Round 16 2017 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Sunday 25 June @ 4pm, SCG Stadium

[Sparkles]

Watching the game it felt like our origin stars were resting. Maloney avoided contact a LOT... Fifita chimed in a bit. Bird crabbed and the rest of the team let him go for it.

I retrospect, the Storm had the best strategy. I'm not sure if Flanno kept them playing with an eye on the bye round, but the team looked desperate for some fresh legs and enthusiasm.

Given SOO seems to be getting faster and tougher on the players, it's probably almost better to have the bye after SOO now rather than before it.

Our poor performance finally got the treatment it deserved. We're lucky it was only a 17pt beating.

Had to happen sooner or later. Lets see how we respond. Will be tougher without Brailey and Seggy being still a few games away, plus he's unlikely to be ready to punch out a quality 80 for a bit.

I feel the same, not that i want us to lose, but we played like this against tigers, got out of jail. Against newy....got out of jail.....finally a team capable of making you pay for your errors and we still cough them up. Hopefully it wakes them up to it a bit more.

I told you all Manly would flog us. Told you all way back in 2014. Oh ye of little faith.
