I don't want to hang **** on Trindall, it was a tough situation to be in. Terrible forwards, inexperienced halves pairing, only getting to play against 12 men for 25'ish minutes...

He's young, but there's some fundamental issues he needs to address. Maybe he can. But Tracey had to take over in that second half, and he shouldn't have to. Trindall's confidence looked utterly beaten out of him, and you don't want to see that in a player regardless of how they're playing. The pressure looked too much and he just stopped competing. I don't think he ran the ball in the second half. Tracey was so-so, but still plugging away, which is what we were all praising Trindall for the week before.

I just don't know...

Why the **** did they bring on Fatfita when we needed speed.
Got me ****ed not good enough to play for the Jets

Good thing we kept him around because how much he inspires all our players.
Got stripped by a half
If he can’t run because his knee is ducked but still wants his huge pay the least he can do is hold the ball

I am merely basing it on what we saw today. Trindall did **** all. He didn't move the team around at all, made poor plays. Throwing Hynes in next to him doesn't seem like it will work. Need someone with experience that can direct play.

We had that...

there were other facets of our game that let us down.

to single out one player would be wrong

silly mistakes from across the positions.

Have no idea what you mean by this.

How is it the NRLs fault if there are loose carries and offloads???????
Think he was talking about the one on Katoa be honest on replay thought it come off katoa then overside line afte red a pass backwards (unpopular opinion I know)

I’m more annoyed I was looking forward to the next two games tonight, whilst we sat inside the 8. Now I’m scrolling through Netflix…

EASILY , the WORST Performance I have ever seen from a Sharks coach and team

We’ve lost 74-4 and that’s the worst performance you’ve seen. That’ll do me

That game the Ref was atrocious and we went down to 11 men
I wasn't disappointed with the effort that game

At least played fired up

Today we brought ZERO passion , determination or application of footy smarts in a must win game to try make the semi finals
VERY disappointing effort ( if you can even call it effort )
I stand by my comment as to what we dished up today lacked ALL of the above requirements .

The game we lost by that margin

Bottom line

Our forwards are too small and don't offload.

We allow the opposition to offload foar too much

Defence is crap

Our backs are too slow

Our halves are crap

We don't have a game breaker

We have been carved all year from the opposition fullback's.

Walsh, Turbo, Savage, Ponga. We just dont have it.

But apart from that we are looking good!
