For the first time this season, when it wasn't required given we were playing a very weakened team - we won the 6 again count for the first time, won the penalty count for the first time - when we least needed it...

And got all the 50/50 calls, and won our challenges.

At least the refs have got it out of their system. It will be back to normal in our next close game.
 
Also first time Sharks have scored 50+ points in a season.

Nice, composed performance. We needed it after the last 2 losses.
Had a strategy (target the Tigers' right) and stuck to it. Most pleasing thing of the afternoon.

@Proud Shark was right. 40+
Padded the f/a nicely.

But I wouldn't read to much into it against a depleted side.

Throw enough **** and some of it sticks I guess! 2/8 isn't the worst strike rate for a big call though. Doing about as well as my tipping.
 
Didn’t get to watch the game live… watching the replay now.. happy that we got the win but we have to be realistic.. they were down 3 of their best players once Douhi went down and we still look a bit clunky… souths could towel Us up next week
Given the topsey Turvey nature of this season and if we go in with a poor attitude we will pay

Spot on. Tigs were very depleted. Hopefully we take some confidence but not cockiness out of this one.
