This is the year of firsts. Beat roosters and cows twice in one year, gal beat Farah for the 1st time (sure that was the case, if I recall the commentary ) this is the year we put our manly demons to bed in a emphatic display.

I do have faith we can win this game against the old enemy .
If our forwards dominate and our defense holds Manly to 3 tries or less .
We now have a good enough attack to score more .
Go Sharks , aim up and do us proud .

Balls that up . Bummer :(

We don't Egg, Storm game & Manly game proved if its reffed with a slow ruck we are goners, we said after the Storm game, we need to learn from it, guess what, we didnt, shows that we are so limited in our attack & too much reliance is on Ennis to get us points, his TA for us prove this.

I can't disagree Bundy .
But I suppose we've got to give some credit too , Manly's defense was pretty awesome yesterday .

I critised our win against the Tigers saying we should be playing much better but got shot down with people basically saying 'but we won so it doesn't matter'

Nah I said the same thing mate. Very average over the last month.

and I shouldn't say shot down haha. They just were happy with the win I guess

I kept telling myself before yesterday's game "we've been average for the last 3 games but we've won 2, that's what good teams do, win when not playing well." That's been completely sucked our of me after yesterday. I'm actually thankful we're not playing Easts this week.

In your head, rent free
we've been average for 24 games, just teams are more average than us

we found a way to win that doesnt always work

we dont have the skill of other halves, or the damaging backs

but we have a game plan that works

until Gallen

I'm guessing the team misread you Vic. You said 'put the demons to bed' not 'create more'

this.

We have won what 14 games? And still have a negative for and against. We have won some tight games, we've had some actual high lights with individual displays or even some team efforts to put on tries. But when we attacked that try line for 60 something percent of the first half, and went into the sheds 2 points down, i knew we werent going to win.

Bird tries, but he is just guilty of running sideways as much as possible trying to find something, and usually makes no ground and just gets tackled.

Ennis has 15 or 16 try assists for the season, its remarkable for him, as obviously he is good at what he does, but it says a lot for the team when thats our go to. a short ball to a guy to go over. We tried it all night, but their defence was too tight last night and those holes didnt exist.

Looking forward to having 2 genuine players in our halves. No offence to Bird as he has had a ripper season, but he shouldnt be in the 6 again
