Only just watched the game last night and gee we were bad. To be honest we were a bit lucky to be up by as much as we were in the first half. I'm not blaming them solely for the loss because Carney and Gordon were god awful, but we really have to replace Robson and Morris moving forward. I know they are my whipping boys but they are for a reason. We lose to much when DeGois goes off and if Carney is having an off night it just shows how bad Robson is at creating anything. He just can't be a focal point of an attack and it will be interesting to see just how much he stinks this weekend.

And Jigsaw, I know I don't know anything about the game at all but how on earth can you justify Isaac Gordon being remotely a first grader. For someone with so much pace he barely threatens to make a break at all. And those defensive reads were some of the worst of the year.

And now for the most worrying thing. Carney. Is anyone else worried that his Origin one performance is still playing on his mind? Does SOO 2 become the most important game for the sharks this year? He is one of those confidance players and when it's down he plays like he did on Monday night. Was the worst player on the field. An indicator for mine is if he is putting his body on the line in defence. He defended like Tim Smith in that second half ie he looked scared.

I hope our recruitment hasn't ground to a halt because we need more than Michael Gordon to fix that backline. Is Segeyaro off contract? I know we are in desperate need of outside backs but gee we need another hooker.

Todd has been great for us this yr but I have to admit I was thinking he was making sure he didnt injure himself with the lack of effort in commiting himself defensively in that 2nd half.

Mate, he has been great for us. He is the main reason we are still in the 8. That game winning try was solely his fault. Hindy threw short to Morgan and Carney just looked plain scared. He didn't even attempt to tackle him. We defended poorly the entire match. No line speed and no intensity.

yeh, we hold for another 12-15 minutes & we dodge a bullet & win the game (not deservedly), I wonder if it was brought up & half time, "yes we are winning but are not playing to our potential, c'mon boys we need to lift in this 2nd half" or whether we just got clouded by the half time score board.

1. You dont watch Rugby League do you? Or Origin even? even the Sharks? Williams has had on par defence reads that equal that. Uates in origin where worse, have you watched a Canberra game this year? What about the Warriors Storm game this weekend? Did you watch the early Warrior games from the start of the year? lol how about a panthers game early this year? and before this weeks Eels game did you watch any of there games?
I really doubt you did. So your in no position to talk.
And did you watch the Storm game this year? Or the roosters game last year? Or any of the games Ike has played for us since he has been at the club? Besides this year with Best and Poms being in great form. Ike has been our best and most consistent 1-5. Besides maybe Fergo and Covell (although Ike only played when Covell was injured)


2. Yes he is, although he will either be an Eel or stay at the cowboys. From what i hear the Eels have thrown BIG money at him, But he really enjoys playing at Cowboys and playing with JT.

Consistently crap. Ike has had one good game that comes to memory, the Roosters game. Stop holding on to the past Jiggy boy.

A lot more shockers that come to memory.
