Yeah, Graham in particular. The bloke was just owning that left hand side before the rot set in. With Gallen, Smith and Carney back Graham and Toops are a luxury. Mmm, I think I'm getting optimistic...or very drunk. Either way I'll be watching todays game a few more times.

Blair is a terrific ruck defender but offers very little in attack unless you structure play around him like they did in Melbourne. The Tigers aren't doing it right.
Still overpaid thought Mr Wright. I've never seen someone back into the defence more than him. I wouldn't swap him for any of our backrowers.

This.
That is the best i've seen our backline look for ages. More space, more time and more options. It's much harder to stop someone like Best when he comes at the defensive line with a bit of momentum.
Mr Wright

Yeah wasn't disagreeing with the overpaid part, just saying he can be a handy player if utilized well.

You see, just when I was having a good day Flanagan goes and bangs on about this. FFS, if untrue rumours affect a player this much he isn't a mental giant is he. The only reason Carney should let this affect his performance is if it was true. Get the **** over it and keep playing like we did today.

Yes yes. Yeah but it does piss off everyone about the claims. We know it has been started by someone in the roosters.

While Carney, Tupou, Fafita and Best all had good games, I want to give wraps to Mathew Wright. He isn't flashy but boy he is so reliable as our fullback. For the last three years I have been getting palpitations everytime a high ball goes up for our fullback but have started to relax now that Matty is there fulltime.
Also noticed today he is starting to sniff around the ruck when Tupou does his hit ups....looking for the offload. He will start making some breaks soon - Give him time....

Great win today sharks. Tough to win over here. Played some decent football as well.
Tupou was fantastic again like I said he would be when injury free and finally playing with some decent halves around him. Great to prove the knockers wrong.
Some others down on form Degois, Bakuya were good as well.

Just got back from the game. Man that was good to see the boys shaft the warriors like that.
Warriors were flat and the home crowd was giving it to them. Started leaving with 15 to go. Up up Sharkies. Yeah boi.

What a performance from the Sharkies! It's great to see the boys back out there tearing up the paddock. That game was an absolute credit to Shane Flanagan.

Seriously snow is cold, wet, windy, $$$$$$ and over rated at least the kids loved it. Made my weekend to get to the bottom of the mountain in mobile range and get the final score yeah boys thats the one we needed shake in your boots knights fans finally with a game like that it restores the faith, and further to earlier discussions i for one will be screaming for the eels to salute tommorrow night cant wait to everyone goes to bed and i can watch the replay in peace!!!
The first thing i thought when i heard him saying this was he was coming out and defending him publicly to try and win kudos with Carney (you know with the recent media speculation about Stuart signing at the eels and targeting certain origin players for the eels in 2013/14). Probably me being a bit too cynical though.
Acknowledging it in the media only encourages it to continue. Like acknowledging it in here.
