After two rounds, out of all teams the Sharks so far...

- Are first in line breaks
- Are first in tackle busts
- Are first in offloads
- Are first in metres
- Have the least missed tackles

But have the second highest error count.

We've also just played two premiership favourites.

Always look on the bright side of life *whistles*

Yep - we've been pretty spot on defensively. 3/6 tries against us have been from kicks and one of them was bogus. Pity about the other 2 soft ones :(

Just need draw and pass practice at training this week and we'll blow Manly away ;)

lol anyone that watched either of those games would soon realise that neither of those teams played like premiership favourites that's for sure if they did we would have been blown away.

Sorry but its a load of crap and really does anyone think its going to be much better with cannon fodder Robo at 7.

I don't hold him in high regard at all and yes I have seen him play if he was that good he would have been in the halves rounds one and two but he wasnt.

Haha
So any player who hasn't started the season in first grade cannot be seen as good!!
He is a more suitable partner for carney than wade.

There can so many answers to your question its not funny.
My take is :
Wade is a far superior player than Robson.
The coach would have probably liked to have seen that combo work. So would I.
But with gal running the show.. Wade cannot put 13 on his back without
Consent from gal.
Now that flanno has seen the disjointed play from wade/carney has decided to go with a better organising half to pair up with the brilliant carney.

Ok ragin i will keep and eye out for both of those things organising and brilliance but lets just hope Gallen at least cuts the apron strings for a couple of sets to let us see it.

I assume Flanno's just trying different combinations for the half's. It's the first time in years we have multiple, quality half's in Carney, Graham, Townsend and Robson and it'll take a couple rounds to find the right combination between them. Heck for all we know it might turn out to be Townsend and Robson in the halfs with Carney at fullback.

And we're still 0-2.

We're that statistically good and still getting beat. It proves we know how to play, but got bugger all idea about winning.

You don't have to play better than Cronulla to win, you just gotta turn up and assist them in beating themselves.

We'll have much stiffer competition than our first 2 opponents too. Beginning this weekend against a side who just know how to win.
