !!!

 

[Chris Harding]

I agree, they are a very well drilled team. And yes, our forwards could not match them for the full 80, so we need to add some starch, but we know that. Our backs had to do a ridiculous amount of work to compensate, which sapped them as well.

But we need to be more clinical in attack when we have good ball, that first half should have ended with us 18-6 up, but lack of execution cost us.

At the end of the day we are still averaging 4 conceeded tries a game, the same as last year. So improvement is yet to be seen on the scoreboard, I think we were performing to a similar level in defence early last year, before the effort levels dropped off. Mahoney was a prime example of that.

Burton could stop those useless bombs on the fifth, and we need to make better use of the ball in our hands.

It's still not getting out to Crichton enough.

Yep!

Someone name one time Burton put someone through a hole outside of 2nd phase play, I'll wait...

We looked competitive for team that is still finding its way.

Up against two top sides at their home grounds. They were bigger units, well drilled, who have played together for some time.

Last year, we would have conceded 40+ in both games.

We'll get there. I don't know what some fans expect.

I think we can win some games as the team settles into its stride.

I disagree Chris sorry man, watch the begging of last year we looked ok also and won a few games. I hate when I hear last year it would have been 40+… how do we know that. How do we know in a few games this team won’t concede 40+…. Mediocre is just accepted with dogs fans these days and it’s embarrassing. These guys are all first grade players… no such thing as gelling! It’s just excuses to avoid the hard questions coaches use. Every team plays a similar system…

 

[Johnnny2233]

Fully agree dude when that back line clicks and it will be dangerous Tracey does need to be full back though

We each have our own view of the team. I see a need for improvement, but I'm more confident this season than last season.

I was trying to remember what that penalty was for. He was looking at the ball for most of that. When Ramien goes looking for the ball but takes his eyes off and takes out Taafe, no penalty.

Don't you just love a loophole? That's akin to the shoulder charge rule, whereby as long as there's separation (whatever the fuck that means?) then she's fair game.

 

[Roger the alien]

wasn't a knock on from mulitalo, the kick from talakai is questionable but it is within the rules sadly

I think we can all disagree with the rule on this one, no way in hell can anyone say he was actually trying for a drop goal. Clear knock on imo

 

[Johnnny2233]

I’m a lot more confident aswell they played good

I honestly hate the rule, it should be removed from the game

 

[EL Hefe]

The media will label this as magnificent and clinical victorious victory by the Sharks.... Gawk gawk slurp... Oh nicho....

 

[James zac]

If bullfrog was still around we’d get the calls otherwise he’d be straight on the phone up their arses in Phillip street I miss bullfrog

Another week of 50 50z going the other way..

 

[KLil]

We used the sapped energy excuse last week. We had ample ball in the first half to put more points on. Should have been well ahead by the 60th minute mark.

I agree.. we definitely lacked that killer blow today.

 

[Alan79]

We each have our own view of the team. I see a need for improvement, but I'm more confident this season than last season.

If we can get our edges firing and well timed support from the centre/wing we'll score plenty. I'm also more confident. It's still going to be a rollercoaster ride I think.

 

[Scoooby]

I think the turning point was Good Friday when we were robbed against Souths. Ever since then we haven’t been the same

Or that. Either way every argument is valid hahahaha, anyway we suck an the repair will never happen with all the shit coaches whom can’t a seem to make a team gel, nrl is just a punters place now, hence why I’m still putting up with this corruption we watch.at least if we lose I still win my bets
