I can't remember Hannay having a whinge about the refs but he was livid in the presser tonight, and I can't blame him.
He also spoke about the effort put in by the boys and said that there wouldn't be a Sharks supporter that would be disappointed with how hard the boys tried tonight.
Yet what I see on Facebook comments is a bunch of plebs saying that it was a weak performance and that the players don't care etc. Bunch of Face****s IMO.
Dropped balls, no playmaking. There was effort but we're a long way behind the 8
I felt for Hannay & the boys after listening to his press conference, he seemed absolutely livid on the refereeing performance & I don't blame him, a lot of people were I'm sure. Reading a lot of general comments on FB regarding the game, a lot of neutral fans were saying the same thing as us, being robbed of the game numerous times & saying the refereeing against us was terrible. It also feels like Ponga is a protected species in the game haha.
gutted for the team tho.
can't believe that we were robbed though, we need to create our opportunities and take advantage.
Amazing that the NRL match report quotes O’Brien’s comments but not Hannays.
As I've stated earlier, how often do you see a player being pushed back a few metres into the in goal but being called held as soon as we put hands on him then being penalised for that? Get another soft penalty later & they get the 2 points & thats what gets them the win. Then the 1st half there was also Woods' moment where it was called knock on originally but softly overturned by the bunker?
In saying that though, there were probably times where we didn't take advantage & at least spend a bit of time down their end to get momentum unfortunately.

To be fair, Hannay’s presser was brief.
“Things didn’t go our way, some strange decisions, decisions that went against what has happened over the previous 21 rounds of the comp………..”
Nuff said I guess
Whatever Hannay said it wasn’t going to change the score and
would it be worth a 10k fine? I would be happy to chucking in a $1 towards the fine.
Can’t blame the refs for the first two failed kick offs.
one of which lead to a try.
Catch the ball no try. We win.
fact is. We were **** and our coach is **** with his ****house team selections.
Can't be upset with the effort. Disappointed with the result but at least they had a go.
