2 from 5 is not good and if we lose to the winless knights next week this forum will be in meltdown.On what i saw from the knights and us it has to be a good possibility
 
We missed less tackles, we broke more tackles, we made less errors, completed better, scored the same amount of tries and were within striking distance or in front for 75 minutes against a team that will finish top 4 in 2016\. Personally I am happy with the result when looking at the quality of the 2 squads. Sharks are a top 4 team and we competed for 80 minutes
 
Knights will roll us and knock up their first win of the season, put your house on it. We have a habit of allowing teams to get the monkey off their back.

Sharks were to fast , to big , to strong .
With our Turnstyle defence , poor discipline ,and the inability to cope with the niggle , we got what we deserved .
This team needs to go back to the basics .

Do you mean 5 hit ups and a bomb… 😱pen_mouth:

How many weeks in a row is it we let in a try right on halftime, and another right after halftime, what inspirational words does Taylor implore on these blokes in his pre game and halftime speeches.

Two words, Tim and Grant. Last year they were Keith and Galloway, as we lose the middle when they are/were off.

Lovett, Cherrington and Rankin need replacing. Rankin didn't do anything wrong, but doesn't do anything great either.

Chee Kam for Lovett
Joel Edwards for Cherrington
Addo Carr or Justin Hunt for Rankin

Lovett was solid today and Chee-Kam didn't stand out in NSW Cup.

Agree with Joel Edwards for Cherrington

Ado-Carr was rubbish in NSW Cup today and Hunt is injured still. Rankin is the best option although Chance Peni was solid but played centres
 
We need better goal kicker than Moses & Rankin, where is Richards when you need him :slight_smile:
Our 2nd rowers did not play with the energy from the 1st half.
Farah was again disappointing in attack, player on 900k shall contribute much more :frowning:
Our props were very good, especially Woods, he played 70 min, 171 m from 16 runs, 38 tackles 2 MT.
IMHO, if Halatau is in the team, we need another prop or 2nd rower on the bench, Chee-Kam, Griffin or Edwards.
Again like in the last few games, why Aloiai plays only 23 minutes?
Too many missed tackles, Brooks 7 and Naiqama 6, in total 35 vs opposition's 22 :frowning:
Lovett was solid, but we need a better player in his position.

That would be a great start, Taylor surely can't keep trotting out the same blokes every week and hoping something will change, surely he is not that stupid.

It's nicely set up isn't it.
We'll lose, Taylor will get the ass and the merry go round will start again.
We'll also commit to a 50/50 split of games at LO and CSS to ensure our financial future. And balmain will get a 59 year extension to repay the debt.

What is the go with Cherrington - what a waste of the bench

You're correct, he should be starting. :slight_smile:

I was referring to wasting a spot for someone to play a few minutes .
And the few minutes he has played has been substandard anyway.
He needs more time in reggies.
Taylor must have rocks in his head to use someone for 10 minutes over 2 games.

You know what I mean … Don't start :wink:

Ball security /tackling / positional play and a decent goal kicker wouldn't go astray !!!!
Without Tedesco this teams a State cup side IMO

Yep agree. Dont know what everyone else was watching. We had no ball in the second half got caned by the refs the penalty against Farah in front was atrocious, and the offside pass in the try to Barba laughable. Our forwards when we had the ball were all over them.One of the biggest problems I see is goalkicking. They are niggling side and they did get the better of us there- hate losing but the bagging of the team for that performance is unwarranted in my opinion.
 
All I can ad is that we need to have a better rapport with the ref's, suck right up to them, they love being brown nosed, work out how Ennis can manipulate them while robbing us blind.
 
without going back pages to check if mentioned in that last try by Cronulla Ennis elbowed one of our defenders out of way a bit when chasing Barba towards in goal. Without that try could have been a different game.

We may lose against the Knights
Taylor won't get the chop
We should have one home (1 x game each year for both Leichardt and Campbelltown for old times sake only)
Balmain should get an extension

Nuff said

Bad bench balance again with only one prop. How bloody hard is it to select a balanced bench?

I think the bench and the interchange need some work. We seemed to just run out of gas at some point.
