Official Wade Graham

[Jigsaw]

*Puts hand up* I want to be the coach of the Sharks! i promise i will do a better job and win us a P in 2 years.

Last year i said 1 should of been dropped. Smith more then Baz even though i hated the prick. But Albert Grew up with Baz as his idol so for Albert and Baz to play 2g4 in the halves Albert would of tried so much more to impress Baz with better results.

And Albert has been the star of what 4 of them 6 games? Its not his fault we are losing. And dont get me started on the Warriors game. The ball didnt even go to Alberts side at all. it was ****ed.

Graham was poor against the Knights, but we know he can play at a high level, and he's 21. The test of all young halves is to play at that high level consistently. I've seen enough of Graham (and Kelly) to be happy with their develepment if not jumping out of my skin about their week to week performances.

And your all experts in the modern game how? Ex first grade star? Coach? Or just a fat lazy bum who sits n watches the game and can nit pick and judge players? I love the 'fringe first grader' comments. Basically they are saying that the coach has no idea, and has better options but for some reason plays the fringe 1st grade players?

Mate, you come across as what you're describing more than anyone - and the post you quoted has nothing to do with "nit pick and judge players" or "'fringe first grader" or "the coach has no idea"

Unless you can do better, or have offered your knowledge in some positive way to a club, then really your pissing in the wind here

Heed your own advice

because do you think Flanno sits on this forum every tuesday and says, 'ah yes! Wilson is right, ill drop him him n him, and put in him him n him!" ****

Where has Wilson said that muppet?

Leave that **** to the professionals. None of us have any real idea, cos if we did, the Sharks wouldnt be the busted arse of the NRL

Great attitude - busted arse are we?

What results? 2 wins from 6 attempts?

If ya have that attitude, put ya ****n hand up n coach the team! And if you said Smith OR Baz should be dropped then you were wrong there chief, neither of them are there. Not just 1

Does that even make sense?

Pull your head in angry boy. You know ****.

Someone is in the middle of their menstrual cycle...WTF is your problem Black White and Blue?

 

[Gards]

Graham and Kelly are great for us. No doubt. Oh and bastard, i think you are the first to mention Tim Smith in a long time. I actually forgot he still existed lol

Yea it's refreshing to be bagging the **** out of another half back for a change.

As for suggestion to move graham to 5/8 I would prefer leave Kelly there as he's going well - he's an instinctive attacking player, why hamper him with more organisational responsibiliities and who knows how he would handle it.

Reminds me of all the talk last year about shuffling gardner around to fix another spot but at the expense of his best position fullback.

Then we just concentrate on getting the half back spot under control, wether that's with a developing graham or someone else.... but I think stick with graham, he's inconsistant like Smith but I see graham as a longer term prospect so keep him there. Confidence will come and with that all parts of his game will improve.

It would be interesting SMitty next to Kelly but.... probably be a defensive disastor.

Ive got no problem, i just think its pathetic for 1 armchair expert to be saying another arm chair expert has no ****ing idea.

Week after week on this forum u see people say, flanno should boot him, or why the hell did flanno put him in...... these people, the coaches and trainers are the professionals here, they are the ones monitoring the players, their fitness, what they need work on, and most of all injuries.

Just cos any 17 is picked other than what YOU experts think should take the field u spit on the integrity of the Sharks staff......... like i said b4, you all think you can do a better job than these guys? Go do it........ Its the same on all league forums, Marathonstadium is the exact same....... The coach knows his players better than any of you guys. Let him decide wats best. Cos pretty sure, from the grand stand or the lounge room, what we say or think will still play no part in what occurs

 

[Jigsaw]

So what do we talk about then on a forum if we can't debate about topics?

 

[snowman]

How rubbish albert is

I'd say TITTIES would be a good place to start

Ahh, ******** - where did I say Graham should be dropped? If you need to read again;

He had a bad game, but he had a ripper last week and he's only young. Graham and Kelly are going to do this sort of stuff all year. They'll put in some performances that are anything but attractive, but then they'll also put in performances where we just blow teams off the park. This is because they're only young. You have to stick with them.

It's incredibly annoying people wanting changes like this.

You must be smoking something, or be on your rags, because I have no idea how any of your posts relate to me.

I think Flanagan's team selections have been spot on since Round 1, and have repeatedly said so. I have also never questioned the 'integrity' of the Sharks staff, so don't slander me.

I had a problem in this thread, with people who either said Graham should be dropped or moved within the team. That is an incredibly stupid idea. Cooper Cronk is a manufactured halfback, he wasn't great 6 rounds into his stint. Now people on here are now talking about throwing ****loads of cash at him. Got to have paitence.


Just for the record, I don't think I know more than Flanagan or the coaching staff, but I certainly know alot more then anyone on this site.

xoxo.

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Maybe we should use the sharksforever site to debate the appropriateness of finger pointing and statements that accuses "all of you on this site" of demaning changes etc etc etc.

I will start...................... if you don't like it Black White and Blue and can't see that these are "opinions" which "all of us" are entitled to express, certainly not "instructions" to suggest "all of us" know better than the professional staff at the sharks, then maybe you belong on LU with the other totally useless wankers that frequent that site.

Oh and by the way, wilson certainly knows alot more than me!

Whilst I have never wanted Graham dropped.

I must say I do have concerns about him in the 7 for next year etc.

Last year when everyone was showing all the love to Graham (including myself), after we signed him I was cut down by a number of people when I stated his' kicking game was not a strength, like people were posting (I am sure people were posting despite having not watching him play much)

I have not seen anything SO FAR this season which makes me think his' kicking has improved....

Considering just how important a strong kicking game is, I think it might be VERY risky relying on him as our major kicker.

As has been stated by a heap of Penrith forum members, a number who really do know their stuff, they reckon in the long run he will be a lock (and if he doesnt improve his' kicking game there might be no option to use him at lock in the future, Like Bird)

Haha, classic. I can think of atleast three other blokes who know more than you and that doesnt even include me. You know your footy at times but to state that suggests you might be a manic depressive. Maybe pop into your local GP for a diagnosis. Funny ****.

We got 20 year old halves, they're gonna struggle with consistency. Just something we're gonna have to cop. They will only get better with experience and they will only get that by being given the time to learn their craft at the top level.

Wait till both Graham and Kelly turn up with an off game, you'll be spewin' then. It'll happen but and we'll look very ordinary. But when they both turn up and turn it on we'll see score lines like against Penrith.

If you don't agree that time, patience and perseverance is whats needed with our halves then at least tell us who this consistent first grade half is whose begging to replace them.

 

[sharkyboy]

could nto have said it better myself capital! the stuggles early on will turn into gold later on. if we let them learn and experience!

 

[Bundy Shark]

This is not related to Wade Graham so I maybe shouldnt be posting here but considering some of the quotes already posted its appropriate imo, yes our halves are making/taking silly options but that whats you get w/ youth.
What we are getting this yr unlike the last few yrs is a bit of spark in attack & some of that is due to our young halves.

 

[Capital_Shark]

We've put up with 'experienced' and 'proven' halves taking silly options and being inconsistent for ages in recent history. I'd rather my 20yr old rookie halves be inconsistent thanks to their inexperience than my established halves be inconsistent depending on what rep jerseys might be available.

If I could have sex with this post I would. Instead, I'll just rep it.

 

[Blix]

There is a difference between consistency, and just plain out not having a kicking game!

I am happy to stick with him for at least a comp, but, if a proven halfback with a quality kicking game bcomes available, we would be silly to take the risk that Graham's kicking game is going to go from bad to really good.

Anyway not meant to be bagging him, I am stoked we have him, BUT, at least I would expect people to straight shoot, his' kicking game has been average it really does need to improve.

 

[sharkyboy]

and ill do the same to you just becuase of your response. id have sex with this response, raise it and grow it until it was one almighty thread in itself and then reproduce many other threads of this standard. yeah.
