By the sounds of it, Barba stood right up in defence and pressure situations?

Gallen's 3 seconds at halfback early in the first half made me want to kick a dog

This is the exact sort of footy we need to be playing leading up and into the finals.

I'm not getting my hopes up but its exciting to watch us pull this together as a team

Say what you like about Gerard Beale not scoring Trys. If he keeps providing the quality balls for his team mates to score I really couldn't give a hoot. A clever and skillful centre as far as I'm concerned.

That's probably the first time a Gallen short ball has worked in my memory, the one to Taga I mean. Or maybe it was just horrid defense by that Mariner guy.

Always fun on game day to come on her during the game to read the ups and downs from you lot. Is like a bi-polar roller coaster.

Was a pretty sloppy first half, lucky to go in at half-time 10-0. But the had some solid defense which helped a lot I reckon.

Second half they showed a bit more form of what they can do in attack when they have the ball in hand. Was it a classy win, hardly, was it a win, damn right.

What the one where he nearly crossed the line, I thought it was worth it that bloody offload off the ground though......

But then again whilst ever he has the ball tackled or not everyone should be waiting for the offload.

I'm glad we hung on there. After they stole a win against us earlier in the season, it would have sucked to have got that close but lost it at the death. We were definitely the better team in the second half but we let the Warriors have a sniff at the death.

Halligan kept mentioning that we average 13 penalties a game. I know that's bull****. We only got two, from memory today.

Prior and Arona barely played any minutes and won't get any plaudits, but their effort in defense when Warriors were getting those back-to-back sets was real fking good. Taga was fantastic, Bukuya had his best game in a while. Screw it, everyone did well.

What are you lot crying about? Great win. We will take more from that game thanany other. A winning side wins games like that. The normal Sharks would lose badly.

Defiantly. The difference between this team and previous teams is that we are winning the games we usually would of lost. A win is a win! And it's even better when you win when you shouldn't of
