had a fine game. you call letting a player run pasts you to score dropping 2 bombs and missing several other tackles a fine game.

The entire side played sheit. Fergo did have a bad game but there were people worse, a lot worse (Misi and Pom off the top of my head) i think it's time to bring Orcher and Simmons into the picture because we need pace and ball security with those two we have pace and with Simmons we defiantly have ball security.
hey peachey2, you dont like misi and poms, we get it

We've got more problems than a couple backline changes will fix.
Two full weeks of the same half combination would help, That should be the first step.

Student takes on issue during HSC

Blake Ferguson, Bruce Carr, Mike Augee (back), Margie-May Hockey, Lisa Austin, Aunty Joyce Williams, Tjanara Talbot (middle), Evelyn Willie and Patricia Wright.
A local high school student has used a major project for her Higher School Certificate to raise community awareness about reconciliation.
Tjanara Talbot used her Aboriginal Studies project to organise ‘Dhaguu Yandal … Where to Now?’ in a bid to highlight the importance of reconciliation in the community.
Held on Sunday, the event featured a number of guest speakers including Cronulla Sharks footballer Blake Ferguson, Wellington councillors Lisa Austin and Mike Augee and local Aboriginal elder Aunty Joyce Williams.
Miss Talbot said reconciliation was important and could be achieved by holding events such as this.
“The support from the community was great. We had about 60 people turn up which was very pleasing,” she said
“Lisa spoke to the group about reconciliation and the closing the gap campaign.
“Mike Augee’s speech was very interesting. He talked about how reconciliation was not only happening in Australia.”
The speaker who attracted an enormous amount of attention was Blake Ferguson. Mr Ferguson is a former high school student and “is a great example of a young Indigenous achiever from our community”.
He said it was great to see a reconciliation event in Wellington.
“It is great to look around and see so many different faces in the crowd and to see the Wellington community come together in support of reconciliation,” he said in his speech.
Mr Ferguson went on to highlight the efforts being made by Australian Rugby League (ARL).
“Earlier this week, the ARL showed their commitment to the reconciliation movement through the Indigenous Development Program in announcing the Indigenous All Stars would play against the NRL All Stars.I bet you’re as excited about this project as me.”
The hard work is not over now for Ms Talbot, who spent the past two months organising the event. Her focus will now be shifted to completing her major art project and then her HSC exams.
“I’d like to thank WACHS (Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service) for the barbecue, the ARL for paying for Blake’s flight, the school for letting us use the hall and Kate Smith for volunteering to face paint. Also the Wellington Reconciliation and Social Justice Group - the day would not have happened without their help.”

EVERYTHING was telling Solomon Haumono to pack it in.
Last month, the former rugby league wrecking ball had just been knocked out in 15 seconds and embarrassed by a church-going former kick-boxer making his pro debut.
With his career on the canvas, Haumono needed some inspiration and found it from his nephew Blake Ferguson
The same 19-year-old flyer who has emerged as a beacon of hope for a Cronulla club determined to blood new talent and start afresh.
Ferguson, a 95kg winger, grew up on the tough streets of Marrickville, Earlwood and Canterbury. He's the cheeky second cousin of Anthony Mundine who once drifted between the care of his mother in the city and his grandmother out in the NSW bush until he was 16.
"It was a tough childood ... yeah. Growing up in a tough area was hard,'' Ferguson said. "And I was always moving back, forth and around with either my mum or grandma. I'd go to a school in Wellington for six months and come back and go to school in Marrickville.''
But Ferguson was the perfect fit for both Sharks coach Ricky Stuart and an embattled club.
And for Haumono, Ferguson's rapid entry into the NRL was a timely wake-up call. "I've spent the last decade watching him grow and where he's come from, it's a tribute to himself,'' Haumono said.
"Seeing what Blake has done, where he's come from, that inspires you as well. You've been through what you've been through and you want to be a leader for the younger generation. It gives you that extra push and drive. He's done that for me now."
"It's not always the other way around. It goes both ways and I can't say enough about the kid. He's got the characteristic of not being content or complacent.''
Told of Haumono's praise, Ferguson responded with a wide smile. "That's pretty cool, hey,'' he said. "I never thought that he would think like that about me. It's good coming from him. He's done almost everything in the game. That's big for him to say that.''
Despite still being eligible for Toyota Cup, the athletic Ferguson represents the new wave of talent at the Sharks.
Ferguson, fullback Nathan Stapleton, centre Matthew Wright and halfback Scott Porter have helped bring about the club's resurgence as they chase a fourth consecutive victory when they face the Broncos tomorrow night at Toyota Stadium.
