Strange feeling leaving the ground today. Despite the win I felt really flat, obviously due to our second half effort. Didn't feel like singing the song either which is not bloody right at all.
As has been said on here first half was awesome. As good as the 26-0 scoreline against the Roosters a few years ago. Our passing was crisp, our defence sound, second phase play from offloads just out of this world. Our intensity was very high, we had the Broncs back pedalling and they were shell shocked.
And then we had half time.
Now I bet every Sharks fan in that ground had the thoughts of coming out in the second half and keep our feet on their throats. The only guys in Black, White and Blue that didn't were the 17 players on the field. I don't know what they were thinking but the intensity dropped so much you'd be forgiven for thinking the Broncos upped the ante. But I don't think they played amazingly better in the second half, we just dropped off and allowed them back into the game.
It was a relief that we won rather than the pure joy we should have felt. Ennis was just brilliant today. God knows what we'll do if he doesn't play. I thought Chad and Maloney are looking better each week as well. Even though he was gassed in the second half, Gal was strong. I hope he keeps playing like that all year.
6 wins in a row is a great result and in two weeks against the Knights we should get our 7th. But anyone thinking we should towel them up needs to look at our second half today again to realise there is every possibility of them making things very tough for us.
