Yet they play the same position.

Everyone has their own style.

You play to the Strengths of each player. You use cordner as the line running back rower whereas we use graham as a ball playing feeder of the ball who has more finesse. Atm though cordner is playing way better footy. I love wade and he has been pretty decent this year but he is still finding his feet as a player. Still only 23 and cordner is still only 21/22.

Both these guys will be even better at 26 or 28.

in grahams defence he didn come through the ranks as a back rower . if graham was to play under a proper coach will be better than cordner in no time but people at the sharks don't know how to coach players or teach them a thing a two and that is why they buy players already developed

Graham is forced to ball play and not just run straight lines cause our halves and structure do not get the job done
I'm someone who has called him over-hyped previously but he has been strong out on that left edge this year and in some games caused chaos with that fend and passing of his

I don't think he is a gun but I also don't agree that he is a run of the mill backrower

I know this. But our teams structure isnt about lots of ball movement, the less passes the better, we drop it too much. How often do we run a play where the winger gets to run for the corner untouched? Wade needs to run lines, not confuse it more.

our right edge defense needs to introduce themselves to the team...

gordon needs to learn how to clean up a kick

todd needs to run

simple things you can learn at training but we dont

Many teams have worked out that this side (right side) is our weakest, it gets proven every week.

I wouldn't mind seeing a stat on points conceded on the right side in comparison to the left side.

I was saying to Snowman this morning how it's a good thing they change sides at half time - otherwise the right side of our field would be worn through to bare dirt.

A few defining moments I think we need to look at:

- The decision to take the 2 @ 4 minutes in was diabolical

- Wade giving away a penalty, complaining about being bitten, but didn't lodge a formal complaint?

- Carney's 40/20 attempt was only a metre or 2 short of the sideline with the chasers right on top of the guy picking it up - but they were too weak / lazy / useless to tackle him into touch?

- The ref saying on air that we were going to receive a penalty for a chicken wing on Feki, but after the trainer left the field it was play on?

Funny thing is how we notice how much better we were with Flanno coaching...

If only Flanno could watch the part where we actually score points.

Just watched last nites game, the only positive in my eyes was, we were no worse than any of the other 8 loses.. There will be a game very soon were our opposition will run absoltly every play down our right side, feki and Ricky won't even have to get their guernseys washed they will be spotless.. Just amazed how this season has imploded like it has.. More Miffed as to were our wins are going to come from..

We were better than saints, raiders, roosters, rabbitohs and titans.

Poor discipline and some poor decision making cost us.

Question on the tigers wingers try. It looked like he dropped it and grounded it with his arm, now i thought the new rule was if u drop it u have to regather it, not force it with your arm correct me if im wrong

We've lost 4 games at home this year. All of which we could/ should have won. The line between a good and disastrous season is a fine one. Kelly intercept game 1. Morris miracle try against saints, two schoolboy defensive reads last night. Don't really know what my point is but I can't wait until the day we get a few breaks!

we are out of luck and belief at the moment - the effort is there but it is a fine line between winning and losing, maybe they can relax a bit now and enjoy playing
- I'm ready for next Monday

The right centre position is just a disaster.

It really is at the stage where unless they are prepared to move Feki there, then Lewis is going to have to play there.Possibly even Beau if fit.

We already have a liability in Carney on that side , so having a turnstyle next to him is an invitation that every opposition team is accepting.

As most on here have said, Ayshford and Wright have no future.

those watching at shark park last night may not have noticed and not watched a replay yet......... and i will admitt the slowing down in the ruck against us last night was poorly controled by the refs. but jesus we bitched and whinged all nite to the ref to no avail, wasted so much energy waving hands in the air and yelling at the refs, wish we put that much energy in our defense or god forbid a set play. we may even win a game,

Noticed again on the rare times we make line breaks from our own half there is no support play, beau just had to take the tackle.

That was extremely frustrating after he made such a good break. Only for Wright to knock it on...
