Due to a ridiculously busy weekend, I have only just had the chance to watch this game on NRL.com.
And what a game it was! I haven't seen Sharks attack like that since the days of ET and the Peach! Offloads, support players coming from everywhere and line breaks all over the park, it was awesome!
The thing that really built that win, and the one against the Mergers, was the defence. Only two tries to the Panthers and one a lucky result from a spilled kick. We have been absolutely belting teams in defence, our forwards are coming off their line at speed and hitting with real venom. They completely dominated yesterday and let's not forget, Penrith have a pretty big and talented pack.
Everyone seemed to do their job well but what about Pommeroy!!?? Collis will be struggling to get his spot back the way "Big Ben" played, he was busting the line regularly.
Collis' best chance to get back in the team is to come onto the wing replacing Matty Wright, who is playing well but probably lacking a little pace for a winger. He is getting burned a littel when they kick in behind him and he has to turn and chase. He made some strong runs though and I would like to see him in the centres at some time in the future.
I know everyone will be excited about the performance of Kelly, which was fantastic but you can't overlook Gallen, who once again was an absolute machine with offloads, try-assists and tackles galore. He is unbelievable.
Anyone still not BELIEVE?
Who got man of the match, by the way?
