Wow we are playing so well, looking really good out there. Slick fast attack, and aggressive tight defense. Good ball handling and improvement with our discipline. Things have started to click very quickly in this side and that's super impressive from the players and coaching staff. Every player looks a better version of themselves.
This is the most motivated and determined they have looked since 2016
Don't have to **** myself every time the opposition has the ball anymore or cringe in attack when we try some desperate play that goes over the sideline or gets spilled. Sharks are a proper footy side again! woohoo
how good is it
Thought we handled Pinga exceptionally well on Friday, for a player that used to cause us alot of headaches we really shut him down and gave him no opportunities or space. He tried to get involved alot from first receiver (over playing? desperate? lack of space / field position created by knights due to our punishing smashing defense?) but we didn't have a bar of it and shut him down every time.
We caused him to have a very poor game riddled with errors and lack of rhythm at a time when he is trying to make himself look as valuable as possible. Knights fans complaining he not worth the $1 Million LOL yea no ****, hardly any players in the NRL are.
With the wind I guess it would have been difficult but we also struggled with our kicking over Parra too although if I remember correctly that game may have been a bit windy too? In saying that, if we don't take our kicks it takes supporters a lot longer to feel confident for a win. I like Hynes don't get me wrong but I didn't feel overly confident until the last 4 minutes when we'd already scored 3 tries.
I think his technique (how he actually approaches, kicks the ball and follows through) is solid it's just a matter of adjusting his radar and that's a good thing if it's just an accuracy thing and learning how to manage the wind ect, it's not like he needs a complete over haul to his method or starting from scratch or anything.
It's not like his technique is flawed causing him to shank them or something IMO. He strikes the ball well and has shown he can nail them in some games so I think with more practice and tutoring he will come good for us and be more consistent. maybe make some slight adjustments to how he sights and line them up.
Those Saifiti brothers are weapons. If they ever thought of relocating would be more than happy to house them @ the Sharks.
they didn't have a particular great game against us on Friday night? especially jacob, errors , missed tackles ect. We are stacked with quality forwards I don't feel like some Newcastle offcuts at the moment
