NRL Round 16: Cronulla Sharks vs Brisbane Broncos, Sunday 4th July @ 2pm. Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

[Wiz]

Nobody brought it up before you did and I was letting it go, even though I asked you to explain why but you never did. But then you decided to post that little cheap shot “careful cant say that” bull**** to have a dig at people who disagreed with you, including me. So yes my reaction was justified and you are better than cheap little **** like that.

Get over it you sound like a little btch

 

[MMsharks]

Bunker can’t rule on forward pass (as we all know). That was just a total BS call to cover up the touchiest ass (as we all agree on).

well every game a bobble is constituted a knock on - in mid air not hitting the ground or other player. it should be set now

BUT we will never see it again - they didn't want another balls up like the Parra game last year

 

[CrazyMatt]

I still stand by my post in that SJ seemed like he wasn’t putting in today (disinterested) and others agreed with me. I just happened to be the first to raise it.

The rest of our exchange is just emotion cos we both got pissed at how badly the team was playing against the equal last placed side.
I’m happy to leave it at that and move on.

I completely disagree, I think he was trying but he was off like most of the team, but enough about that.

I wasn’t pissed because of the emotion of the game, I was pissed with the post. In saying that I should of been a bit calmer in my post, I’m sorry. I’m happy to leave it if you are.

Stay out of it dip****. I couldn’t care less what your arrogant little arse thinks. I actually have respect for Westy, your just irrelevant.

Neither do I, but you are way too emotional. Get off the forum and take a breath

Agree to disagree re SJ, but we are both entitled to have our own opinions.
Regarding the bold bit…..

Thank you for your irrelevant opinion. On your way now thanks as this is absolutely none of your business, plus me and Westy have sorted it out.

Thanks son

As much as the refs were awful, we had our chances and we were garbage too.

I agree we were garbage
But I’m not sure we had the side out there to overcome the ref either

Was that bobble ruling a new interpretation that was pre-warned or did they just do it on the spot?

I don’t know if they’re going to want to pull that up every game.

Broncos wanted to win more. End of story.

Presumably they could always rule a ‘tap on’ as a knock on (instead of a forward pass, which doesn’t make a lot of sense tbh) but that was a pass action not a tap on action

 

[HaroldBishop]

Bloody frustrated but that was a cracking game of footy

Yep, not surprised in the slightest by that result, as soon as Journo's raised the 4 in a row Bs, we were gonna read our own press and **** the bed, in quite an important game.This just aint that good a team.

 

[Tank]

When as a club are we going to get this right.Losing to bottom teams seems to be our thnig.We lost to Dogs and Broncos few years back when they were crap as well
Our line speed and shape in D was embarrassing
There was a lack of direction from Brailey primarily as runners weren't available
There was a real lack of vigour in our runs and D
So losses to Dogs and Broncos and we see ourselves in the mix...Think not
Johnson had the touch of a rapist today....honestly
Anyway like I said I'm not shocked...I'm pissed off but not shocked

 

[samis]

Does anyone else feel like our bench usage was a bit off?

apart from carrying hiroti without any game time broncos double interchange around the 19th minute mark led to them rolling through the middle fairly easily. we didnt respond until one change in the 25th and another 30 minutes in.

Also only used 6 for the game.

Apparently was a pretty high chance moylan would be out and they knew about it. Shoulda ran 4 forward bench and rotated the workload.

18 minutes BHU? wats doin hannay?

Katoa had a try taken off him a few years back when he juggled the ball (over a defenders arm).
They said he intentionally knocked it forward over the defender and took it off him. That call was BS at the time as it was a genuine juggle, as this was.
Yes, the touchie should have pulled it back for a forward pass, but they missed it so the bunker should have simply ruled on a knock on (which it wasn’t as the ball didn’t touch another player, nor did it hit the ground).
Ref director will come out on Monday and defend the decision but it was a BS decision.

I remember that BS also
Katoa is cursed?

 

[sharkboy18]

That was a very frustrating game to watch, we always find a way to lose to the bottom teams, don't know how we do that. Broncos were on a different level today, they seemed so much more determined, we always give the bottom teams a game with hardly any effort, look how many easy metres we gave the Broncos all afternoon, they made over 60-70 per set just about. We tried at times but we stuffed a few chances up ourselves, should have scored more then 3 tries.

It did touch another player. Ramien. He juggled it then batted it onto Ramien which went forward which is the knock on. It sucks but it is the rule. The ball was promoted forward. If he hadnt juggled it, and it was a genuine pass overlooked, then its a try
