Still believing over there eggy me boy?

Sorry Lads , really thought we could have pulled that one out of the fire .
On a brighter note , went to meet and greet on Sunday morning .
Everyone has put that game behind them and regrouping for the charge to the semis .
Lyle said don't believe the press , he is going nowhere and has heaps of stuff to tick off his Sharks list .
Beale said the team honestly believes they can beat ANY time on their day .
Lewy played the game a bit flat after severe food poisoning / vomiting 2 days before the game .Felta bit taxed out there .
Someone asked Flanno when will his son make first grade and he believes he could see some game time as early as next year .
And the Best for last. My mate went to every forward and asked if they could belt Josh Mcquire when they play Broncs .
They were ALL keen for that , especially Wade . Taga said if his last game is ever against Broncos " he will take him out ' in a joking comment.
Great Morning after an ordinary evening .

I know they're pro football players but you train all weak do video analysis run out warm up, then come out for kick off to be greeted to a monsoon must have some sort of negative impact on your
Mindset.

100% , Chad said it was virtually impossible to grubber thru with those pools of water near the try-line amongst other factors .

Agreed. If you were to pinpoint the core issue it was that Taylor made Bird his bitch.

This. Taylor is an ok first grader but Bird made him look like a 22 yo Lockyer. This was a close game without Bird's disgusting defensive work. He should have been hooked for Nu after the second one, but Seggy must have needed to come off. Swapping Chad to that side was a pretty obvious sign that Flano was fed up with Bird's ineptitude.

Bird wasnt the only bad player

Agreed. He was probably the worst, but he's an easy target now we know he's leaving.

I rewatched the Grand Final after SOO last Wednesday. It was like watching another team. Prior was a brick wall. Feki going past three defenders to get out of the in-goal. Every player seemed to be at their best. Hopefully Flanno can get them back into that headspace.

Easy target or not, he was dreadful. Watching live (at the game) and without seeing any stats I would have said the Sharks were the better team in terms of building attacking pressure etc. The Titans just seemed to score every time they got in our 20. They got a couple of lucky bounces for tries and one for a dropout, but the other tries they didn't even have to work for - they just ran at Bird and scored. No sustained pressure. No dominating possession and field position ... just get inside the 20 and run a simple play at one guy.

To shag someone on such a heavy track too. Getting 30 put on you in that weather id like 50 on a dry track.

Yeah, all soft as **** tries as well. That's crept into our game a bit lately, some of the Storm's tries recently against us were embarrassing as well.

Gallen - 21 runs for 180m and 50 tackles in those heavy conditions, would be sore the next day.

I wish Taga went into every game wanting to do that to someone.
