Not sure why we are discussing referees.

We had 3 times more tackles in the opposition 20. Including about 15 tackles in a row and didn't even look like scoring.
The refs are just one small side of the discussion.

What you are talking about is the real issue along with defense.

When Ramien's back I'd like to see Talakai return to 2nd row. Then we have a complete team.
That’s crazy.. Talakai has been one of our best players for so long - which ever edge gets Tracey at centre we will end up suffering, you need a strike centre to finish off the plays or make the breaks and Talakai is more that then Tracey ever will be

That’s because they kept giving us restarts for being offside and holding and ref didn’t bother to bin any of them

Defense was not good enough.

They were better than us in all areas - in particular we were rolled through the middle .

However despite this , there might have only been a try in it had Manu gone to the bin - as he should have .We can take some heart from this .

We need the bye badly to reset …

I think we showed in the 2nd half that we're capable of matching it when we shake off our self doubt

Who wants to put their hand up for Sharks Psychologist?

That was a pretty disgraceful performance tonight, we had a few milestone games tonight & we put in a performance like that to start off with. That was good to get those 16 points & fight back, we were within a chance until Roosters scored that try after our final try out of the blue. After our small fight back maybe their 36 points looked a bit harsh on us unfortunately.

I think the 36-16 score line was a true indication of the Rooster’s dominance and our ineptitude.
If it had of been reffed fairly we probably could have had a fair crack, like 30-16 or something

Agreed, poor game and scoring 16 points against a team that embarrassed us shouldn’t be something to be proud of

The thing is we have too many mediocre players in the team and no genuine superstars.
Compare Teddy to Kennedy for example last night, world apart and it shows.
Id even argue that there isnt a single Sharks player who would be top 5 in theor position in the NRL

We are where we should be.About 7th or 8th is right.We scraped past Parra but who else have we beaten? Flogged by Storm Lapped by Roosters Broncos even toyed us
We play decent sides we get beaten. Our D isnt good enough.We really arent near the top level yet

Even Raiders best us twice which us pathetic

We're ok playing likes of Wests, Knights, Titans and Warriors - thats our level

Stick a fork in 2022 cause our season is done.
Let's see what 2023 brings and whether Fitz is up for the job

The morning after…At least the titans were good for 40 minutes we were putrid, even if someone got sent to the bin just cast your minds back to the raiders game they spent 30 mins with one less and we bottled it. we enjoyed a 15 min run in a 80 minute game. Without dale and bhu our engine room is shot… I’m confident the Fitz at the press conference isn’t the one that greets the playing group behind closed doors I’m thinking he will flog them this week. Did like the look of our new boy just has a presents about him.
