this is a massive win for us - good work boys ! We didn't play well but the 2 points is sweet. It comes down to consistency now.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

You mean Newcastle.....

No he means melbourne. Clinic v newy to prep us for battle

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Conceeded more penalties, missed more tackles. 1 less error.....

Can't win games with 27/42 completion rate.

Occasionally a team tees off, but generally you play what is in front of you. Parra were disappointing, but it was a good performance by the Sharks. To say they didn't play well is going too far.

It was a good win from a table perspective though. Things are well on track.

Not a great performance but I didn't expect us to win tonight so I'm delighted.

Yep totally agree on all counts.. a win is a win and any win is good.

33 missed tackles, 13 incomplete sets, 10 conceeded penalties... that is not 'playing well'. What we did when we held the ball was good. But we were lucky we had an opposition that was worse, and not able to take advantage of our poor discipline

 

[endevour shark]

football in europe is bigger than rugby league will ever be and there are games and even leagues that have to be played in empty stadiums

sport survives without fans, it doesnt survive without the corporate dollar behind it. that is a fact

If there is no fans... there is no corporate dollar, Corporates are not in the charity Business.

Sorry Cranky but can't agree. I think we were better than them but I don't think we played well.
2 points is still 2 points thou and I'll take them. Newcastle won't be the push over we all think, so hopefully we "turn up" and do a number on them. Aka Raiders game.

I agree with the penalties , but the swarming Bee like defence makes that 33 missed tackles count a load of horse ****.

 

[sharkyboy]

The way we scrambled after gutho made that break and passed to French was incredible.

Not many teams would have shut that down. Think it was chad who ran down French too. He's been good this year

Im not saying we played like ****. We did a lot of good things right when we werent dropping the ball. We generally have hight missed tackle counts because we tend to have a guy (maloney, wade) rush up and try to stop play, which he bounces off (missed tackle) then the tackle made by 2 others.

Im just dirty on our ball handling. Been bad in every game.

 

[evertonshark]

Our handling and discipline was poor and has been all year except the last 50 of the Raiders game

I'm not fussed though. It will improve. The attitude was there tonight which was pleasing since it was missing last week

 

[fitz]

2 points is 2 points and I'll take that.

But...

So much work to do if we're going to go deep into September or even early October if we're lucky.

exactly, turn over that much ball against melbourne we'll get embarrassed

Knights by 20 guaranteed now....

Welcome to the forum mate.

 

[sharkgaz]

At least our goal line defence was good. Scrappy game though.
