Post-Game Discussion Sharks v Manly [Round 7, 2022]

[40 nil]

Our first half was diabolical & the Sharks second half was ordinary.

Some good performances in the second half by Lawton, Foran & several others. Unfortunately, our injured list became longer. The best outcome from this game is that Koula should now be a starting player. The team needs ways to utilize him fully in attack.

My prediction (depending to some extent which troops are available) is that we will play very well next week

Koula has to be starting now , no way harper plays next week.

Watch him be picked in run on side on teamlist Tuesday.

 

[Bill Phlake]

Not as bad as it looks I reckon. Showed abit o' character in the second. A fightin' fit squad when it counts at the business end might go far with afew fingers crossed. UP THE LADS IN MAROON!!!

 

[Nike]

Only saw the second half, can anyone give a quick recap on Harpers performance?

Koula looked good in the second half though, he's strung some consistently good games together now and shown he's a first grader so I think Harper falls back in the pecking order regardless.

 

[HK_Eagle]

It was raining and we lost 3 forwards to injury so I reckon you are a tad harsh!

Not at all. Watch the second half again. We had plenty of opportunities and we just failed to execute. The effort was outstanding and impressive turn around. In better conditions and with a bit more polish we would have run them down quite easily.

 

[eagleron]

We'd have wone by 12 if Tom was out there

[Terry Zarsoff]

Some good will come from it.

Poor old Harper. I like him, but I think we have seen the future, his name is Pepsi.

If he had played for 80, I doubt if these Nine commentators would be having wet dreams right now about this caveman quasi-terrorist type from Cronulla.

 

[joeboy]

Pay no mind to the “comeback” doing so does a disservice to how horrible we were in the first half.

Celebrating Getting to 10 behind when the other team is cruising as they have already blown us to bits does not a lesson make.

Limits damage to our for
And against and gives us something to build off. But the first half has to be concentrated On, Not the 2nd half.

Send soul glo to Siberia

Damn we have some injuries now

Can Jake play a single game without giving away 6 again?

The gulf between cherry and foran’s leadership actions was immense tonight

 

[mickqld]

received zero set restarts this game...

Yep Sutton was just another whistle clown

That would have put the wind up them tonight, I reckon you're right ️

 

[Chunkytuna]

Can’t wait to read the useless injury report that won’t tell us anything about the myriad of busted players.

 

[Highflier]

Watch him be picked in run on side on teamlist Tuesday.

Surely not ,I mean he was hooked. How can there be any credibility from the coaching staff in picking him to start again next week ?
Off to BWSE Morgan get some confidence back and go from there

 

[Class of 96]

Very proud of the team that 2nd half. Very gutsy performance give the gun players out and the injuries. Impressed a lot!

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Can’t be too unhappy with that second half. Could have copped a flogging but instead we showed some courage and actually made a game of it. Thought Rueben, Lawton, Scorpio and Tippytoes all played hard, as did Foz, who always does.

Last thing we need are more injuries but at least we can take something away from the game.

 

[47MVEagle]

I said it in the other thread - as soon as Turbo's back:

1. Turbo
2. Garrick
3. Koula
4. Parker
5. Tuipulotu

Saab looked out of his depth even when Koula shored up our defence on that side, he did well under a couple of kicks but forced a couple of silly passes & just looks like he has no confidence right now.

this pretty much sums up Harpers night

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I wonder when the complaints will start up about Narc Park’s playing surface?

Maybe the Roosters need to pop down there shortly.

Oh no poor Tent, he has played well tge last couple of weeks and was building on that..

Disaster for the big fella

 

[Mitch]

Why am I somewhat content after this game knowing:

Koula now has a centre spot moving forward.

Bullemor now will play in his preferred middle position.

Also we need some reinforcements in Schuster, Marty and Keppie back next week badly!
