started that second half really well. which set the second half. but we clock off. that is the biggest concern

can't wait to see Lachlan miller on a dry track.
Trindall??? not sure about him for the no.14

what the hell was the sione Katoa blow over??? I just couldn't;t see what was going on there.
I like to see him firing up

Looked gassed out there again with about 10 to go. I wonder if Fitzy is keeping the training load heavy to up fitness levels more?

Finishing the game with Teig in the centres is a little worrisome for Talakai.

2 points and back to 4th... big game next week.

We don’t drop those Raiders games & Broncos & we are equal first w/ Panthers, hope Fitz had pointed that out, instead we are now in a log jam, so important to turn up without complacency

Anyone else really enjoy listening to what Fitz has to say in the presser? Seems very intelligent to me.

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
