Round 26 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Sunday 6th September 2015 4:00pm @ Remondis Stadium

[sharks2010]

Manly are top 4 side that stuffed up .
I'd play 110% if I was them with nothing to loose , against hated rival. . Most teams would have lost today
Its not bad to feel pain today , in fact it could be a blessing .
Go Sharks 4 from 4 now on .

Jesus Christ where do you get this **** from. Manly are a top 4 side that stuffed up? Lol Fmd they couldn't even beat parra at home when their season was on the line.

'Most teams' weren't playing for a top 4 position yesterday and if it were the roosters, Broncos or melbourne playing manly yesterday and they had that much ball they would have put manly to the sword.

Manly are a top 4 side that stuffed up bahahaha. No egg, we are a top 4 side that stuffed up

People call myself and others here negative and haters on certain players/people in the club...

But **** me some of the blind optimism and shark goggles need to be taken off. **** me it is painful to read

I think the thing to remember about yesterday's game is the term "horses for courses". It's a fact in horse racing that very often a horse will win a lot on one track, and never on another. Something about the shape and camber of a track will just suit them, and then they get used to winning on that track and mentally it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. And the reverse for tracks they can't win on. They lose a few, then start seeing that as predestined.

League teams are the same to some extent. The chooks and bunnies struggle to beat us for some reason. Manly always beat us, as do Melbourne. Once this goes on for a while the players start to play to the script and it keeps happening. I think yesterday's game was mentally tougher for the players than either of the next two games will be for this reason, assuming we play Souths then Cowboys. In fact the only two teams left in the finals that I fear are Melbourne and Brisbane, because I know mentally we'll struggle to believe we can win.

Waking up I don't feel any of the hippy optimism you all might. I'm still left with a sour taste in my mouth. Premiership winning sides don't lose those type of games. See you all next year.

agree

should have taken the 2 in the first half.

Fair enough CHOGM but how do you explain the previous three weeks to yesterday? All average performances as well imo.

Many thought that footage of the Ennis try appeared to show a split second of the ball on the ground. Also, Holme's try was ruled a "Try" on field and it seemed inconclusive as to whether he knocked on. I'm not saying they should have been awarded, I'm just pointing out we were very unlucky and nothing went our way all game. Yet despite all that, we were ahead with less than ten to go only to be beaten by another freaky intercept, which may or may not have been an offside.

mate, he knocked it about 3m forward

 

[skeksis]

should have taken the 2 in the first half.

Flash should have nailed a simple conversion, Gallen should have ****ed off and died after 60 minutes, etc. Pointless, they had an opportunity, they wasted it, and with it went any realistic chance of making the GF. Bundled out week one or two is the most likely forecast.

 

[SharkShocked]

I was screaming for him to somehow take a tackle 5-10m out. Cummins wouldn't have gone back for a knock on after he ruled try for it. And Holmes would have known he knocked it on.

Was really hoping he got caught.

Leutele's flop of a tackle which made Horo's step look like ****ing RTS or SJ was the epitome of the team attitude yesterday. I broke my phone when that happened

I said the same thing yesterday. There is no way he wouldn't have known he knocked it on but I guess the adrenaline was pumping when he was running for the try line, probably not thinking.

You actually broke your phone?

I wasn't referring to that though, was referring to Holmes's disallowed try.

 

[Sutty]

I'm more annoyed at the Horo intercept not being referred to video ref. That was absolutely ****ing blatantly in need of a review. It would have been called back and we'd have a penalty pretty much right in front.

this. That's what I hate. 99% of the time they check that, but not yesterday. All the rulings the video ref made were all correct

Oh, oops! My mistake. But yeah, phone = out the balcony. That was the most piss poor attempt at a tackle, it was Vintage 2014 Ayshford levels of bad. Way to repay that contract extension Ricky!

 

[deano the p]

Holmes knocked on but there was also an angle that showed Manly knock it on, then Holmes then Manly again. Should have been our feed.

I still can't get over the two on one strip that got missed at the end.

 

[SharkShocked]

Honestly they never review the onside for an intercept.

unless the referee who's marking the 10 calls it instantly it never gets reviewed because basically the ref is admitting to making a mistake, which they don't ever do.

I've seen us penalised instantly when taking an intercept in the exact same manner that occurred yesterday and i've also seen it happen against us and we've argued whether he was on or offside before.

As soon as he raced away i knew it wasn't ever going to be reviewed.

Yep. I don't understand how the linesman didn't call it, or the pocket ref didn't call it, but 9 times out of 10 when a field-length intercept or break like that happens they want to check the start to make sure. Hell they knew to check Holmes when we had ours. **** Ben Cummins, he's earned the level of hatred I had for Stayne Hayne

Yeah but are the ones you're talking about caught from the dummy half's pass?

 

[SharkShocked]

Yes.
