We dominated both those games. The point I was making is that if we relinquish a lead, I've lost the confidence I had (prior to the Titan's loss) that we can fight back to win.
Agreed BWB, we've suffered from poor discipline all season, and have won on the back of our super strong defence. Obviously fatigue has become an issue with leaking easy points, so if they don't cut out the ill-discipline, they need to step up the defensive effort for the whole 80 minutes.

As some have mentioned going for the 2 at 6-0 killed our momentum. I'm okay with taking the 2 against some teams at certain times but that missed on both counts. We ambushed the Raiders in the first 8-10mins and were well on the front foot, we should have kept applying pressure - they are useless without the ball. I really think that minute or so gave the Raiders the time they needed to go "okay boys, we gotta get into this footy game" and they did.
We went to "game management" and they went to another level.
To concede 6 points while they were down to 12 men is really bad, but the fact we gifted them those points through poor discipline makes it even worse.
Our line speed in D didn't even reach the heights of being ****house, it was non-existent! No kick pressure and they were running 8-10m off the ruck before worrying about passing.
Its been a few years since I've wanted to switch off before fulltime. I'm ok with losing but not when they cave in and **** themselves.

i dont see the big deal about our non-try. some random offloading and a regulation kick to the wing
much better try of the year contenders out there

100% would have been. Would have been up there as best try over the last 10-20 years.

Agree he was watching the ball. Still a penalty every day of the week though.

Agree. Penalty for sure. It sucks the bunker can go that far back though. Fifita proceeded to fend off 4 or 5 more tacklers after the obstruction. They had ample chance to **** the play down. Correct call though
HaroldBishop

Disagree with this, we played extremely dumb by continually giving them penalties. Three penalty goals while he was off. Brain dead footy from us, so dumb.
Sir Chadley
Jaws
Well that was wrong. Papalli went off and then Townsend took the tap and passed it to Boogs who dropped it. If we'd been more careful and as HB said, not played dumb footy, we were win with a chance of winning.
It was probably the dumbest we had played in a long time.
CrazyMatt
Jaws
True, but the Raiders penalty goal tactics were mint.

I don't see what's so ingenious about it tbh, quite obvious really.

You don't see it a whole lot though.

forget for a second that the sharks lost, as league fans who the **** wants to watch blokes stand around having a conference for 30 seconds about a penalty and then taking 2 minutes to kick a regulation ****ing penalty goal and then seeing that repeated 3 times in a row
not blaming the raiders for that but I should have just walked out then cause obviously the time for the actual football part of the match was evaporating away
if the NRL arn't gunna stop the clock for dead ball situations then give these goal kickers an aggressive 30 second shot clock, step up take your kick or forfeitt it and **** off back to your side of the field. chewing up the clock should not be a viable or legitimate strategy. Let the teams sort it out over 80 mins of actual game time.
what a waste of everyone's night
