[davido_72]

Yep already had 2 wanks over it

 

[deano the p]

This has got me so pumped for the season to start!

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

This type of footy bores me. Give me 13 a side any day. Havent really see too much spectacular **** in the 14 games or whatever ive watched today.

 

[skeksis]

So I think Knights and Titans are on equal 1st with a PD of 6, followed by us on -3 and the Tigers in last on -9. So we realllly need to belt the Titans tomorrow and hope that the Tigers don't score too many points if we want to progress.

Regardless of for and against the two winners tomorrow from our pool will make it to the finals

 

[skeksis]

Well yes I guess I was just pointing out our current position relative to where we want to be tomorrow

 

[Gil]

but if all teams finish on equal points like today the I hope we can improve our for and against, I think we will need to.

 

[Gil]

So what time is our first game tomorrow ?

 

[skeksis]

10am

 

[fizman]

We only have one game against the Titans and that is the last of the Round robin games - win we are in, lose we are out.

Only 3 games in the round robin

For and against is of no relevance, unless there are two draws.

 

[skeksis]

I mean at the end of the day we only need to win our game and we qualify; but the PD would make a diff who we end up against in the other pool.

 

[stormshark]

So for those who watched,did we take the tigers lightly,have we irrevocably unravelled or will we likely regroup and power up the middle through the titans?or better tactics?

 

[skeksis]

Had Prior held on to the ****ing ball, and Jono not been such a nuffie we would have won that - even with Stapo and Gards acting like nuffies. If they can tell Fifita and Gards to pull their heads in, and Stapo stops thinking he's superman, we have a shot.

Typical sharks loss , we beat ourselves . There are good signs
Get wright out of the side and make sure brown keeps his spot , he didn play against the tigers

OK thanks guys

I watched 4 games including the Sharks v Tigers and thought that it was the fastest paced and highest quality game. I will be hugely disappointed if we miss out because we certainly should have put the Tigers away for the many reasons that have already been discussed.

Some very poor options and decision making were costly.

I don't believe we can win the competition, but I do believe if we can make it through the preliminary rounds we could finish in a Semi Final (Last 4)

 

[1990 sharkie]

Priors drop ball was a good effort by the defence , he was in the in goal on his back and as he rolled over tigers got a hand on the ball
lets hope carneys leg isnt serious at all becuase without him we got no chance

 

[1990 sharkie]

The most entertaining game today id say was sharks vs knights and even commentators think so

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Fact- stapo got out leaped by one of the oldest players in the comp.

Fifita makes a stupid penalty, gardner backs it up getting binned. We let 2 tries in in that time.

We had it won if that didnt happen no doubt.

Hopefully Carney isnt played if he is even 1% doubtful.
