2023 NRL Round 1 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. South Sydney Rabbitohs @ Points Bet Stadium Saturday 4 March @ 7:35pm

[Thresher]

embarrassing and lacklustre

 

[Tatus]

This is like getting your first root, but you ended up getting the clap, and then your dick fell off, then you get into a car crash on the way to the dr.

 

[sharkstragic]

I hope they get clogged at training this week that was ordinary

 

[Greg86]

Defending an error is so important.

Our handling errors! What the

We will get calls against us we just need to be better

 

[sharkafar]

Some puzzling calls alright, but you cannot keep dishing up the ball all night and expect too much from the game.

Speaking from experience?

 

[vicsharkfan]

Lucky they lost two middles could have been a lot worse

 

[bort]

Left edge was a shambles
Handling was a shambles
Ref was a shambles (how has the circumstance occurred where sharks can get done for headclash but literally no other team?)

 

[common]

The ref was shithouse.

But no doubt, we did ourselves no favours either. Started strong and then dropped off big time and played some stupid footy. Timings were off, ball control was shocking. Mixed bag that.

We looked gassed and unfit, anyone notice?

Probably caused them to dig deep and lift their effort

That Moylan + Talakai defence was disgusting

 

[Tatus]

Our middle is average. That game was for the taking when Tatola and Arrow went off. We got rolled in the middle. Our execution was crap, we missed a bunch of opportunities and made 1000 comical errors. That edge with Talakai and Moylan is a big worry. Poor poor performance. Nothing to really be happy about.

Shaq Mitchell played 47 minutes and we still **** the bed.

 

[Sutty]

We were so bad and the Souffs were great. Illias will never play a better game, very happy for big Shaq after all his challenges to come back and be fit enough to put in that monster game.

Cook/Murray/Koloamatangi were all great.

We had nobody play to their ability, a classic round 1 sharks game. This is why we should always get away games first up.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Yep we aren't going deep with our middle, no change from the semis.

Looks like we haven't worked on our error rate either but it is round 1 so let's see how we're going in a few weeks.

Very alarming performance.

 

[djhabib]

Meh it's round one. They will get better.

 

[Paul C]

Talakai is NOT a centre. He offers zero threat in attack and has no idea how to defend. He had one game against Manly last year where he made some imbecile his bitch and he has relied on that for nearly 2 years. Get him back as a edge forward. I'd have him on the bench instead of Wade. Wade to Jets.

 

[Tatus]

Hoping @BurgoShark can bring back his breakdowns and run us through south’s tries and our left hand defence. Is it good attack? Terrible defence? Bit of both?

I’m no mathematician, but something doesn’t seem right here

 

[Sutty]

I mean you have to be on the lower end of brains to support the Sharks in the first place let’s be honest.
