:cheers S2!

Absolutely brilliant game by the boys! Words can't express my feelings tonight. Back to back wins and the way we did it - Wow! 8 tries in a game is a monumental effort.

We did have a bit of a sleep there attack wise from the 55th to the 70th minute but we were well in front and Penrith were just awful.

Terrible decision by Elliott to play Tahu. There is no way he is match fit and he was an easy target.

Toops is starting to regain the form he had at the Roosters and Nathan Gardener is really something special. He was safe under the high ball, he bobbed up everywhere and boy is he strong! How he continually beats defenders twice his size I don't know. And it is sheer strength - he pushes them off and shrugs off the tacklers.

Our whole pack again showed why they are a force to be reckoned with and given some space our backline does have some pace. Poms was again very solid and busted some easy tackles. Our halves will get better and better and John Williams actually impressed me with his strength and goal kicking. The only player I am still not sold on is Matt Wright but why change a winning team. He just seems to get caught out a bit and he seems quite slow, considering everyone was raving about his pace when we first bought him.

Let's hope the press give us a bit of credit now. I am sure they will still be cautious and not give us any hope but maybe that's what we need, not to be talked up all the time.

The next two games will be tough against the Warriors in NZ and then at home against Manly. If we can knock those sides over as well, we are in for a good season people!

hey everyone, for all of you that have fox Flanno is about to be on there re the press conference after the game.

thanks s4e, dont know how to do that

So happy right now watching the replay now

I am in shock, awe and some disbelief, everything we have wanted to see in our football side for the past 2-3 years has come out in the past 6 days or so. To play the way we did tonight, after such a short turnaround from a brutal slogout the preious round is amazing.

What is even more amazing is actually hearing commentators and media personalities talk about us like we are a brilliant side! Harold........

What a focking win. Great time to be a sharkies supporter.

Good to catch up with you snowy.

1st back to back wins since june 09 (i think).....bout bloody time. now for the hat -trick!!

Wake Up Pat Jarvis..

AWESOME!
Perfect word to describe what happened today.
The last week has been a dream.Considering what us sharkies fan have had to put up with over the last 2 years,I think we deserve it.But in saying that we cannot get ahead of ourselves,these performances have to be put in every week.Whether it be a tight encounter to the premiers or drubbing to a side that was 2nd in the previous years minor premiership,we have to back up.

P.S.How pissed did greg alexander look in the pre game show on fox tonight?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooooo happy right now for Albert and the team. God its so good to be a sharks fan!

Unbelievable. Un-****ing-believable.

Soon as this game is out on DVD I'm buying a copy.
