Round 22: NZ warriors vs Cronulla Sharks Sun 10 Aug 2:00 PM @ Mt Smart Stadium.

[Gards]

Today is a day you shouldn't be devo'd , we busted ourselves with so many top liners injured or playing injured , today we saw the future and I like it , be proud of the effort , they were up against it on so many counts so to get that close was simply outstanding

Any loss is hard but fair dinkum today we should be mighty proud

I am immensely proud of the effort and energy today and the style of footy we played. Our young blokes stepped up more than any previous games and yes I was thinking of our future while I watched that. I enjoyed this Sharks game possibly more than any other game this year for the full 80 mins.

It doesn't mean losing didn't hurt. This game had me caring again, we were in it up to our eyeballs. I wanted all the hard work and effort rewarded for our guys. To fall short due to one selfish ball hog moment, it left me gobsmacked

 

[JimBob]

He's pretty piss weak with his carries.

Jimbob swears Robinson's good, that's how we know he's infact ****house.

Robinson IS good in NSW Cup and he deserved a crack in firsts.

Hasn't shown anything with his performances.

 

[Mr Wright]

Because he IS NOT NRL quality.

You would and should be able to see that in NSW Cup.

 

[JimBob]

did that ****in retard really say tomkins, who tackled politoni, would have then turned and tackled gordon?

**** me swinging

im gonna drop him next time i see him

**** me, watch the play again. The reason Tomkins ended up tackling Politoni was because Politoni went himself.

Tomkins was about 9 meters away from Pat when he threw the dummy and went himself. Tomkins was turning to chase Gordon until Politoni ran away from his support.

i hate doing this but ill actually stick up for jimbob here, robbo was very solid week in week out in nsw cup, always did the hard yards and pretty much played the same game all the time

Considering our injuries and how he was playing since last year he deserved his shot, he just isn't up to the nrl level

I don't think it was ball hogging. I think he was genuinely trying to just draw the fullback. He was looking for the support the whole time. He wasn't trying to beat the fullback, he was trying to draw him, but by the time he was in a position to pass it, Gordon had over ran it. It just didn't come together unfortunately.

 

[djhabib]

what about holmes mucking up the pickup when he had the line wide open? quick to forget that one.

please take your common sense somewhere else mate, it's not welcome here

Nope, that was horrible. A genuine winger scores that

Forget what?

I'm not doubting his ability on the NSW Cup level, but you can tell by the way a player plays an how he is affecting the game physically if he is a NRL standard forward. Robinson is not and its not hard to tell and that was my point.

 

[slide rule]

Every time I've seen Robinson in NSW Cup he's been impressive. Sometimes it takes people a little while to find their feet when they step up a level. I'd like to see him play a couple more in firsts before the season is out.

 

[djhabib]

yep Robinson clearly cant make the step up to first grade. Not many left across our squads who can come into the team anyway

 

[A.Snowden]

honest Toiler

 

[vicsharkfan]

Looks like I am keeping true to form.........can pick em

Got the team right atleast mr B, all good. I was really proud of the boys today should have could have but didn't, hope next week is our week been long overdue a win down here

 

[Tank]

Great effort today . Shouldn't be happy with a loss but the effort and attitude were terrific. Execution still a huge issue for us but I take heart in the fact that we are still having a dig...............unlike R Farrah and co.

 

[CHOGM]

Zero tackle say Ennis has played in 7, can't say i have seen him playing there though. If he is any good i wonder if the plan is for Robbo to go to hooker next year and Ennis could be a fill in half for the year until some better halves come available.

He has played 7 for the dogs this year and I think they won/played well with him in that position.

 

[sharkyboy]

Ennis was dog **** when playing halfback.

 

[sharks2010]

Yeah he was terrible in that game, the next game he was named in the 7 but played half back

 

[Tank]

Yeah he was terrible in that game, the next game he was named in the 7 but played half back

7 but played half back??????
