Very poor performance score flattered us.Sheens has a lot of ammo to fire this week hopefully they listen.If we play like that for the finals series we wont win a game.

Might be the wake up call we needed.

Our attack is what wins us games. The ability to score points when needed. Can't wait to beat the Dragons Friday night

Now people are already writing us off on other sites. Underdogs again!

We go better as underdogs imo.

:righton: Maybe that was the plan! :laughing:

I know there are lots of negatives from our last two performances but we dont win 8 games in a row very often. Great final third of the season boys and I look forward to getting to watch you go round in the finals.

Love it when we are not expected to win.

Robbie scored a hattrick in 05 - is this an omen

It is our attack that wins us games when our defence is good. And tonight it wasn't. Also looked like our attacking combinations were rusty.
We need Lawrence, Galloway and the Beauster next week!!

[happy_tiger]

We were totally dominated in the forwards tonight But we got the points
I'm not going to criticise the guys 8 straight well done
But in saying I'm not going to criticise them I hope Sheens is giving them a royal butt kicking

 

[jas83]

Was a bad game but I think the good start with 2 early tries did us more harm against the lowly placed Sharks. I dont think the short turn around did us favours against a physical Sharks forward pack. We have alot to improve on but we will lift next week against the Dragons. Remember we were poor in our last 2 games in 2005 and last season also went to another level in the Roosters semi. Our attack looks fine, just need to cut out the silly plays and mistakes. Our defense looks like it needs to be the focus in the next week but I thinks it more an attitude thing.

 

[WestsSupporter]

our defence was average as said above me. our 8 straight wins have come from good D

True. Correct me if I am wrong, but i think eight in a row (2005 and now 2011) is our best ever winning streak.

 

[Costaki]

this was always going to be a danger game, everyone was expecting to win just for showing up. very hard to get properly motivated when everyone expects you to win so easily. especially at an away game and with a couple of players out.

a couple of months ago we couldn't score a point without chris lawrence on the field so we've certainly come a long way from there.

with Chris and keithy back next week, and the hype of a final, i think the boys will be pumped and a million times better.

4th spot. amazing. well done boys!!! let's break the record and make it 9 in a row against those scummy dragons.

it is

 

[Saturnalia]

Out of the top 8 we have the 3rd best attack and the 3rd worst defence.

Spooky.

 

[Adman]

That's was a hard fought game. Perfect for next week. Dragons are gone.
