Yeah I'm not surprised. I can't believe Fifita can do so much work, he would've only been out there for like 50 minutes. That dude is a freak when his head is right.

He might make a few tackles, but his offense is woeful. Doesn't stand deep enough, run onto the ball hard enough. Gives away stupid penalties, struggles to even play the ball properly a lot of the time.

You are entitled to your opinion.

I am entitled to respond that your opinion is retarded. There is not another forward that is as good in offense as Fifita.

That is where Fifita kills it in offence, didn't have a chance tonight we were rolled early and all the defence just took it's toll.

Even with maloney coming here we're still a long way from being contenders.
Yep. That Cowboys pack is mind blowing. I rate our pack but they are a step above. We need a Matt Scott type to join our pack, I don't think Maloney is enough to win a premiership without a further step up in the forwards.

Fifita was immense tonight.

46 tackles 142 meters and 2 offloads.

How is that bad? Lol

Well that was a pretty ordinary game....

I don't comment on here often but I'm on here every day reading all your comments and appreciating this site.

I'm so angry at tonight's performance but in reality we were just completely outplayed. When it comes down to it we had a pretty good year and I don't think any of us would have thought we would make the 2nd week of the finals.

I am excited for next year and am hoping to make it to more games, we are moving in the right direction and I'm excited for the future.

Up up cronulla and I'm looking forward to reading all the insight of this forum over the off season (secretly snowman and sharks2010 are my faves :) ) lol

Just getting back to the hotel from the game. Obviously terrible to watch but Cowboys had everything going there way. Just want to give a huge pat on the back to Fifita being the only one to come over and shake every sharks supporters hands after the game.

I disagree evertonshark. We mightn't be main contenders sure, but our squad next season will look superb. There aren't any teams that wouldn't have gotten smashed out there tonight.
Maybe I'm just down in the dumps after that game. Hope you're right

I've thought we were 1 prop short for a while. I love hino and toops and boogs but I'd swap one of them for a big "harmen".

That was pathetic. Hope they feel like **** after that. They're probably already at the pub though, such is their level of professionalism.

I dunno if another big boppa would have made a difference. Like we just didn't have the ball, and at the few times we had it we kept dropping it. I don't know what really would have made a difference to the forward battle. Maybe a defensive player a Lock like Fensom or Mannering would have been something, but I dunno. I think they just played way too well. Best game Scott's played all year.

Has Tapau committed to the Tits yet? If not we should be talking to him.

Well, that was a poor way to finish the season - getting raped and our 'experienced' men being given a lesson in how to play football.

Our completions were atrocious, our kicking game was schoolboy stuff and Flanno should tell Wade he must never kick again. However even at our best we wouldn't have beaten the Cowboys - Their forwards dominated and we never got any momentum. We can't blame the refs at all. Even the bounce of Thurston's tunnel ball pass was perfect and everything gelled for them.

Lewis, Ennis and Bird played their worst games of football - I look forward to Bird playing centres next year.

Flanno is still clueless as a coach though, and Barba should have been on by the thirtieth minute to give us some spark when we most needed it - not in the 51st minute when we were down 25-0. Very poor call indeed. And not to have fixed our kicking game by this stage of the season when it was so obviously ineffective is unforgivable - those constant 7 tackle restarts killed us.

Bring on next year - and Roosters, don't let Maloney get injured.

I hope the Cowboys beat Melbourne though....

I didn't know he was moving on from the Tigers. They are nuts to let him go but he has exactly the kind of forward we require. Oozed passion and intensity.

FMD people need to stop bagging Wade's kicking. Yes it sucks but he has no option but to kick. It won't be the case next year so relax, it's not his fault.
