Very touching to see Paul greens children in the dressing room participating in the team song

Nice to see we got finally got his son into a Sharks jersey.

Nicho gave him his game worn jersey. And the medal

That’s gangster

**** me.
Is there a better role model in the game?

I don’t think so.

Middle forward rotation last night.

Excludes Jack Williams 10 minutes in the second row at the end.

Red = went off injured.
Green = replaced an injured player.

4 weeks for Nanai. Fines for the other 2.

Gee I hope Payten suggests that he fights the charge.

After all “he got up and threw the ball at him so must not be to bad”!

He should have gotten 6 weeks (discounted)
BHU is likely to be out much longer than that!

Hess is lucky he didn’t get sent off. And a fine for a deliberate trip is ridiculous
1 -2 wks minimum

Yeah. Tripping is a really odd one. It's the one thing that they have become more tolerant of in the last 30 years. Kick a bloke like that in 1993 and you probably get sent off and a 6 week stint on the sideline (after being mugged and punched in the face a few times).

If we see one ACL, broken leg or ankle from a play like that, I'm sure the NRL with prove to be their reactive selves and start sending guys off for it.

Not very often you even get binned for a trip these days.

Shame for Origin... was kind of hoping he'd get picked for Qld

Yep was a 100% send off back in the day.

I know they generally get a fine these days but that was a bad one last night, could have very easily resulted in an injury.

Should have received a week.

It was moving into kick territory rather than just chucking a foot out wasn’t it

 

[Sir Chadley]

I haven't had a chance to watch the full game as yet, but will try to do so later this afternoon.

I was keeping tabs on the score last night and was surprised just to see it go up and up and up!

I watched the Kayo Mini when I got home, some lovely moves for our tries!

Just looked up some stats - we have scored the most tries in the comp (equal with Broncos) with 40 tries and our backs have scored 80% of them (32 out of 40).

Will and Ronnie on 9 tries just one behind Siva from the Eels and then comes Sione on 5 with Jesse on 4. Moylan has 2 and Nicho, Sifa and Tricky have 1 each.

In the forwards, Nikora has 4 tries, Tieg 3 and Blayke with 1.

 

[Milkshark]

Let’s hope the team doesn’t get carried away with that win. All the highlights are great, but it’s what happens at the end of the year that matters.

One of the most blatant for ages, for sure.
I thought the hip drop was pretty bad, too. The Cows just didn't give a **** in the end.

Completion rate was awesome, too. And that's including the fans

Hard to get a gauge of how well we are playing with the poor opposition, but last night was nice. We look like a proper team ATM. Everyone playing their role. To do it missing two of our most important forwards is even more impressive.

It was good to see the team play the 80, do the little things right and rack up a solid scoreline (and stop one on the other side). It's all we can ask against that quality of opposition. Let's hope now that they can keep it up when they face some adversity.

 

[Patrick]

I got exactly what I wanted, but I'm still petty - was disappointed we didn't get 50!

Great win, Nicho is in awesome form, defence was way better (although to be fair cows didn't throw much at them).
