Waited for the replay and watched that. Down 22-0, I was just hoping we'd score a try. Could not believe we won it!

The real entertainment for me was going on to the forum after the replay and reading all the first half comments. Priceless. Gee there are some whingers among you! :p

Hopefully that gets some confidence back!

I just finished watching the game on NBN... Bloody hell I am stunned and so proud!!! Of all the Brisbane games I cant attend we get a bloody good comeback win! Right now I am just so proud to be a Cronulla supporter! Carney played brilliantly as did Licha I must say, Brown played respectably aswell as Gagan I have to say

Just finished watching the game on the telly - Enjoyed the second half immensely and there are some points we can learn from this game...


Repeat sets are gold...and require some decent kicks on the fifth tackle. We finally did the little things right to get those repeat sets!

Kicks need to be chased to put pressure on the catcher - that's why Barba dropped it cold - and so did their winger, allowing Feki to score the winning try.

Carney came alive in the second half and it was good to see.

Leutele did well to contain Hodges. Jono Wright had a strong game in the right centre which has been our big weakness. See you later Blake Ayshford...

Arona needs to learn to play the ball without stuffing it up.

Our play the balls were quick and crisp instead of slow and clunky -giving us momentum and a chance for the backs to have some space to work with.

Feki deserves a wrap, as does Gagan.

Gordon had a great game and his accurate kicking helped big time.

I am sorry we won't be retaining Lichaa next year. His support in dummy half play and getting the ball to Carney quickly was just what we needed. He needs to be in the side for the rest of the year.

It is so nice to see us get a rub of the green tonight...we had most of the 50/50 or questionable calls go our way for once.

I'm so proud of the boys tonight. Listening to the ABC broadcast it sounded like we were playing like **** in the first half but now that I've watched the telecast I can see the boys were putting it on the line the whole way through

Only way we managed victory was through fate though, there were plenty of moments in the last 35 where the ref could have made a decisive 50/50 against us

Rep to the players out there who kept pushing the whole way, one impressed Sharks supporter here

Those repeat sets really were the catalyst for the win. The pressure was put on them and we didn't let up, even with our previous scoring complications.

We are quite the bogey side for Brisbane ATM.

Okay I'm currently in France and missed the game, can someone give me a brief run down of what the Phark happened?

55 minutes in, we are 22-0 down and Ben Hunt is butt raping us, we created some fantastic chances with our variation around the ruck and our ball movement, but couldn't find that final pass or kick to finish it off........but then.......it happened, cross field kick, Gagan catches it and scores..........delirium in the shire........ But then, the floodgates opened, Gal crashes over 22-12, Toddy slides through a gap, 22-18.........then with five to go, bomb is put up, Sharks chases come steaming in like their lives depended on it, under pressure, Copley spills it, Feki picks it up and crosses to complete the greatest comeback in the history of the universe!!! Cue mass celebration in the shire, nay around the WORLD! Everywhere except 99% of Brisbane. Rejoice for the Sharks, against all odds have prevailed and shall return to the lands of the Shire, heroes among men, and for I, CrazyMatt, will be eternally greatful because they won me $48.50.........from the evil Sportingbet empire.

That my friend is what happened this evening.....

We were down 22-0 with about 25 left on the clock.

Carney popped a fourth tackle chip to Gagan whom scored, and that opened the flood gates.

Big bonus was Wright in the centres, defended well.

Funnily enough for the first 50 odd minuets of the game, it wasn't as if we weren't creating opportunities to score, it's just we would **** up at the final hurtle.
