Next few weeks will be rough need to get our troops back on deck fully expecting a few losses we can fill a hole or two but we aren't strong enough for 4 or more.

Sukkars tried but not impactful
Tino disaster for the young fella
Toa honestly the same as he has always been

What worries me honestly was our turuva seemed very uninterested to me didn't attack the ball and only ran 11 time

I think this is a massive lesson.

Skelton and Turuva have really improved our defence on the wing.

3 tries coming from Kl Iro and it's clear we are not defending on the edges. Yes Skelton has problems but Faaletino is not up to it. Why did Benji leave him on for so long.

Our completion rate has been around 90% this season. Seriously really high.
This game it drops to 60%. We lost control of the ruck and without Api we clearly lost possession. 🙁

We are going ot be in for a few tough games till Api gets back.

Sharks are a smart team they go after your weaknesses all day. Tavana, Toa, Madden had absolute barry crockers. Their defence is not first grade level. Sharks do this to teams they are flat track bullies for a reason.

I left at halftime wisely Bigger issue for us is not the loss its the injuries. We are losing our best players. That said that's why you start 5-2 we just need to jag another win somehow.

but its not like we havent had injuries all seasons i mean AD looked injured after the 3rd game he still played and we won most those games even with bad young wingers

From all reports he did a knee or ankle at training and he looked it out there. Clearly struggled. Think he played because he signed and it would be a bad look if he didn't.

Just putting rumora together could be totally wrong

Mate, TOA was a gotdamn turnstile, tavana made errors but he was trying his heart out, Toa just left him alone and isolated and platted the game of a deadset bludger… it was pathetic
 
I expected it to be a tough game with the players we had out and I was ok going in at half time with the game still within reach even though we had made silly errors. To see the absolute implosion for the second half was a tough watch. Losing is one thing but that was total surrender & lack of effort by too many players. With AD & Samuela injured today our depth is going to be a real issue for the next few weeks. Toa was a traffic cone & doesn’t deserve to play NRL again.
