Are they of the baked variety?Slaying those giants with our has beans.
I just realised we don't have a Jack in the team so I guess we're stuffed.Are they of the baked variety?
Keeping the Sharks players away from our smell?

At least this week, there is no sign of Adam "Six More against Manly " Gee as one of the Match Officials.
Not surprised on Bullys omission, his games been droping off over the last few games.Fancy getting rid of the one forward with any kind of leg speed in Bullemor? Sure, he hasn’t been great but geez he has been no worse than Woods
They have been dropping off but compared to players whose games never started in the first place, it’s a surprise. At his worst, he has offered more than Woods.Not surprised on Bullys omission, his games been droping off over the last few games.
At first glance it looks odd for sure. a young guy with potential vs an old stager who is average at best.Fancy getting rid of the one forward with any kind of leg speed in Bullemor? Sure, he hasn’t been great but geez he has been no worse than Woods
We , or at least many , on ST like to think we are expert coaches / selectors/ salary cap experts / and analysts.At first glance it looks odd for sure. a young guy with potential vs an old stager who is average at best.
Possibly a clue in statements recently by Seibold about seeking consistency, and about Paseka's re-signing and good form this year, both Seibold and Paseka mentioned his preparation was the key to his improved consistency. Maybe guys like Keppie and Bull have been skimping on their preparation, at least compared with what the coaches are wanting from them so they improve. Just a wild guess of course but there is obviously some reason for it.
As some were commenting in one of the threads, if Keppie went to Melbourne Bellamy would make him a star. How? Well he'd only go there if motivated to succeed, and if he was there Bellamy would kick him out quick smart if he wasn't totally dedicated to succeeding. Maybe Seibold is trying to lay down those standards?
I think they've dropped Moylan.Hot tip Seibold, target Moylan down the Sharks right-edge.
Sharks have been hot and cold too, but they tend to put poor teams to the sword. Their last 5 starts (not including byes)
That is some seriously confusing results. And for context, those 3 wins were Tigers, Dogs and Dragons - hardly boasting rights. Sharks can't beat a top-4 side. They are Manly of 2021.
- L 12-44
- W 36-12
- W 52-16
- W 48-10
- L 10-54
If you put pressure on the Sharks they can break - if you give them a start they go on with it. Problem is our Attack has been horrible, our Metres gained surprisingly deficient, and our handling in most of our recent games has let us down at key moments.
How do you finish a game with 86% completion, 57% possession - and yet still have a lower Metres Gained stat? Beggars belief (Roosters game, source - NRL). If it weren't for DCE's kicking, we would be losing significant ground most sets.
Is it because we are so hell-bent on completion rates (for all the good it does us....) that we have given up on spreading the ball wide and testing the edge defence? Or is our attacking form so sub-par that the only way we score on the opposition line is in that 5-min window Schuster actually plays a game - and catches a Brad special, the guy who runs one of only decent lines in the backline?
We have scored 36-pts in our last 4 games since the Dolphins slaughter, and surprise surprise, that was the last game we had Tom. Whilst our forwards haven't necessarily been dominated defensively in the middle, they haven't dominated oppositions either and bent the line in any meaningful way (with rare exceptions from Paseka or guac). The line-defence against the Cowboys was pretty good lets face it but theirs was simply better - but they were dealing with a more wooden attack and didn't need to work as hard.
Our attack, without Tom, is pedestrian and predictable. That's our problem right now, and we won't make the 8 as a result.
Oh well... bugger. I'll check the team lists next timeI think they've dropped Moylan.
Despite that, I think your comments about defence and wooden attack are pretty fair.Oh well... bugger. I'll check the team lists next time
They have. Trindall is in.I think they've dropped Moylan.
