Haha, I'm probably the only one on here that isn't actually bummed with the score.

I wasn't expecting us to score a point and I though we were going to leak 40+.

18-0, for the squad we had, isn't too bad of an effort.

Yeah our attack was down right dreadful, but our defence was awesome.

im not bummed with the 18. Its the 0. 0, meaning zero points. No tries, no goals. No effort. We had so many sets on their line its not funny. In fact, probably more than them.

Andrew Johns was giving it to our non-existent attack all night on the radio.
Not funny but then again neither is being a Sharks fan at the moment.
He kept saying the only way we'll score is through a kick, but our halves can't kick!

We don't have any plan when we are in an attacking position. We are never trying to build to anything and we don't have any set moves. We run from dummy half a couple of times. Get it to the halfback once (who for some reason doesn't expect it or gets it late) and then before we know it the tackle count is finished. We then put in a dud kick or drop it.

Totally unacceptable for a first grade side. Actually, its unacceptable for any football side at any level. For all of Robson's supposed organizational skills, he seems to do very little of it.

It's not all Sharps fault. We have a team of slow old men and reserve graders. I don't think anyone could coach this rabble to a win.
Yep. We are absolutely horrible to watch. We can't score with about 5 consecutive sets on their line.

I didn't think Souths were up to much and thought we were in it early in the second half. I should have realised we couldn't manage to put on more than eight points.

He also said that Gordon would be a marquee-level back if he was running off Thurston

We can't catch so I don't know why we bother with the bombs. The grubber looks like the only way we can score.

Field goal every time we had the ball inside their 20, we could have beat em by taking baby steps, remember early in the game the blow up if we took the easy 2.... Wished we had now

The team make up is a relfection on the coach.

Flanno recruits for the short term fix rather than the long term gain. Gibbs, Lewis, Gordon, Holdsworth, Robson, De Gois, Heighington. Dont get me wrong both Lewis and Gordon have had a great career and anyone would offer them a contract. But is the short fix worth losing out on a younger player who has the world infront of them?

He's been hammering us on radio and tv for weeks. But he's right about all of it. We deserve every bit of criticism coming our way.
