Round 3, 2010: South Sydney Rabbitohs 30 - Sharks 8, at Toyota Stadium

Just got home from the game, cold, wet, tired and gutted. Souths played awful so how did we play? Enough said!!!!

Paul Gallen - Captain Coach.

May sound left field but we look like we won't win a single game anyway, so who gives a ****?

it's all a bit confusing.

Sorry Mrs Stuart. 2008 hmmm I can't even remember yesterday. I love Ricky. He has great passion but struggles as a coach. I'ts called honesty and I've always thought that of him. Fell into a few great coaching gigs and then ..... nothing to offer. I'll be the first to say I'm wrong if he turns us around. My question is how many weeks do we give him?

PS Im the first person to stick up for Ricky at work and with my mates.... but I've always thought that I could speak openly in this forum of Sharks supporters.

after the first 3 kicks..... why WHY did they leave kelly at fullback? Why would you do it? ANY OTHER COACH WOULD OF MOVED HIM!
Trent Barrett is the worst signing we have ever had in the history of signings. Since he joined the club we have won 5 games. he is our biggest reason for failing.
Our defense is pathetic. Luke covell at one stage had to cover about 40 meters of ground by himself while the rest of the team was defending worse then under 9s.
Gallen was out played out muscled and for the second week in a row was missing all night.

Fergo can put his hand up and say he tried.
Douglas can put his hand up and say he tried
Snowden can put his hand up and say he tried

Thats about it. Toups needs to play lock ASAP when he is involved it shows but when he is out on the centers (i understand it couldnt be helped) he is just useless to us GIVE HIM THE ****ING BALL!

assuming collis is injured i think this side can win games.

Where do I start after that ****ING terrible performance. I no where to start RICKY STUART, please put all us true Sharks supporters out of our misery and leave this club. You could not teach a fish to breath under water. Why the bloddy hell did you not get someone to tell Kelly to move away from fullback once they continually put up bombs to him. I know why you didn't, because you are clueless.

Trent Barrett, please tell me that you broke your ribs or something and just toughed out the game. Because we sure don't need you in the Cronulla Sharks team. I doubt Trent would be able to set up a try in a local first grade game. Please let us see some sort of Tim Smith/ Josh Lewis/Albert Kelly halves combination next week, they will be able to score us some points.

Albert Kelly, while you monumentally ****ed up in abysmally trying to catch those high balls, you were great in everything else you did. Ran the ball back with pace and didn't mope on the ground like that pussy Nathan Stapelton. I'm so sick of Stapelton and his bitchness.

Paul Aiton and Shane Flanagan were pretty solid and I'm continually impressed with our hooking rotation week in week out. Wether it be with Morris starting or Aiton starting, we always have a good hooker rotation which is pleasing.

To finish it off, I am really sick and tired of watching this same old crap style that Ricky is 'teaching' these blokes. Time to go Ricky. Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey GOODBYE!

Kelly at fullback has to be the biggest coaching error of Ricky's career. Kid is just not ready for grade despite what Stuart and the "coaching" staff that seem to believe. Hate to say it but I'm going to have to agree with alot of the guys here calling for Ricky to go. He just can't seem to find the winning formula and instead keeps playing everyone out of position and struggling to post results.

Either he needs to put the boot up the arse of the players (god knows Barett frickin deserves it) and get them to show some ****in pride in that jersey, (the way that they bent over and took it tonight against Souths for **** sake makes me sick), show a bit of mongrel and actually put some effort in or as much as I hate to see teams ditch the coach during the season, it's see ya later Ricky time. The fist step for this to happen is for him take some responsibility for the teams situation and get someone to the club in a coaching consultant role to try and fix this mess that we are in at the moment.

It's funny how the only way I can seem to cope with all of this is just by laughing at all the posts.

We are so poo.

Training sessions prepare for games........ so why are all of them dropping the ball? On this occasion yes it's Ricky's fault.

because ricky trys to do big game plays at training, and they drop just as much ball at training aswell.

Back to basics, as we should've done a loooong time ago.

Ricky Stuart lacks the ability to develop players, and after what he did to that kid kelly tonight by leaving him back there copping bomb after bomb only proved that he has NFI.
Tim Smith will not change this side as long as ricky continues to coach the way he does.

DISAGRACEFUL !!

Tonights performance was a disgrace.....penalties, handling mistakes and no idea in attack. Stuart take a good look at the team and yourself.

1. Why did you leave Kelly at fullback and not move Stapelton back there is beyond me....
2. What is Morris is doing ?
3. Have you had a word to Tupuo?
4. Where was Millington ?

Saying that hold you head up Cuthbertson, Aiton and Flanagan.

So if they drop it at training why try it in games? Bad coaching.

we will not win a game till TRENT/COVELL/STUART! ... leaveeee leaveeee JUST LEAVE!! i will not shut up till you leave!

i know im gunna get shouted down by the rest of you but i felt so sorry for albert kelly.
the kid has so much potential, so much talent but hes not a ****ing full back. morris went better than expected but ****.
