What other side would lead by 10 at home and give up 2 tries so easily? It's getting really tiresome watching this. I love this club but wow ......... Oh well I guess this is part of being part of the sharks!

We have a far more talented playing group that what is being put onto the field. I am aiming my criticism squarely at the Coaching Staff. I just watched the Press Conference that went for 1:19. With no malice, Peter Sharp is way out of his depth. He offers no motivation, no emotion, no leadership, no direction.

His summary was we tried really hard but made too many errors.

Many may disagree, but I feel Peter Sharp should resign from the Club altogether, in my view he offers no value in the Coaching structure of our Club. The difficulty of course is that Flanagan will be back in possibly another 4 months or so.

The unforced errors and poor decision making are accumulative of the problems in the Coaching ranks.

Sorry dudes but I'm I'm speechless can't believe the sharks lost that.
For the first time ever I thought walking home about lowing my sharks flag.
I've had a few.
But as supporters were we have to dig deep and think their is always next week and a
win is around the corner.

Hopefully gals the only origin call up, and reynold/sutton get called up too. Although i think lewis will too, and maybe graham.

You think Carney dropping it cold with 1 minute to go was a coaching error? Wake up

Talked to Toops after the game. He said the playing group are struggling without flanno. Don't know if it was a copout or what.

Not kicking that penalty goal on half time ended up being the difference.

Frustrating game. I thought we were good in patches and we got into an arm wrestle but letting the Tigers score two tries that quickly wasn't good enough. We had time to pull it back, which makes it hurt.

Time to change my status now :(

I think they would be. No other team has had to deal with this before. Yes you see coaches leave mid season etc but we finished finalists last year and went down swinging, losing the bloke who has been part of those 2 decent year would slow it down massively.

No, but there is a distinctive attitude problem that is causing these unforced errors, and I believe that the Coaching Staff are responsible for allowing the situation to become as it has.

Sharp is clearly not giving the players the kick up the backside they need, and if he is they aren't responding to his Coaching style.

Flanagan at least shows emotion, motivation, leadership and direction to his players - they are missing this stuff.

Whatever it is he brings, they are prepared to play for him, they don't have the same respect for Sharp it seems, and this in confirmed by literally the playing group making the unforced errors.

The perception is that there is no consequence for a poor performance.

Bottom line is we couldn't beat a one man team two weeks in a row.

How do we expect to go against an actual team?

Hopefully .This year's hurt and pain might charge the spring for a year of redemption in 2015.

whos guilty of what?
I didn't mean to imply if anyone was guilty or not I just meant to get it over and done with because the season will be over by then and they will get the full preseason in if they take it after origin 3.

The 6 month pledge is long gone! We'll get 24 months

Besides look at earl
Im pretty sure I saw Richard Ings tweet that you can get that at any point with substantial assistance. But you're not wrong about how long Sandors case is taking

I think your bang on the money mate. I rarely praise flanno because I think he is a shyte coach in terms of attacking and defensive structure but he mostly got the best out of this squad over the last 2 years. After watching the heartless pathetic performances this season I grudgingly accept that flanagan actually gets them playing with intensity and a never say die attitude which goes a long way in the game. On paper our squad is much better than this.
