Replay time!!!!!
Round 19 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v Canberra Raiders Saturday 18th July 2015 3:00pm @ GIO Stadium

- Start date
Hello top eight.
Dogs will be tough but we won today without barba and we didn't play our best. I'm more confident we can upset the dogs next week.
But that first 20 was top notch. Best I've seen them play this year. Even Robson wasn't doing too much wrong. And whatever fafita is eating for breakfast....... he is now becoming week in week out one of our best.

Canberra are no slouches, even with their current poor record. They started playing high risk attacking football, and with that momentum came some incredibly inept refereeing (can only assume the refs got as excited as everyone else and forgot they weren't spectators), both of which worked for them this time.... At least up til the final glorious field goal.
We did lose our attacking structure for the last 10, and would have been witnessing the usual wrist slitting here without Ennis. Geez he's an amazing player. I even think he's rubbing off on Robbo, he had a pretty good game tonight!

Bloody hell that one was hell of a rollercoaster ride!
Haven't had time to read this thread but my thoughts.....
I've never seen us roll up the field as well as we did today, was awesome stuff. The first 20 minutes was as good as it gets. The second 20 minutes I felt we lost all composure and tried too hard. Terrible pass by Lewis onto Flash's shoulder. Ridiculous kick by Ennis on the 2nd from 20 out. Three bombs in a row to Edrick Lee (2 by Robbo 1 by Wade). Why do we do this??? We did the same thing against Easts, bombing time after time to Tupou. It's just dumb. We should have been up by at least 20 at half time. With Maloney and Chad in the halves I think we'll take advantage of metres and possession better.
Flash. I won't repeat myself here. I have posted my thoughts in his thread.
The refs. We definitely had a good run with them until it counted, and they turned to ****. I'd like an explanation from the ref's boss as to why Fifi's try was not awarded given it was given a try on field? No way known was there conclusive evidence to overturn that.
Anyway, ecstatic to get the 2 points but we need to take advantage of the chances we're creating if we're going to beat Canterbury at Belmore next week.

I thought his forearm controlled the ball all the way to downward pressure, hence try. Also, if he was interfered with then why wasn't it a penalty try as he came close enough without the interference.
Hypothetically I would have been interested to see what they would have awarded if it was Canberra 'scoring'.

Does anyone reckon Josh Reynolds is in trouble for the next game against us? Saw a couple of quick replays of him tripping Chris Sandow and he's got form for that. I know charges don't come out until Monday but I wouldn't be surprised if he was charged.

Hope not. I'd rather he played.

Good Point

Know what you mean mate but he's probably likely to put on a good one against us.

I'd rather him on the field than Mbye mate. Either way, I think we lose next week.

Yeah it'll be hard to back up with another away win, I'm not confident either. But then again, I haven't been confident for the past four weeks and we've only lost one of those.

Just finished watching the replay. Croker was in tears at the end. Strangely satisfying.

Great win men. Watching the post match interview with Sticky absolutely squirming in his seat as the boys celebrated in the background was absolutely priceless. Up Up Cronulla. Go the mighty Sharkies.
Gal you are in my eyes one of our clubs immortals and one of our greatest clubmen.
Great win fellas.
Train hard, fight easy.

Had to come up to Wagga wagga yesterday trying to get updates with the nrl app.
Pulled into the first pub in Wagga to see the fifita "no try" what a disgrace.
That set of 6 in extra time that lead to the love doctor field was All-time
Ha alot of support for the Sharks here. They
Don't seen to like the raiders for some reason.
Seems be a lot of negative comments of some sharks players.
Will have to watch the reply when I get home.

I still like Gorden in the side (I am not a fan though) having Barba come on later in the game to pick up the tempo works, if anything its something we were missing last night will barba be able to do that
if he plays the first 20?
