Round 6 2014: Cronulla Sharks v Manly Sea-Eagles 13th April 3:00pm @ Brookvale Oval

[stormshark]

Just got back to mates place from Brookie. Endured the jackals on the hill.Manly really were not that good.We couldn't take a trick early,but we had a second half to redeem but didn't. Passmarks to Morris,Gordon,robson and maybe leuteli . Carney terrible.Reserve grade were good,Mark Mexico a big unit but a bit flat footed many times and on bench a lot but granted the team a little disorganized,Penani very dangerous.Was pointed out to me that my trip to Brookie probably cost $1000 per Sharks point per trip over the years- Barry O Farrell and the Nsw economy should encourage more interstate Sharks memberships, Very disappointing yet again!

Triple M is teeing off on the teams attitude and Peter Sharp. They are comparing Sharp to a substitute teacher and the players don't respect him.

I am going to agree.... culture has been crap for a long time. It shows when we score (on that rare occasion) other teams come running in a embrace but we meander in with no real entusiasm - this has been happening for ages. We were ordinary today! Fifita was crap today...however - I reckon the best way to fire him up every week, is put his brother in the same team. Both fifitas competing and messing around like its their backyard - I know I would lift if I was playing alongside my bro - even if just to bet him! Nothing to lose now we are 1 and 5!

They should drop him and put his brother in. That would really fire him up for the following week! :glasses-cool:

One positive out of a very bleak day was Ricky's defence on Jamie Lyon. I also liked the idea of Todd feeding the scrum so that
he was not an obvious target in the backline. Not sure though if Channel Nine will be rushing to have us on Sunday afternoons for some time.
That's two out of two blow outs.

Yep, Ricky had a big ask & answered it. So what if he didn't score 5 tries to win us the match?

He prevented as many.

Thank **** ayshford wasn't marking Lyon

I had to work all weekend so only just finished watching the replay just now.

Thank god I didn't have to watch that in real time.

Roll on...

Interesting i heard rabs say Gal told him he was hopeful of playing a game to be fit for the test match. But now thats unlikely. The bloke is unbelievable. His team is getting ass raped week in week out and all he wants is his rep honours

The draw is done for the year. Thankfully we don't have another Sunday game until rd.18 vs knights.
We got a bunch of Saturday & Monday games. We don't get a Friday game until Rd.16 vs Broncos so it looks like fta delayed games in rounds 16,18 & again in 19 vs Cowboys.

No, I don't mean that at all.

I mean that if I didn't have to work this weekend I would have forked over the cash, made the effort and spent the time to stand at the ground and watch that crap.

Manly barely got out of 2nd gear today and we've blown a foofitah valve just trying to keep up.

Manly were terrible in that 2nd half, scoreline could have been a lot worse than the Newcastle game.

I just read the NSW cup report on sharks.com about our win over Manly today, did I read it correctly about George Rose playing for us today? How did Mexico go by the way?

 

[Tatus]

He plays for the storm, it shouldn't be that big of a surprise. There was a photo floating around on FB of him in our colours, doesn't look half bad.

 

[sharkboy18]

Oh yeah I forgot about that deal with Melbourne, how many Storm players were in the NSW cup team today?

[sharkboy18]
