I thought Taga offloaded and Sami tried to catch it which was up over his head. It was a poor offload and should never have been attempted in those circumstances.

Kudos to Barba. I thought he played well and caught well despite being illegally hammered.

We still have a **** attack but defended well considering Titans got 10 penalties in a row.
Ok. I stand corrected. I was too busy shaking my head at the nos. 14 for dropping it. I thought he was looking at the defence.

I agree with the guy that said he wouldn't watch the replay. The style of football the team is playing is fuc%ing boring. The coaching is sh$t. If that makes fans happy we have fallen a very long way. Anybody remember Barry Russell, Andrew Ettingshausen, Mark McGaw, Jonathon Docking? That was how the Sharks play. Not seen for a very long time. Bye Bye Flanno - I'm bored.

Sharks were the winner, but Rugby League was the loser.

Taga should never play in our colours again. He is all speed and no torque, runs fast at the line then stops dead.

We really miss Feki's energy and power early in the set.

While we're experimenting with the 6, I'd be inclined to see how Holmes would go there with Bird in the centres. Worth trying while the position is up in the air.

If not Holmes should play 1. He's wasted on the wing.

Taga looks like Tarzan - Plays like Jane.

Valentine is a special player and I think he will be a very good playmaker but would like to wait a little while. He is only 19 and really making an impact. Maybe later this year he could have a run at 6 or 7 but not till he has a little more time. He did lose a ball soft tonight.

I didn't watch tonight after last week. Promised bride I wouldn't because my behaviour after loss was very poor. If that's what it takes I wont watch another game this year.

As long as we keep winning you could always watch the replays!!

All good except we need to find a spot for Gagan. 2 tries last week for the Jets on return from injury

I'm all for Gagan in the 1-5 . He has come off a string of injuries I think he needs to get some game time and confidence back.

Barry Russell would be the quickest bloke over 15 metres i have ever seen. Made more breaks from the scrum base than logically possible. Legend. And at 6 Speechly. Great times. That said, we are starting to get some value out of our three quarters which hasn't been the case for a long time. Go sharks.

Forgot Speech. Rex Mossop lost a load every time Speech tackled around the ankles. Never see that again.

Good to win. Best shape we've had in attack in yonks. Timing was off for much of the game but the Bird/Barba combination is brewing nicely.

Excellent energy and intent in the second half. Credit to the coach.

Defence was disappointing. Some really good sets and then some times when they just opened us up completely. Lots of video work to do.

Barba had his best game in our colours. They clearly targeted him physically but he came through well and looked dangerous every time he got it. Good to see a smile back on his face.

Ennis overplayed his hand but was his usual self. Likewise Lewis. Both guns.
