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.

Was that the play where he kicked it himself? I coulda sword those were diff plays. I'm talking about the one where he kicked it, maybe I just hate gallen but I could have sworn it was bs

Wow. I've a had a couple of beers, but I am going to use the word polished to describe the second half. The team just looked finals material.

Holmes is off the dial. Great to see Taga running like a man possessed again. And anyone who thinks Barba isn't safe under the high ball should be committed.

Barba might be safe under the high ball but is a passenger out there his knee is strapped so tight he can hardly run.
Did deki come of injuried?

Great win by the boys!
I think it is the 3rd time this year we were scoreless at halftime and come back and won.
Great defence by Robson.
Great game by Beale in both attack and defence (I do give credit where due).
Heading towards the 4!!

He wasn't elusive like he has been in past weeks and yeah he was heavily strapped. I assume it is a niggle.

Gutsiest win of the year, just awesome stuff from the boys. NZ were camped in our 20 for most of the first half and we defended so well. Jeff Robson, take a bow.

Yes, possession ma have evened up in the second half but we didn't have as much of it inside 20 like they did in the first.

Beale, awesome game. But but but he hasn't scored a try. Who cares.

Bird was much better today, more involved and teamed up well with Val on a few occassions. Love the future.

Val. What do you say about this kid. Sign him up for life.

Ohh yeah, and we had the refs against us all game.

So proud of the boys. Massive win.

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.

He was taking the piss.

Best part is we're 2 wins from being finals certainties - a top 4 finish would require only dropping one game, so a conservative estimate says we finish 6th. Considering the start to the season, with no marquee half, this has been a great year. Ennis our best buy in a long, long time.

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

Totally agree, we had no ball what-so-ever in that first half with multiple sets of six against us and we only went to the break 10 down.

I knew if we had some ball in the 2nd half that we'd beat them.

This was an awesome win from our boys, away from home and against the odds, all you whingers have no idea.

I was stoked when the Warriors kept taking the two. Poor strategising from them. They needed to score and change the flow of the game as we were clearly in the ascendency.

WOW! I can't believe we won that. We had no possession, Warriors completed sets like they have never done before. Townsend was on fire. Yet we still managed to pull it out. FKING UNBELIEVABLE.

Everyone in the team did their part, nobody played poorly. Everyone played to-or-above their potential tonight. Robson's still garbage in attack, but he put his body on the line and his defense was back; Should turn himself into a defensive coach or some ****. His tackling was perfect.

Beale is garbage, still hasn't scored a try.....

Massive win. The defence in first half was epic. Heino is huge. thought Beale was superb today. If We don't sign Val for life soon I'm blowing up. I know Bird isn't a 5/8 but geez he's a footballer. Tough bugger. Thought Gal was good. Cheeky kick. Anyway bit boozy at moment but currently loving life. Cowboys under pressure from filthy Raiders. Welcome to Remondis next week
