The sharks have taken 2 points when presented with them. Is this a positive tactic or negative tactic?

Is it showing less faith in our attack, or the game plan we are trying to play.

Is it showing less faith in our attack

If Jesus Christ resurrected at Toyota Stadium tonight 5 minutes before kick off just to assure us that he'd taken care of things and we'd score a boot load of tries, I'd still lack faith in our attack.

Thing about taking the 2 is, our games are so bloody close, 2 points is plenty, and if its being served up on a platter we're wise to take it, just as other teams will when playing us, where as against other opposition they might opt to go for the 4.

Basically with Covs back in form, anything inside the 35-40 meter-ish mark we're odds on to put points in the bank, so we take it regardless of whether or not we have rubbish offense. Since we do have rubbish offense though it makes even more sense.

Yer, with a goal kicker like Covell you are better off to go for 2 with sharks current offence form.

Well it makes sense to take the two points. Even if Luke misses the kick, there is enough power on the ball to make it go dead, thus giving Cronulla a second shot at points from a 20m drop kick.

Alright, Cummins was the ref. Not like I slurred Maxwell's good name though, so no harm done.
