Storm verse Knights a good game

 

[Super Impose]

Why do you get penalised for being an inch over the half way line from a kick off,

BUT from the ensuing penalty it is ok to take that penalty kick from a metre over the half way mark ?

Storm verse Knights a good game

Superb game because the knights got done

 

[Gards]

He has always had this ability... if you keep him on the wing.

However, stupid coaches would move him to fullback and center...

Prob cause coaches got sick of him bombing tries out wide...admintingly his handling has improved

Despite them watering the ball to make it slippery for the Storm LOL! Something ironic about Storm complaining other team is cheating haha

Agree. Got no big wrap on the storm but just have a deep seated hatred for the knights. Away games against Cows and Broncs could see them miss out on 8. Fingers crossed.

 

[Gards]

I don't like the Knights either, overrated hacks who are failing despite having one of the great coaches and a cashed up backer. I despise the Storm as well though

The Storm win means top 4 prob out of the question now for Sharks but at least it keeps the Knights further away from our spot on the ladder

 

[Gumby]

Just a question if we finish 6th do we get a home semi?

Yeah but it will be at Allianz

 

[Tank]

Also I'd rather we didn't play the Knights. For whatever reason we struggle to beat them!

 

[Sir Chadley]

Chad , I would love to see that sort of passion from our coach.

Granted, the bit about about the penalty count sails close to the wind , however he has guaranteed the rub of the green for his side next week.

Yeah agreed but I just can't stand the bloke. Reeks of arrogance, according to him, Manly and he can do no wrong, team of angels. Really gives me the irrits he does.

 

[skeksis]

I can't remember when/why it was decided our "home" final didn't deserve to be played at our actual home ground.

It was the Dragons fault. They took a big final against a Sydney team to Kogerah.

Now it means absurd stuff happens like Manly playing the Cowboys at the SFS in week one finals and 14k turning up.

Yes, meanwhile Canberra can have a home final despite their ground being tiny via the providence of not being a Sydney club. Means there is little to our advantage though even if we get a "home" final...

 

[Sir Chadley]

I'm really glad we started the Warriors three game losing streak. That's one team I wouldn't want to be facing in the semis. Hope they don't make it.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Yeah and the Dragons can probably take one to the Gong too, which would be totally unfair given they're the ********s that started this mess.

It's the worst rule ever. It means until the rule changes it's not possible to have a finals game at Shark Park ever.

Meaning the one from 2008 where we flogged the Raiders could be the last. Good game that was.

 

[skeksis]

Bit daft really, the nrl makes a point of saying they want more people to be able to attend, but there's no way a sharks semi is gonna pack out Allianz or anz. Meanwhile clubs like rooters, doggiez and the bunnies get the advantage. Bs.

 

[SharksMichael]

If two Sydney teams play each other in the semis then neither of them get an advantage. It is when a Sydney team plays away that they lose big time.

When it comes to the Dragons, technically they are half Illawarra, so you could argue that they are a regional team but I doubt the NRL would let them play in Wollongong.

 

[skeksis]

Yet another reason to not only hate the roosters, bunnies or dogs but the dragons too then!

 

[HaroldBishop]

How many weeks will Lima get? To me that's a very grubby tackle and I hope they take a stand on this rubbish. Should get at least 5 weeks imo.

Agree with this. To me it should be quite simple. If the game invloves two Sydney teams play it at ANZ or Allianz. If it's an out of Sydney team play it at the home ground.
