Don't forget the 40 mtr souths field goal that just scraped over....i was on 1-12 as well.

Don't even remind me...

**** Mr Wright. My condolences. Those kind of payouts only come up once, maybe twice a year. I shouldn't remind you that Carney has missed a heap of easy kicks this year. Imagine how much that bad boy would have paid if you went Sharks 13+?

Funny thing is before i made the bet I thought to myself that I had a good feeling we would win and thought maybe we might just sneak over the 13+ margin. Played it safe and lost big time. Still up a 5k on the year though. Within a bee's dick....

Haha must have been tough that it was exactly 13 with the kind of try on the buzzer that we almost never get.

It's funny how we can play heaps better than a team and still win by 1. That game tonight was one of the closest games we've played in and we win by 13 in the end haha.

The only thing that is valid is that you are an idiot.

Tell me why? Of those 3 points explain to me why any of them are not true and correct? I have never said Robbo is an amazing half or player. Simply that he has done a great job for us at the Sharks and is adding more value than any recent half back has. Along with his inside balls which we all dislike no doubt, he setup a very good try, saved one in our in goal, got us a repeat set and pulled out some great round the leg tackles on GI. It's been good to see in the Robbo thread you have been honest in giving him some credit tonight but please stop harping on about how **** you think he is, we know you thing he sucks, you don't have to keep reiterating. You and Tef can't wait for him to fail at each and every instance where's most posters round here recgonise his weaknesses AND strengths and bear frustration with appreciation.

It's very easy to sit back and post endless statistics and lob insults at fellow posters but not so easy just to admit you don't have all the answers.

When he plays like crap I say he played like crap, and when he plays good I say he plays good.

You say he is good when he is crap, and Teflon says he is crap when he's playing pretty good.

You and Teflon are as bad as each other.

The funniest thing is when after one of his good performance you try and say 'I told you so'. What are you Nostradamus?

Well done Sharks, 2 pts in the kitty, if you told me beforte the game "we'd get the 2 points but it wont be pretty" I will take it every day of the week, yes it wasn't pretty but lets worry about that next week & enjoy a much needed win.

Well that was a game I thought we would struggle to win. But the boys showed some good resolve tonight to come up with the win.

I too have looked at the comments posted while the game was on and seriously, I will only forgive those who were drunk while posting such rubbish. Some of you guys really need your heads examined. Lucky we're not down the bottom of the comp this year, the comments would be four times as bad.

Look, we are not a side blessed with a back line that has pace and flair. That may change but for the present we need to make do with what we have. Love him or hate him Flanno has done a good job. He may not be the best coach but he has done the best he can with the resources available. So many other clubs have way more to spend on resources, etc (I don't mean the salary cap), so to sit where we are is a great effort.

Forget about blaming the ref. I've said it since the beginning of the year, you have to make sure that the refs have no bearing on the game by winning games well. We have problems doing that.

In tonight's game Frizzel was easily our best player. For around 70 mins it was a real arm wrestle and like others have said, it wasn't pretty. And we will have to do so much more to go deep into the finals.

This is a public forum so I am more than happy for people to post what they like. It's their right to do so. But it is also my right to disagree with the negativity that people come up with and it is amazing that so many people who follow the same team can be so abusive toward each other. Shouldn't we save that for the opposing fans and Ronald M of Redfern?

Great victory by the boys even though we didnt play well for the first 70 mins. Carney and Robson really need to lift and the forwards need to show more...when the forwards started running forward the team excelled. Special mentions go out to Fifita, J.Williams, Frizell and Tupuo. I thought these stood out. I think letting Fizzell go to dragons is a massive mistake - he will be a player to watch in a few years.

Just home from the game.

I got the pleasure of driving home in JAWS after a win in all three grades against more fancied opponents.

Probably one of the best renditions of Up Up Cronulla that I've heard in years (led by Paul Gallen no less) at the player's presentation.

Wonderful to hear coaches across all grades and players alike to say that it's all about BELIEF.
