My thoughts (for what it's worth)
Average at best against a poor Titans team.
We looked lost in attack at times evidenced by the 'power play' 3 times.
On the team:

Miller looked decent- but can only step off his left foot and became predictable. Still very raw but heaps of potential to develop

Outside backs did there job. Tracey just grafts and is a jack of all trades (will be a grwat #14), talakai had some nice touches when Wade wasnt in the way and if he srixla at left centre will only get better
Katoa and Mulitalo did their jobs and saved a few tries that oass from Mulitalo to Hynes was beautiful.

Moylan - passenger. Still dont see what he offers to us. His lack of presence puts even more pressure on Hynes. And why he didnt support Wilton when he made that break was ludicrous.

Hynes - Still develoing but definitely in need of a proper game managing halves partner to really unlock his potential.

Rudolf - Gone backwards this season. Needs to be standing up and being counted esp with so many front rowers down. Maybe bench impaxt when Uele and Finucane are back.

Brailey - phenomenonal. My MoM. Great running game from dummy half and top service too.

Hunt - big body, runs straight- Like Rudolf will be a great bench forward when Uele and Finucane return

Nikora and Wade. Both garbage. Missed tackles, dropped balls, no impact.

McInnes - beast. Best running forward on ground

Fifita - id actually try and keep him In 2023 if he can accept a basement contract. Sorted us out when ge came on and fires the boys up.

Trindell - whats the point? Literally has a show and go which everyone reads. NSW cup player at best.

Wilton - should be starting at 2nd row. Isnt bench impact.

Tolman- reliable but thats it, zero impact- time for glue factory old boy

Pretty harsh mate.

I will say on Fifita- it's the straightest and hardest ive seen him run in a while. Was good to see.

Probably same reason nobody else did either.
Even McInnes was jogging.

Fifita was buggered about 5 mins into second half and lucky there were a couple breaks in play to buy him a little more field time.

Going decent for 9th choice middle though

Would have been well suited to the year we had unlimited interchange!

Missing 4 starters at present so overall not a bad performance , i would like to see us double down when we establish a decent lead , too often some players think the job done and drop off effort and concentration .

still struggling as a team - defense, discipline, bit lost in attack at times

but no doubt some good combos out there have formed, some brilliant individual performances and good to jag another away win as was getting worried we were turning into Shark Park specialists. we needed the win even if it was bit ugly but we got it done and now we regroup for next game.

was good to see the boys pumped up and really celebrating try's and forced turnovers ect. again

bit of that early season Sharks spirit and excitement started to come back

Agree, earlier this season we were playing better footy than what we are now, conversely, the Roosters weren’t playing well, still aren’t but there showing improvement as the season ticks along.
What worries me is, we are showing the same signs as t what we have been throwing up for far too long & in previous seasons.
Not being resilient in a arm wrestle.
Letting in soft tries
Giving up cheap penalties
If getting to a lead, clocking off & not being ruthless which reeks or complacency.

We are only x 11 games in & sit in a decent position/points on the table but it could have been so much better, I can cop us not l beating the Storm, to dro both games v Raiders is absolute shite, to lose to the Broncos is ordinary but I’ll give them some slack as it’s reported we had 50% of the squad with the flu.
On current form, & now our squad weakens with injury & suspension, it’ll be a hell of a effort to beat the Roosters.

We look lost in attack a lot lately, the first half yesterday was terrible. Going side to side way too much.

Yet the Roosters dropped a game to the Dogs.

Yeah our attack was sht house, blaming the lack of Kennedy for it.

Not keen on how we played yesterday we would’ve lost against many other teams, not sure how to feel about us at the moment but a solid win against roosters would make it make sense

only on a few occasions over the last few games, nothing will happen on the 5th. someone ends up wrapped up.
it's like no one knows or hears the call. and we get caught with it.

Huh! 🤔

Miller's debut was classy, and he was among the best on ground for the men from the Shire in last weekend's loss to the Gold Coast Titans as he ran for almost 300 metres and scored an excellent try.

Sloppy sloppy sloppy!
How f’n hard is it??? 🤦🏻‍♂️
Wow. Very sloppy indeed.
