Post of the year Chadwick.

Boy - what bad timing to play Hopoate "I don't play Sundays" on a Monday night - he looked dangerous every time he had the ball.

Reynolds looked sharp and apart from Barba we looked really sluggish.

Fifita and Bird are looking good out there though - so glad Feefs has cleaned up his play-the-ball transgressions

Taga needs to go - he lost the ball twice on the first tackle in his hit-ups and gave away a penalty that led to a try ...killing our momentum and it made our job so much harder. I hope Prior is good to go against the Cows.

I need to buy a defibrillator - and teach someone how to operate it before our next game!

They come with robot voice instructions and so are easy to operate but I think I need to start carrying one in a backpack

That scrambling defence for 1st 15 mins the second half, won us the game. I Was just waiting for ********s Reynolds or licaa to bury us...

Don't think Liccha came back in the 2nd half.

No you didn't. It was an infuriating game to watch. We were average and the dogs were getting away with murder in the ruck all night.[/QUOTE]

The dogs always cheat in and around the ruck sometimes unbelievable what they get away with.. Most of the game they bashed us up in the forwards , we really struggled getting out from our line.

I thought Fafita really stood up tonight along with Ennis( We have gotta get a big prop who can give it to the oppo. Brilliant Game by our Backs , Imagine what we could do if our pack can really dominate.

A great win... never in doubt:glasses-cool:

 

[Proud Shark]

Not cheating if the refs let it go. I think it was elliot for them who kept pushing our blokes back down as a second effort and never got penalised. So glad we got there in the end, up up!

]Paul Vaughan should get on the phone to Flanno tonight[/B]. "Good win tonight, but I think I can help next time you come up against a massive pack".

That would be soooo good:Yes:

 

[Sharkyle]

Equal favourites to take the trophy.

Tonight was almost as good as the loss we needed

 

[vicsharkfan]

Just chq stats, gal 12 runs under 100m, need to start him on the bench after origin if prior is back.

 

[vicsharkfan]

Don't think Liccha came back in the 2nd half.

My bad thought I saw his ugly head..

 

[Capital_Shark]

Played horrible but got it done. Put on points when needed and never gave up. Ugly but pleasing.

We'll belt the cows next week.

UP UP CRONULLA!

What a ****ing win that would be, potentially 10 on the trot and a week off.

Mate wouldn't it what!

I think we might of had our minds on next week a bit tonight and just going through the motions. That close one should wake us up I hope.

So long to go and beating them in rd14 means **** all. Would be bloody enjoyable however.

I was at work during the game. Watched a little bit in my break as the dogs went to 18-10 and we threw the ball away on the first as it was intercepted from an offload.

I had a case of piss riding on the game with a work mate who goes for the dogs and was dirty as we went back to work thinking we wouldn't win.

Just caught the end of the replay at home just as Benny Barba scored around the 56th minute mark.

So many stupid mistakes in the closing 10 minutes but to come away with the win after such a poor effort shows the mark of a true champion side! That is the sort of stuff that wins premierships!!!

I'm not sure I've ever seen the Sharks bag a win like that (we usually are the ones losing it) but jeez, isn't it sweet!

... This case of beer is going to taste extra sweet! UP UP!!!

I thought that too. Thought it was weird that there was already news articles taken from the cows talking about the game when we hadn't even played the dogs.

Just back from the game and the win is even sweeter as i was surrounded by cocky bulldogs supporters that were more one eyed than knights fans. Went mental when jimmy kicked the winner while they all sat there very dejected.

On the game we were fairly ordinary but still deserved the win, I'll watch the replay tomorrow arvo but i thought some of the options taken by our halves put us under unnecessary pressure a few times and made the win quite a lot harder than it needed to be but when they give the backs good early ball we carved them up.

Definitely need prior back quickly plus hopefully another prop before june 30.

JT spoke about us bashing him in his post-game interview. They we looking forward to us too just they only had to play Newy.

Next Monday should be a cracker whether you're a Sharkie, Cowgirl or neutral - not one to miss!

 

[Tatus]

What makes this win even sweeter is both my house mates are dogs supporters. I'm going to be a popular man in the morning

They shut down our backline plays pretty well by rushing in. We needed to mix it up a bit by kicking in behind or something to make them second guess it.

Looks like I'm right about the dogs winning !

HAHAHAHAHA
