He was OK, but needs to work on a couple of things defence wise. I'd leave him there against the Bunnies though.

How good was that win, first time in a while that I have been comfortable in the last 20 minutes and could relax and enjoy the victory.. Massive props to the crew that travelled down, at 72 minutes all you could hear was everyone belting out the song!!
All the boys played solid although its a bit disappointing we let them score so many points, we dominated the entire game and let a couple of fairly easy tries in.. However, its good to see we have finally found a winning combination in the halves, With Robson controlling the game and Carney getting the ball when he wants its working well!!He is back to his career best form, his vision in the almost Hotdogs try was sensational!!
Again Gallen was as solid as they come, another game with 200+ metres, even after the game, he bearly looked like he had worked up a sweat!! And the short ball to Jez just shows his natural talent!
IMO, Biggest impact off the bench had to have been Graham, he was everywhere, made some great runs, defence was solid, Ive always like his style of play but bringing him off the bench has been the greatest move Flanno has made. He is working extremely well with Robbo and TC and having a 3rd halve on the field mid game is giving us an extra ball runner and causing gaps to appear in the opponents backline.. 20 tackles and 3 tackle breaks off the bench IMO is what we want from fresh legs..
All in all it was the first time we have showed we are premiership contenders and can score points when dominating.. We are no longer Gallens Sharks.. We are playing as a team and its showing on the ladder! Gallen and TC both in the top 10 on the Dally M leaderboard, first time in a long time we have had 2 players up there!!
Bring on Bunnies next week!

Crab got gifted meters off the drop outs.
All 3 of our props were huge.
I thought the difference in the game was Carney

Carney deserved the 3. His kicking was spot on. Best game this year

- Was nervous before game
- LOL Raiders/Fergo
- Defense? What happened there?
- Attack was great - somewhat Lang era, kicking down the blind side on 3rd tackle ect. Great to watch.
- Love that we have the Bunnies next week. Bring on 7 in a row.
- Carney is transforming this team.
- Best kicking game all round in years
- Laughed when they took the 2 points late in the game but can't blame them for wanting to 100% wrap the game up.
- Raiders fans are slitting wrists over on their forum about their players and coach. They are what the Sharks were in 2009/10. They reckon our forwards and halves owned them.
- Fifitas best game yet
- Maybe Hotdog is still a better option for sideline conversions?
Wright is outshining Gards in defense but I reckon Flanno will slot him straight back in one he's fit. Notice we arn't really getting Wright involved in any back lines movements like we did with Gards.

Yeah I had a read of the GH during the week, alot of them were certain their backrow was as good as ours. yeah right, maybe in a few years but I only really see Fensom going to a higher level. Papili and Thompson don't do it for me.

Im a massive fan of Shaun Fensom, a lot of Dallas Johnson in him.

Brilliant win yesterday by the boys.
Was so happy to see us smash the Raiders.
Hopefully 7 in a row against the Rabbits.
Earns me bragging rights over my Souths supporting mum if we get the cash on Monday night.
Loved that try right on halftime by Millsy, what a brilliant take it was to score.
UP UP CRONULLA!!!!

That offload to himself was great !
Want to see him develop his attack more otherwise he'll turn into a purely tackling machine but thats just me

I forgot to mention this but what were we thinking with the kick for two when we had 42 points?

Lol, at the time I didn't notice, then once the touch judges put their flags up and the score came on the screen and I was like: "wait, what?"
Great game to be at. Pity we were in the nosebleeds with Raiders fans.
BIG thanks to the CSSC peeps, who amused the missus to no end "is that a trumpet?" "why are they playing the Indiana Jones theme? "Who's a wanker?" "why are their hands outreached?" "can we sit there next time?".
Bless her, her first NRL game, and she was crook as a dog.

I thought for sure they would of taken the tap and chanced their hand.
P.s. is Gal ok? Saw him come off after a heavy tackle. I'm pretty sure he just wanted a rest though. Smart decision if so.
Yeah the CSSC bay was going off big time. Absolutely caned fergoscum in the first half as he was standing right in front of us.
Had the mrs with me (broncos supporter) decked out in Sharks apparel & she had a ball.
Had a massive weekend, brain dead now.

They were saying during the commentary that we needed to score 44 points to break/equal the record for most points in the game. I doubt this though, maybe just for a rest or chew up the clock? It was a pretty fast game I thought.
