Round 8 2013 NRL: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v Newcastle Knights, Hunter Stadium, Sunday 2:00pm, 5th May 2013

Good effort and obviously a tough win up there but the team was still poor in parts and has a long win to go. In the end probably lucky to get a win. Had Mullen been on the field i think it might have been a different result. Sharks shut up shop and played negative one out football once they got up 20-14 with 15 to go. It had little effect through the ruck as the Knights just jammed in.

Need to get out of this negative mentality of just trying to defend small leads and taking goal kicks to go up 2-0. The top teams can score three tries in 15 minutes if they need to.

I liked Taga doing 25-30mins early... Fafita fresh off the bench. 25mins first half and continuing another 20 second half, before coming on for the the last stanza worked perfectly. Happy to be shot down but i reckon it was coaching brilliance.

I was smiling at the irony of it. I didn't care who kicked the field goal but that fact that it was Robson just made it even funnier.

1/20+ games. Good record lol

Carn Cronulla!

Random prediction of the game (We all know how good I am at making predictions) Jono Wright first try scorer.

Nice job

Now do the same next week! The most unlikely prediction!

You are like some sort of auto script software programed to post random words every 3 mins

JimBob said:
I reckon we'll see Carney kick at least one 40/20 in the second half with the breeze.

Jesus, good money on the Sharks at $4.20 to win on TAB.

I thought the same, was only down by 6 and paying over $4 someone should get on that as we were still a good chance!

I think wright had his best game of the year today, so did lewis, good to see and heighington was solid, even moris played well, make no mistake, the knight would have beaten alot of other teams today, we did extreamly well to win, I tip my hat to the boys today, up up cronulla

The Knights played to their Bennett structures and some sloppy defense from us didn't cope. I don't think they would have troubled that many teams today though - they were pretty tame.
But agree that we did do well to stay in the fight and come out on top after a horrible start.

For a game where they talked up the Mason v Fifita for origin battle. Fifita knocked Mason out of the park. Still wont get picked but

Mason went well I thought but didn't seem to get that much game time. However Fafifta was just ausome and looked the better player.

Had a pretty big hand at the end of the Warriors game last year. But your point still stands.

Dont know if this has already been noticed...but we scored 0ver 20 points today and Gallen wasnt on the field!!!

Love Gal as a workhouse and go forward guy BUT me thinks this is more than a coincidence and GAL within our team structure is slightly overrated

Flame away comrads

vicsharkfan · May 5, 2013

I thought poms by poms less than lofty standard played above himself today, I love it when he gets the pill and just runs straight and hard not trying to beat people on the outside, big well done to done as well to young geki solid with a great tackle assist at the end to trap Boyd in goal which turned out to be the difference.

Thank you Sharkies. Just got home after being to the game. Nice to finish this crap week on a high. Up up Cronulla! Thanks boys!

Happy for you mate

For anyone who watched the game on fox. Was it just me or did Kimmorley seem really anti sharks?

He usually seems to have some sort of negative undertone about us but didn't seem to be much of that today although I could only hear the volume second half. As a commentator I don't rate him.

Josh said:
It always funny to read the media write us off completely when Gallen doesn't play..yet the fans know he can be a hindrance in attack at times.

It would seem Buzz Rothfield is the only one in the media that "knows" this.

Warriors game at home last season - scored 2 tries in last 5 mins or so in the rain. Won us the game.

You won't get flamed cause we all know it's true. Gallen was good last week though just running straight and hard and not getting involved in the play. Even mentioned it in the post match presser. I really hope he keeps that up, even when we get behind on the scoreboard. Providing we are given the chance we have showed we can bounce back from being behind on the scoreboard.

You are right about Poms being good at running straight and hard but what use is a centre or even a back rower for that matter that can't pass the ball and has serious defensive issues?

He's more of a liability than an asset out there

Did no one see Pomeroys little flick pass today? Was epic!
