Two different Sharks teams tonight. The one with Brailey and the one without him. Segyaro is a good player but I am not sure he fits this team.

Half time came at the wrong time... win is a win which was the most important thing. Have watched the cows closely last 3 weeks they have been great all things considered. Roll out the roosters.

I reckon Maloney switched off in the 2nd half. He's our main spark in attack and he decided that he didn't need to risk himself and perhaps couldn't be ****ed.

Yep i said with 5 to go in the first half indont want half time to come. It gave cows a chance to regroup and the adrenalin in us to wear down. We couldnt do wrong in the first half.

Still a lot of work to do. Should have put on more than 2 points in the second considering the amount of ball dow their end. Need someone to straighten up, way too much side to side.

When gal straightens up, everyone says he gets in the way.....

Honestly Maloney's first half compared to his second half was the exact difference. He was just ****ing around missing tackles and doing these retarded trick plays instead of straightening the attack.

I'm absolutely stoked with this game. The first half shows that we still have it. That's all I needed to see to feel like we've still got a chance of going back to back.

Neither. But u know what i mean.

Its pretty well known those 'settlers' are done to ensure the tackle starts on a spot where a set play has been designed to start from. Thats how robotic this game has become

Nothing wrong with a settler. Just couldn't work out why it was side to side when Fif or something running hard through the line when close to the line. Odd.

First half brilliant.

Second half terrible.

I really don't know what to make of tonight's game.

Loved Fifita's straight charges in the first 30 minutes. He was so powerful and had them back pedalling.
Chad and Jimmy controlled things well, we scored a few more and went into the sheds well on top.

Second half it was a different game. We put the cue in the rack.
We went back to the old clunky attack, pushing passes, trying to score off every play style.

Hard to know what we'll dish up next week.

Another 'Hess Masterclass' tonight. Good stats but lets in two tries with awful defence. Kept up his average.
