Auckland Nines 2016

And they want barba at fb. He cannot tackle.

 

[Sparkles]

Gee that heart muscle injury is a niggler for Barba... Pulled it again in game three... Honestly, he struggles so much with contact that I'm still not confident he'd make it through 80 mins week in week out.

Talking about being on the wing, why did we have D Fifita defending the wing.

I know he was chilling having a breather but Fmd just got lapped on the last try

He was asking to come off when he went over the sideline and for some reason had to stay on and gets stuck on the wing and cost us.

Never ever should have not made the finals

 

[dylan the villian]

Haha. 2016 dusted, calling it now!

Yeah that's what ****s me, it's unlimited interchange. If he is ****ed pull him off.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Geez some of you guys need to get a grip. It's just the Nines, get over it. If we lose the first four games I'll get steamed but no need to now.

Barba cannot tackle? You're all forgetting the tackle on Creagh last year. When it matters he can do it.

Barba needs to be at fullback this year because Bird needs to be at centre and Val needs to be on the wing. Otherwise we might as well not have him.

I bet he would survive just fine and dominate at fullback

 

[Sir Chadley]

Totally agree DJ.

 

[Bundy Shark]

Why rest Chad and Lewis, stupid decision and the team played with stupid tactics, boring one up stuff.

Annoyed. Least it frees up my afternoon now. No interest in the comp now.

Did you really expect anything else from Flano?

Admittedly I can't watch any games today nor did I watch that game.

It is only the nines but I am thinking my suspicions of us playing the "grind" will continue for season 2016 despite having a stronger roster with more attacking type players.

Prove me wrong Flano, prove to me you aren't a one trick pony coach.

If you aren't gunning to win anything and everything then what the **** are you doing?

This is the exact attitude as to why we've never won anything.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Flannos fault

 

[Long Suffering Sharkie]

So are we officially knocked out then....?

What was the score for game 3?

 

[mattaus]

Masterstroke resting Lewis and Townsend.

Oh well no chance of injuries now

 

[Gards]

lol Flanno you dumb****

Rest key players and try to grind it out on the nines paddock. Can the bloke even do maths?
If he can I bet he took that 12 point point differential as some sort of lead to protect - he can't help himself

 

[Thresher]

At least we didn't sustain any major injuries like some of the other teams. (At least I hope we didn't).

 

[Western Sharkie]

Bright side is:
I get my Sunday back
No chance of major injuries from the tournament now
Manly are walking wounded

 

[Weaponhead]

Finding new ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory..... Since 1967

 

[Long Suffering Sharkie]

So what was the score for game 3......someone?

 

[samshark]

The more things change the more things stay the same.
Coaching at its best. On ya Flanno.

And not to mention. Curtis Scott, Ados-Carr and the kid at the Broncos all killing it whilst we've got that ****ing hack Mitch Brown still running around.
Development and progression at its best. On ya Flanno.

 

[Greg86]

So what was the score for game 3......someone?

18-6 mate. We missed out on for and against.
