Auckland Nines Jersey / Tournament

[Greg86]

Even more excited for the nrl to start now so we can rip in show the haters

We weren't robbed. Adam Reynolds just kept us in our own half with a brilliant kicking display.

Though I think that penalty against feki going up for the bomb was BS

This penalty was the ****er..

But yes the Rabbitohs should of won, I didn't think that pass was forward on the first try, Reynolds just way too good.

Who cares if they played their song it's not going to help them win, I'm sure it was more for the fans.

Massive massive props to Valentine Holmes for the pressure kick of the comp. and for the defense in extra time.

Gunna be a good year I have a sneaky feeling.

 

[Gards]

They played it for them before every game in this tournament .......

wankers

I will give credit to the 9's that it seemed less a lottery this year and that the best teams were in the final games. The only real 'luck' came from the inconsistent reffing but i did enjoy not having to endure countless replays. Dunno if we were rubbed, we got a good share of rub of the green through the 2 days

Well I hope our performance won over the hearts and minds of some new fans for Cronulla.

Ayshford, Heigno and Wade made the team of tournament , well done

Calling a penalty against Feki in the air and the dropped ball by the Souths player from our kick. I don't think it was a knock on, but as Voss said, plenty similar to that have been called knock ons. Just seemed like the 50/50 calls went against us (surprise, surprise)

Loved our defence though, especially 1v1 out wide.

 

[Littleshark]

Reynolds effort ensured we couldn't get the ball, that was the difference. It would have been great to win, but this isn't the one we want to win most. Bring on our first premiership

 

[vicsharkfan]

Blakey boy made team of the tournament also wade and heino

 

[Sutty]

Yeah, the thing I liked about our youngsters is they just *are* winners. Those last few minutes of Holmes drawing the centre and passing to Bird, and then moving even further to the sideline and nailing the dropkick conversion. They just have *IT*.

Screw it, move Beale to left centre and line up Bird and Holmes on the right, no worries.

 

[sharkgaz]

Awesome effort guys. At least we know what it feels like to be in a final again. Would have loved to have won it, but I think the loss will make us hungrier ( I hope).

 

[Gards]

Wade gave a good speech thanking everyone, represented the club well on the podium and on the field

Do we get a runners up trophy to put in the cabinet?

 

[Tank]

For those who didn't see it, was it a specific incident where we were robbed, or are you talking in general?

I'm thinking the Feki so called tackle in air

 

[Ibanez]

Disappointing, but what can you do. Great defensive effort at least; proud of the boys.

I thought he spoke well

 

[evertonshark]

The best thing was they showed more heart in that game than the majority of last season (the 2 comeback games aside) and that's got me pumped for the season ahead

 

[dylan the villian]

Isaac Luke's victory speech.....omg

 

[gando2230]

That field goal conversion from Holmes to level the game from the sideline was alltime.
No pressure over the black dot.
Needs to be in the 17 for the sharks.

 

[sharkyman]

Great game, and effort from our boys, but it confirms to me that flanno has learnt nothing whilst away and cant coach for ****. Adam Reynolds put it deep every single game, and we didnt have gards/holmes sitting back waiting for it all game, hence we kept giving them ball. for me that is 101-type stuff and flanno should have picked it, at the least after the first half.

Bit harsh but I get your point

Yeah give them a free overlap with only 9 on the field, good idea.

I thought he spoke well

yeah I know
But he said 'I couldn't be proud of you boys' the silly sausage left out a key word lol
