2023 NRL Finals Week 1 - Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks vs Sydney Roosters, 7:50pm Saturday 9th September @ PointsBet Stadium

[SF]

Disappointing night… really lacking in atmosphere and noise in the crowd too, even in the Sharks sections.

But it was a home final

Lol home ground advantage...

 

[Wiz]

Does anybody know why the sharks crowds are the quietest ? Genuine question

In 2016 we were the craziest but the last few years we’ve had very quiet crowds

Funny hey. This year at Shark Park....6 wins 6 losses.

Always been that way mate.

Nah in 16 our crowds were way more wild - maybe it was the whole set up/team

Now it’s a lot more tame

Question I've always asked also. My take on it is that they're too prim and proper and that losing doesn't hurt as much as it does elsewhere e.g. Parramatta or Penrith.

I've been going to Shark Park since the early 80s, never been a great atmosphere there.

 

[Sir Chadley]

The lack of noise is crazy. It’s almost like the crowd expect something bad to happen. You can hear a pin drop most times. Can’t explain it though.

I like it much more when we’re a rag tag bunch

Flanno, ennis, Fifita, bird etc it rubs off on the crowd because the team has character

The squad/coach/culture we have now is almost completely opposite for better or worse

 

[Gards]

We were solid especially defensively but we had no short kicking game tonight. Long kicking nothing special either.

Goal kicking really cost us.

Couldn't get in position for field goal, were too shallow.

Not a night for our halves to auction off their boots.

Those brands will want their names covered up on the boots next time.

Maybe that's it, they always expect something negative to happen because we've never had a winning culture/mentality. Tonight's game proved it. Team always finds a way to shoot itself in the foot and find a way to get beat.

If they are a team that is relying on the smallest advantages to get a win, then there are issues.

The quality sides excell no matter where they play.

This team is tame

 

[Pishposh46]

@HB just to add more salt into your wounds, Davey Warner is on 97 no.

Hard

I hate it

If Flanno gets the dragons going better then us next year that’s the nail in the coffin for me

I can’t watch the Sharks MVP take over the arch rivals to bigger heights then us

Zero chance

 

[Shortfin Mako]

The Roosters got away with murder all night. Manu High tackles. Forward passes galore.

Having said all that, we are a dumb team. We should have scored at least one or two tries when they were one man down. If we converted the tries we would have won. How can Trindall kick that first one out?

We make too many stupid mistakes.

 

[Proud Shark]

Honestly the most disappointing loss I can remember. We should win that game 100/100 times. Decision making at every step of the way in the last 30 was abysmal. That's on the spine and coach.
