i brought this up the other week when I was watching a storm game, they made a break and had 3 support players there
And why is it that robson seems to be the only player who chases when we throw our usual intercept passes and last night the richards no try

The other boys would rather sulk.

I hate Robson, but the bloke does try his hardest. Its a shame he sucks so ****ing bad. Wish some of the other guys would try as hard as him.

And once again looks to be making gains on the player only to slow down and get blown away

On a positive note, the crowd on TV looked bigger than I thought it would be, given our bad form at the moment. Was there some sort of Women In League promotion?

We always toss up **** performances for big crowds, and play well when no one gives a **** and we get 9000 there

The crowd was a pleasant surprise, all seating was sold out before the game and only GA was left
Pretty good considering our position on the table and shows up many crowds for teams doing better than us

I think there was a decent amount of tigers supporters there as well
Sadly I don't see the Sharks faithful turning out in numbers again this year after another debilitating loss at home

Our lack of support play is a major thing for us. We in every game have several chances at breaking the line if only we had support. We have very handy players who can offload only to not have any one there. It is so frustrating.

Watch the good sides, Melbourne, Manly, Bulldogs. All have numerous support players backing up the carrier.

I think the guy just doesn't have the stamina to spirt the whole 100.

Was similar to the Uliga try last year in the finals. By halfway I honestly though Robson was going to catch him, but it looks like he runs out of puff with 25 meters to go. By the end of it the guy was deadset exhausted.

The annoying thing is that we have a home game on Monday. I wouldn't expect a big crowd after having a home game on the previous weekend. Never mind the fact that we aren't playing great and the game against Souths is on a Monday.

Watching the reply now, **** kicking for goal in the first 4 minutes. Could have been the game changer tbh

This may have been the case but I'll be buggered if the Peter Burns stand is full every game. There are so many spare seats including one huge block on the right hand side. I can never understand why those seats are never taken.

Case in point we offloaded like crazy a few weeks back against Penrith and matched it try for try with them and got a win. Then in next few games we more or less abandon tactics that our team are adept at and work. Our team is bizarre and coach a moron

I dunno he always seems to have the energy to get back onside and make good tackles and doesn't look buggered in general play. The try he scored against penrith he slowed down very quickly and only just made it to the line. Not sure if he is carrying some sort of injury but most likely age is just catching up with him and he has some more beefcake on him this season lol

To our teams credit we havn't pulled that **** in a while now. Shows where the headspace is at though.
I don't blame that decision for the loss, we had 75 mins to win it and it kept us close to the tigers on the scoreboard the whole game

Yea I made this point to some of the gronks last night. They say it is sold out but there are plenty of empty seats around, so likely alot of ticket holders not turning up
Mind you the beer and food lines were a joke so the facilities barely coped as it was

So why doesn't the club find out who these people are that don't turn up? Especially that big block on the right hand side. It's constantly empty. Everton and I remark about that all the time.
