I only watched the last 10-15 minutes because I had some mates over for my 21st. A couple of my mates who are Sharks fans ended up watching it with me and it could have gotten very ugly had the Panthers won it on the bell. I felt like I was going to have a mental breakdown watching it, so I feel for you poor bastards who had to watch the whole game! I thought Wade did very well to milk it and Robbo's try could have been a double movement, though I didn't have the TV on loud during the game so I don't know what the commentators said.

Thankfully I had put Up Up Cronulla on my iPod, I was the only one that enjoyed it but it was worth it!
I don't think Wade milked it, he was obstructed if ever there was one, Cleary said he dived but he just doesn't like losing but it was good to see the video refs on our side for once!

Yeah I wasn't saying I was surprised they let us play him, Penrith are usually a good team I have no quarrels with them, Just saying what would have been the case if it did happen

He put his arms around him when it clearly looked like it wasn't going to impact the play. It was an obstruction but I can't tell you if it is against the rules because they keep changing them every week!

Going for any other club would be boring
Yes I can see how watching quality back line movements and winning premierships would be boring...
Having said that **** other teams!

He found the dressing room
I deadset throught the ground announcer was being sarcastic and taking the piss out of Ayhsford. You would think someone could have called his mobile or something rather than announce it over the whole ground but spose it was urgent - those dressing room towels ain't gunna clean themselves!

On the obstruction, Moylan caught the ball on the inside of Docker and ran around him. Whare dropped the ball when he tried to ground it and Docker got in Graham's way when he was sliding across. No try on 3 fronts

Im sure this has already been brought up a few times in the past in general but I'll tell you one thing that makes me frustrated about watching us play, don't get me wrong Im still a supporter through thick & thin but it just frustrates me so hard seeing the teams gain easy metres on us, off the kick off teams are already on the 50 by tackle 3 sometimes, because when we are defending we just stay on our line, don't bother about rushing out, if you know about general momentum etc. you will work out that the person running the ball has all the general momentum & that means can easily make a tackle bust! Surely Sharp has noticed that even the boys should have worked it out by now, FFS! Look at the Roosters defence for example, they all rush up as soon as the ref gives the go. DRIVES ME MAD!

Always fun when I ring up FOXTEL and say " you won't believe his but another one just died"
They tried to charge me for the first one and I blew up and they just don't bother anymore.
hahaha that's good man! Made me crack up for 5mins:lmao

Lead up to first panthers try had a clear forward pass that the officials missed. Don't feel sorry for them thinking they got hard done by on some 50/50 calls, they played crap and we showed more guts and determination to get the points although I was still a bit dumfounded at the end of the game how we actually ended up winning lol

Soward was missing most of the game and the panthers fans have already been dumping **** on him and wallace, ha ha

We're paying $1.85. I'm on that.

How can we be favourite yet on the bottom of the ladder?

Both teams are paying $1.85.

That's what I meant, you seemed real happy with the $1.85 odds it was like you were thinking we were a dead set cert, which we haven't been for quite some time. If we were $2.20 or even $2.50, I could understand your glee but not at a lousy $1.85.

Never in doubt, Chadley. Never in doubt.

Ha ha HB. Never in doubt. Not until the 80th minute anyway... :p No rest for us Sharks fans eh?

Heart in mouth stuff. Do we know any other way?

There should be a warning on membership cards...."Supporting the Cronulla Sharks may be harmful for your health."

Yeah, was watching on my iPad as I couldn't get to the game and isn't just typical when the thought enters your brain automatically in the last minute, "Penrith are going to score here, we're going to lose this."

Yep you could just sense something was going to happen at the final kick off.
