That's the good thing about it, it's not just the same 2 players passing/catchingthats where it works for us, we've had it work with a few guys now, graham, lewis ans toupo all throwing the last pass, had graham gordon and caney all score from it.
Don't usually get into slanging matches with fans from the same club I support. I will today though you illiterate halfwit.

Some great comments in the smh power rankings today on the Sharks.
Theyve now said its a five-horse race for the premiership, and also put our NSW cup team ahead of the eels, lol.

Mate we are supposed to be on the same side. If what I said was controversial or bagging the players, then I deserve the drongo tag. Wake up to yourself.
Hey everybody have a look at page 22 bottom left corner of yesterday's telegraph,
What a classic, a must read, maybe some could download it for all to see.

THE most delicious irony is the fact Paul Gallen grew-up supporting the Roosters.
But after Monday night’s spiteful encounter - both on the field and Twittersphere - Gallen is no longer a Tricolours sympathiser.
His father’s remarkable spray at former Roosters coach Brian Smith - the man who thought Gallen was too short to play NRL at Parramatta more than a decade ago - headlines a hatred between the two teams that could explode should they meet again in next month’s finals.
While the post-match controversy has focused on Gallen and Smith, Sharks winger Beau Ryan went into the game with a target on his head.
Some Roosters players felt The Footy Show prankster had crossed the line with his weekly impersonations of Sonny Bill Williams and wanted revenge.
Coincidentally, Ryan was whacked hard early and sat-out the second 40 minutes with concussion.
Twice Williams conceded penalties to get at Ryan, with a wild shoulder charge just six minutes in and by roughing him up on the ground after 15 minutes.
Ryan was then left groggy after being smashed in a strong tackle from Michael Jennings and James Maloney after about 25 minutes.
But the biggest flash point came closer to half-time when Roosters rookie Dylan Napa squared-up Gallen with a seismic shot.
Asked about the hit at the break on Triple M radio, Gallen replied: “I ran at him (Napa) three times and he got me once, so I’m up!"
That remark triggered a proactive tweet from Smith: “He ran at him once and got smashed next two times he ran away from him to avoid further embarrassment."
Moments later, Smith then replied to a tweet mentioning peptides - the banned substance Sharks players have been accused of taking in 2011.
And it’s not the first time he’s weighed into the drugs debate.
In early February, Smith wrote an online article recalling an unnamed player who had morphed into a superstar after being told to try elsewhere.
"A pretty fair player who fitted the ‘before’ photo in a bodybuilding mag left my club as we did not think he would get ‘the rig necessary to cut it in the NRL’," Smith wrote.
"To our surprise, he bobbed up at another club just a couple of seasons later looking like the ‘after’ photo!
"He has absolutely carved it and is now one of the top line in our sport. Did he cheat to get there? I have no proof.
"Perhaps the latest big investigation will uncover the validity of these types of accusations or innuendos to clear that player or condemn those who have taken the short cut."
Later on Monday night, Gallen’s father Garry used his son’s Twitter account to fire back at Smith with a series of barbs about his coaching record.
Gallen then opened-up on his feelings about Smith during an interview with Sky Sports Radio on Tuesday.
"I won’t be going back and forth with Brian Smith to give his life any significance," Gallen said.
"He can have his time in the sun for the next 24 hours and that’s about all he’s good for. I won’t be getting involved with him anymore.
"Obviously he didn’t like me at Parramatta when I was a kid. I had a meeting with him about 2003-04 to go back there and (since then) I’ve had nothing to do with him."
Gallen also exchanged heated words with Roosters opposite Frank Paul-Nu’uasala late in the game, with Williams appearing by his team mate’s side.
A confrontation between Gallen and Williams would be a marketers dream, given controversial agent Khoder Nasser has started drawing-up long term plans for a super fight between the pair.
Nasser - who manages Williams - has been in touch with Gallen about a post-career move into boxing.
"I won’t be going back and forth with Brian Smith to give his life any significance," Gallen said.
I'm still in shock over our first half, just incredible.
It was obvious they were going to come out a different team in the second half and we looked a little flat, but I'm happy we did enough to hold on and get over the line against the competition leaders.
Haven't read back over this thread but I thought the referring was terrible for both sides. Yeah we kicked four penalty goals but the fact is they also had plenty of penalties given within range, but because they were so far behind they obviously were going for tries.
Gal just incredible playing as prop which we all know is his best position. Everyone played their part for mine except I though De Gois looked a bit slow out of dummy half and was directly responsible on one occassion for us not getting a kick away on the last. Haven't watched the replay but they scored a few tries down our right side so I'm assuming we still have the same old issues there. Was on the other side of the field from where I sit in the PB stand so hard to see.
After driving to the game I was so pumped to get a win and secure a 'home' final I kicked on at the club afterwards. Had to leave the car there and get the train home which was a three hour trip door-to-door. Same thing yesterday going back down to pick up the car. Ohh well, would I do it again? Yep.
Do it again this Sunday HB. Would be good to meet you and grab a beer!
I'm at every home game with my old man SB. You lot would probably be a bit much for an old fella like him to handle haha.
What a ****ing germ. I'm glad Smith has been a complete failure what a tosser.In early February, Smith wrote an online article recalling an unnamed player who had morphed into a superstar after being told to try elsewhere.
