**live game feed ** vs the Sharks

[YesHeCheeKam]

Too many errors again have put us under pressure. Also some slow D on the edges from Luc and TT. Thats pretty much the difference.
One annoying thing is giving up on stopping scorers from scoring under the posts- shows a lack of fight.
Mbye is playing better than usual. AD needs to have a bigger go.

Is AD a bit of a one trick pony? He doesn't have the acceleration that the good halves have. Had some good game sthrough cutout balls which seems to of been nullified last few weesk.

Well we’ve got the breeze with us this half 🤪

Shop Luciano pls

We are doing everything in slow motion and have refused to get our heads in the match.

It’s been our plan for the entire season … pretty much since the day McGuire starting coaching … he’s a good spokesperson but he just cannot coach the team to save himself

 

[aturkey]

Also, we aren't not trying TODAY. This is hiw we play every week. The Sharks are just this much better than us. It's the reality.

Exactly. While everyone is complaining they should remember this is how we play this year under Maguire.

Nah Maguire has nothing to do with our performances. He's here to develop the youth /s

Looking forward to @happy_tiger giving us a very detailed analysis of what we didn't see on TV.

Ophenague, Utoikamanu, and Twall came to play, the rest??

Mbye has been our best, Simpkin also very good, and Joe has had some good moments

Positives
- Mbye has been great at the back considering he signed elsewhere he is having a big dig
- Young guns held there own - stefano, simpkin, blore, talau all doing their job

Negatives
- AD is shot today, he is getting left on the ground and has zero urgency in anything.
- Handling & stupid errors
- side to side shift before going forward
- 5th tackle options
- Lucy coming miles infield is creating massive issues yet again. He has been a huge liability all year and the Sharks have totally exploited him. He isn’t making up for it either with ball in hand. If he is starting for the next few years we are stuffed.

Spot on about Lucy….he has cost us two tries today

Sharks backline is slick. Metcalf is a fine player. If they put it together in the second half they will put a score on us.

Doueih is what 23 or 24? Someone has to pull him aside and read him the riot act about defence. Disgraceful. Luciano and Nofa just as bad.

 

[Tim Sheens]

At least the coach utilised the hooker rotation better today, but clearly missing Liddle's work in defence through the middle.

I’ve stopped watching

Why are we so passive. Get up and smash them. This is a must win game

Because it's a must win. Think the squad enjoys the extra long break

28 degrees; that’s ice cream weather for big Luc

Sharkies 7 is giving Brooks a bit of a lesson isn't he.

 

[Newtown]

Every sharks try came from a poor west’s tigers error. That’s gotta make them believe if they stop the basic errors we’re a chance here

Madge should be telling that the players that instead of shouting out profanities in the dressing room.

 

[hobbo1]

Joffa, Talau , Mbye our best so far ..says it all really

100% but today he just looks lethargic and off the mark.
When he makes a tackle he is left behind, no urgency to even get to marker let alone back onside.

 

[Demps]

The usual flops...
Mbye and Talau.

Have been quite decent in the first half.
Credit where credit is due.

Always harp on about how bad they are, but very solid individual performances in what has otherwise been a very average half.

 

[Harvey]

Only positive is that I backed Matulino to score a double in a multi.

Unfortunately I also had Doueihi to score & he looks like he had a double dose of Mogadon for breakfast

 

[nrlsurvivor]

I think we need to stop to offloads for the first part of this next half. Earn the right first. Get the Sharks big forward gassed with quick play the balls first.
