NRL Round 21 2016 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Gold Coast Titans @ Cbus Super Stadium Monday August 1 @ 7pm

Press conference:

* happy to take a point but it was a hollow feeling.
* Flanno hates golden point because the rule book gets thrown out the window.
* Gal's a bit deflated, felt like they threw it away. But will happily take a point.
* Flanno thinks that Don's try was an obstruction. Gal says the rule has to be black and white, says that's been an obstruction all year, but they should of stopped the try anyway, winger and centre didn't have faith in each other.
* Flanno praised the Titans, we defended well.

Big agnatius paasi is an absolute gun too

Another good harmen forward would do us the world of good though, not just a plodder to tackle either like some are obsessed with on here.

Or a Young Big Bugger Prop

Anyone seen a replay with multiple angles of the last play in regular time?

Or better angles of the Fifita offside call when he drove the Titans back into their in goal like a god damn animal?

Gards · Aug 1, 2016

Still need to remind myself that the draw took us back to first which feels a bit weird. Still not time to drop our heads. Titans had a massive game in D. Lets hope flanno gets us firing towards the finals.

Titans odds are now $67...

They never do and its a joke. If its a penalty in the 1st minute its a penalty in the 89th

That penalty against fifita and chad was absolute garbage, took them ages to blow it as well

When it happened i thought it was a penalty straight away.

I think its safe to say the 2 ref system is a joke, especially when they both call different things

That was probably the best we have played in a while. The Titans really gave it to us, they were twice as good as any team we have played in the last few weeks. The old Sharks would have gotten beaten well by that side but this current squad have a mental toughness that stops it happening.

Still undefeated since Round 3.

Up Up Cronulla

Seriously? I thought it's the worst theyve been in ages. Perhaps all year. Only started playing after the 80 minutes was up. Out enthused, bashed in the middle, and more than anything lost all shape with the ball and waited for a teammate to do something.

Passive.

squiddy · Aug 1, 2016

A couple of points

We can still improve
Refs gave us a couple of bum decisions
I have never seen a Titans team play that well , ever ! Full credit to them
Why val didn't take an attempt is a bit strange given his success rate

Our forwards were absolutely dominated , that is the biggest worry to come out of that game

vicsharkfan · Aug 1, 2016

Entertaining for sure, agree just not clicking but at least errors and penalties seemed better tonight. Credit to Titans they aimed up and busted their balls tonight. Was getting sick of the media streak talk so 1 point still allows us to finish on top if good enough while people can stop going to the record books. Love to do a demolition job on raiders next week to get us back on track and firing.

creg · Aug 1, 2016

No idea why they called held on Val at the end of regular time. I'm sure if you watch it back that's a legitimate FG by Maloney.

Born&bred · Aug 1, 2016

We need more big boppers in our squad for sure

Nulla Boy · Aug 1, 2016

Yep, very hollow feeling after that. But to still be undefeated since rd 3 is a mighty effort.

CHOGM · Aug 1, 2016

That game was a case of one team fighting to be in the finals, and the other just wanting to get the finals started already. We look like we're going through the motions a bit at the moment, but purely because the games between now and the finals don't mean much to us.

I'd like to see Capewell come onto the bench personally. At the expense of Graham's mate. We need someone on the field full of energy and keen to impress.

Very noticeable tonight, was screaming at the Tele 50min mark for fifs to go back on.

yep. Been saying it since the semis last year. We are one big boy short and when a team gets physical with us like the cowboys did last year, Like the titans did tonight and like the good teams will do in the semi's we find it hard to contain them.

they deserve the hype. They really took it to us tonight.

Not sure why everyone is bagging us out tonight and saying we were crap. I must have been watching a different game.

The only thing I'm disappointed in tonight was some of our decisions in golden point. With the opportunities we created we really should have closed the game out.

Credit where credits due. The titans really brought their A game tonight and really wanted the win. But was a improved effort from us and definitely not our worst game of the year like some have suggested

They deserve it but I'm still bracing for it. Media love to wank off teams up north and put down those in the south as soon as they slip up (not referring to us at present btw)

Its a bit like despite coming first we still have more to prove than teams like the titans and raiders and on our history and way we have been playing there's probably a lot of truth in that

I mentioned it earlier but was good to see less striiping of ball ect in the ruck from Lewis and co. We got away with some holding down but discipline was improved
