Good win by our boys.
There were some really strange referee decisions and as usual I had a heart attack towards the end of the game.
Murphy really needs to get a start, Robson is effing useless and while he is generally ok in defence, he offers nothing in attack.

Thank god we won that. Our finals march began today.
Some great footy in that game, and awesome to see creative play happening across the park. My thoughts:

1. Great to see Graham using his passing game in a set play. He has great hands but too often runs. I'm sure it's the coaches fault not his.

2. Barba off the bench works well. I don' think that means he should now be our starting number 1. Coming on as an impact player seems to suit him.

3. Taga almost lost us the game with a completely unnecessary strip. Unbelievable! Add to this the fact he bends the line back less than any other player in our team and it's still beyond me why the coach persists with him. I've never seen a guy that size run so fast at the defence, yet basically stop dead when he meets them. Replace Taga in that team with Arona or Roqica and we in 30-22 or more no sweat.

I was bored at the 25 minute mark and thought we were on top and heading to a dour victory. It then transformed into a stellar game. Great entertainment from the Sharks and the Newcastle sweep back try was brilliant as well.

The man who turned the game. Ben Barba. Well done!

If we had chad and maloney we would have probably won by 20-30 knights weren't great. Either way we were very entertaining and loved watching us run in some awesome tries - just lack that half direction.

Very good win, what an absolute rollercoaster of a game. My heart and brain took a beating

We really need to start playing good first half footy. Too often we wait until the second half when we are behind to find some energy and spark. Don't have that luxury against the better teams in the comp.

Defense needs some work but we were more enterprising in attack, ran the ball on the last alot and this caused some problems for the Knights. We didn't just resort to the Robson kick to the corners and looked better for it.

Looked like we had a gameplan but the players didn't wake up until about the 50 min mark.

Gids foot into touch was the highlight of the game

I don't enjoy watching us play badly, no, but I'm not writing the season off or writing my eulogy.
i didnt write the season off. I said if we cant win it our seasons over.
Eulogy, ill leave that to someone else. A nice poem even......chad?

Some people like to express themselves during the emotional roller coaster of watching a Sharks game.

Others like to come on later and boost their ego by mocking the doubters.

It's the way match day threads work.
