Round 1 2014: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v Gold Coast Titans, Monday 10 March 7:00pm @ Remondis Stadium

[hamsy44]

leutele had 85m off 12 runs = 7.08m per run

wright had 56m off 8 runs = 7m per run

feki had 93m off 12 runs = 7.75m per run

ayshford had 38m off 7 runs = 5.42m per run

yeh LOL

Ricky and Feki were hungry for the ball. They have heart. Jono is stupid and can really find a way to **** up a try (gagan would have scored off morris's kick) and Johnno Bravo needs to keep his hair in place no its not surprising he doesn't go looking for work.

I don't buy this crap about players not getting the ball go find it and make something happen.

 

[A.Snowden]

Yeah dont know what game those Muppets in pink were watching, I would have given Kelly's try they disclosed, but zillman no try and Kelly's intercept I thought was off side as well

hahaha, bingo.

there was a fluffy news piece, as fluffy as ayshford's hair, about how he had an amazing offseason, and how he cant wait to rip in. when is he gonna do it? he didnt last night.

what about how signing for cronulla is a home coming for him. feel free to **** off back to your own place ayshford. useless ****

 

[BurgoShark]

A bit early to be bagging centres and wingers when you have a terrible half-back and a second rower playing 5/8. I will hold off my judgement on the outside backs until Carney plays a game.

[Tiger Shark]

holmes scored 26 points, brown 2 tries. wont be in first grade this year

Are you saying that because we never give our players a go or because you know for fact.

Exactly.

Maybe wait until we have our halves back who will feed the ball to the centres before writing them off.

 

[stevie013]

Hopefully we learnt a bit from it as well, Wade was the intended receiver but he was probably a metre & a half to two metres wider than he should have been attacking so close to the line.

Our first receiver should have been standing either a lot closer or a lot deeper than what he was, that was amateur play right there.

cant believe your blaming the first receiver. i put the blame squarely on IDG. he didnt even look. he should have looked before passing and his pass should have been crisper. that ****house ball he dished up for kelly deserved to be intercepted.

 

[hamsy44]

IDG should have passed the other side of the ruck simple. He is a **** player ****ty ****ty ****

 

[Wilson]

Kelly was a metre off side anyway. Not even Usain Bolt could have got there that quickly.

I'm not soley blaming the first receiver, of course the hooker should have never thrown the ball. This is common though, how many times does a hooker throw a ball forward to a player who has over run the play the ball? A lot. How many times does a centre throw ball forward to winger that has over run? A lot. The blame goes to both the receiver and ball carrier. I do however believe more responsibility lies on the receiver than the carrier to make sure they are in the right spot.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I can't think of another team who has two worse hookers than us. It's embarrassing.

 

[CrankyShark]

You're right Harold, I said to my wife last night on the drive home it was a all round bludger of a game, can honestly say that experience was one of my least enjoyable matches of RL ever & that's not cause we lost either.

The first few weeks are always crap in a new season. Players, refs etc need a good four weeks to warm into a season.

There is no cause for wrist slitting at this stage IMO.

 

[Gibs]

IDG should have noticed kelly laugh out and go for a scoot in the hole.

 

[egg]

I wonder how the morale at the the rehab session is today.
I'd reckon 95% of us supporters feel down and out today. How much can one endure.
The players? How would they be today?
Would Andrew be feeling all our pain too. (for an extra $50,0000/year).
The GOOD news was that our Defence was positive as usual, lot of ticker shown.
Titans offside ALL night and we only went down by 6 against their FULL strenth Squad.
SO, obviously we DO have some Depth at our club.
Perhaps if Fifita departs it could be a blessing in disguise, keeping and blooding the younger talant.
OR , he reconsidered and stayed with his mates for less.
Lets face it, the Bulldogs and associates are generally a bunch of k_obs.
I'd be embarassed to contemplate playing for that mob, even if I had the ability. Money or no money.

 

[evertonshark]

did anyone else think that zillman was offside on his try?

I haven't seen any replays on tv but I said to chad I thought zillman was a good metre offside

How was the big fella last night? I imagine he was getting cranky with the refs, maybe even some expletives?

I've thought for a while a lot of our attacking problems close to the line stem from the first receiver standing too far from the dummy half and by the time he receives a long slow pass the defence is on top of him.

watch the classy 9's, they yell at their forwards, usually 2 of them, to stand in front of the first receiver to make it difficult to swarm them. we dont practice this at all

He was just laughing sarcastically at the refereeing
