NRL Round 16 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs. Brisbane Broncos @ Pointsbet Stadium Sunday 7 July 2019 @ 4:05pm

[Capital_Shark]

Here's some perspective, we've only won one more game than the Cows and Warriors.

Ouch! Not surprising though, we're playing like them so it fits.

Rewatched the game and saw a few things...
Stop tossing it side to side every second tackle. We're stretching them but it gotten predictable.
Stop the short ball to Nikora every other tackle. SJ needs to change things up and choose the moment for that short ball.
Stop strolling back in defence. The lack of urgency was baffling, and allowed Brisbane to constantly stroll up the field.
Someone please do Dugan a favour and put him down. He looks miserable and broken. And still one of our best.
Moylan is so hit and miss wth his passing. It's tits or toes.

Overall the forwards need to take on more workload (except for Nikora, who they need to go to less. Poor bugger is taking every second hit up). We need to straighten up. And we need urgency in defence. Fix those things and I'm actually optimistic.

Yep to all of that.

I'll add kick pressure to that.

And the extra week of suspension for Andrew came back to bite us.

He was needed in the middle yesterday to help control the middle.

Haas ran amok.

Andrew plays we win that game.

I know... Had the game on at home but was running around doing stuff, so wanted to actually watch and see wtf was going on.

And was only the first half to be fair... I'm not a nihilist!

But... but the 1% chance he got let off to play for Tonga!?

 

[SharkShocked]

Anyone listened to Morris' press conference yet?

Yep - he looked like he had just had an emotionally charged conversation with someone prior to walking in.

His body language looked a bit sketchy, wouldn't be surprised if there is big dramas in the playing group.

 

[brently]

- what about 3 Sharks standing around looking at a loose ball and Segyaro comes from a metre or so away to dive on it when any 1 of 3 Sharks could've fallen on it.

Forgot to mention that in my post, Cap. Definitely another clear sign that we have serious problems.

I must be, then. Taped the game and took the fam to see Toy Story (good dad, idiot or both...). Walked out of the cinema and some droob blurts out the result. and then when I got home and watched it.

Not having Fifita yesterday made no difference.

We should have won by plenty yesterday even without him and Wade.

We got bullied by their pack, Fifita may have made enough of a difference we were dreadful but accidentally won. He wouldn't have made us good though.

He was scratching like a strung out junky.

 

[Sir Chadley]

I sat there at one point on Sunday as Chad missed his fourth kick at goal, that we had scored 10 tries in three games and only 2 of them were converted.

I don't think we've ever had that problem before.

 

[Capital_Shark]

It's on their minds now that they can't kick 'em for ****. Chad's expression after missing was "that'd be right".

 

[Proud Shark]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think both Chad and SJ missed them all off to the right. Surely at some point you just over compensate to the left.

 

[Gards]

that assumes they have executed the kick exactly the same way and wind conditions are same ect.

I just saw it now, he did looked very down & I wouldn't be surprised if he'd just blasted the group in the dressing sheds, obviously wouldn't have wanted to do that but he probably does because of the same performance 3 games running.

 

[sharkboy18]

At least we generally aren't having issues scoring tries, it doesn't help either that 90% of them generally are almost in the corner though, we should try running the ball in closer if we can get in behind the line.

chad missed a dead set sitter to the left
