I don't want to take anything away from a very enjoyable drubbing, but geez the cowboys were putrid

I think there is a lot of value in that comment

Warriors with SJ as we all know are rocks and diamonds have been since Jesus was a boy
SJ= rocks and diamonds
Chad=rocks
Really happy and love sitting back watching footy rest of weekend now. But holy hell the cows have fallen off a cliff this year.

the most disappointing thing is

the media; waking up this morning
these num nuts, all they have focussed on is 'How woeful the Cowboys were" - "oh poor cowy boys have let themselves down" - "ohhh the headaches for Todd Payten"

we aren't penrith, parramatta, brisbane, souths, storm, roosters - we aren't an NRL favoured team

but no recognition of how the sharks were in 'beast mode' early on and continued to pressure them. it was a dominant performance

yet if it was one of teams mentioned above - headlines would be different; it would be how Cleary and Jerome lui put on a clinic against the cowboys; taught them a lesson! that sort of line.

Bloody great effort Cronulla! That defensive effort tonight, maybe the last 10 of the 1st half but in general it was phenomenal. I wonder whether this win tonight can now be an official turning point of the season, 3 straight now. Very proud of that performance tonight, every player did their job and all of them stood up proud tonight.

It looks like the official turning point of the season was the Warriors game. The boys are still talking about it. In hindsight, maybe that was a blessing.

Great performance tonight. For the first time we showed that killer instinct. Eye of the tiger, baby!

 

[Milkshark]

They love Sharks now with Hynes and Fitz at the helm.

That game looks like a case of where the cowboys are at.

 

[MMsharks]

Good point, but Cowboys are number 1 for me.

yeah there are some I dislike so much more than others at times
hahahahaha

ebbs and flows!

We will get there and they will have to respect us - even with a heavy heart… and it will be all the more sweeter for us.

well said mate
calmed me down in my rant!

weekend is now all the more sweeter - and we have a longer turnaround to prep;
we usually suck at Magic round

Understand where you are coming from, but I’m happy being under the radar.

in saying that Payten didn’t really praise us much in the presser.
Said that they just weren’t good enough rather than, the Sharks didn’t allow us to play and then whinged about his players being disciplined and injured!

He set the narrative for the jurnos!

 

[Wiz]

The cowboys Facebook is like going back in time to when Chad was at sharks still:

“No more golf until…..”
“No more vlogs until…..”

Poor cnts do they have any borts or burgs on their forum trying to justify his shtness?

Although we did play well. The cowboys were definitely poor. I don't think we maintained our intensity well in the 2nd half. Most of our points came from when they had players in the bin, which made us look better.

Happy for the win, and the score line, but lets not kid ourselves.

Nobody is saying we were perfect (and the team knows it too) but let's be happy with the big score line and the big shift in attitude. It's not like the Panthers would have put 70 on them. At most it would have been 50 or something.

I am not suggesting we are. But people complaining about the headlines. Truth is we were good, but the cowboys sucked eggs.

Fox Sports has 'Hynes leads irresistible Sharks masterclass as diabolical Cowboys humiliated'.

First half of that sentence is pretty nice!

 

[Thresher]

I can't remember seeing Val play worse.

For those at the game, were the crowd being nice to him?

That headline... Jesus... must be getting paid by the hyberbole

 

[Jaz]

I left out quotation marks around irresistible and diabolical, so I'm guessing they took that from the commentary.

 

[djhabib]

Friday is very much improved after a win like that

Yep, another article commenting on the commentary.
