Post-Game Discussion Sharks v Manly [Round 21, 2023]

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Jake hit in the head from a swinging arm. Off to HIA from the independent doctor but crickets from the fuking bunker. What a farce that was.

Known as "The Reverse Moses"…

 

[Sheikheagle]

The south's loss earlier on the year is proving costly right now.

Yep probably a few games short.

And the draw against drug castle.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I'll take a deflating win over a deflating loss any day of the week. And really, given we lost three middle forwards and played without much luck or possession in the second half, it wasn't even truly deflating. The Warriors and Cowboys also let good leads slip this weekend (not as good as ours, but still) after fatigue set in and the momentum went against them. In the end, we got the result we deserved.

Agree. Letting leads slip, the Cranberry Raiders do it all the time.

Seibold....

That movie never gets old. Oh yes, we can laugh about it now. 😱

Probably been said before but thank **** Lodge was in the team today. Like him or hate him he's a big body that adds punch to the side. I love Paseka but he still doesn't bend the line enough given his size. Lodge was in my opinion huge today given his probable lack of fitness.

Agree. He was in everything, that bloke.

People calling this a pathetic victory, do the Shark supporters call it a great defeat?

At the end of the day a valiant defeat gets you 0 points on the ladder. A win where you cling on by your fingertips gets you 2 points.

 

[NREagle]

Kelma made plenty of tackles (40 - only Croker made more at 42) when we really needed him to after losing Paseka and Aloiai (and Jake for a while).

Much more impressed with his defence since he came back from injury.

Keep at it!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Yeah fox were also riding the sharks home. Cooper Cronk was right behind them.

I understand Coop has been ‘right behind’ some of the Cronulla jokers numerous times. Especially ‘Big Dale’.

 

[Ryan]

Fitzgibbon said in the presser the refs decisions were against them haha. That'll do me ! He reckons he'll be following it up with the NRL this week.

 

[The Who]

Now I understand why Boldy picked six props in the 17 . . . three of them were going to be injured.
Lodge was outstanding and Al was having a good match prior to the injury. Bad luck for Tent who has been very good this season.
Surely everyone can see that Jurbo is a prop. He is a one-trick pony: the best tackler in the business. But he never beats a player and dies with the ball far too often. Is it a tactic to use him as the fourth tackle option? It seems to me he just kills the attack. I love him dearly as a player, but lets just use him for what he is good at, tackling.

Yeah, I dropped an expletive and the coffee I was having when I watched it, hit my computer screen. Seriously, what a goose.

It must be the head gear, he has been really solid since his return from facial injury. 👏🏻

Have to admit...no Lodge...no win.

From nrl.com........

Manly are set to be without props Taniela Paseka and Josh Aloiai for an extended period after the pair suffered injuries in their side's 30-26 victory against the Sharks on Sunday.

Paseka was taken from the field in the fourth minute with a suspected Grade 3 MCL injury after his right leg was twisted in a tackle involving Cronulla forwards Dale Finucane and Toby Rudolf.


Aloiai was taken from the field in the 62nd minute after his shoulder had dislocated on several occasions during the match.

"I think Taniela has done an MCL, obviously he needs a scan but they feel like it's a Grade 3 so that's going to be significant," Seibold said following the match.

"And Josh's shoulder has been a little bit of an issue for him this year and it came out times during the game and obviously we took him out the game the third time he came out.

"So I think we'll lose those two guys for a significant amount of time."

That’s good re Paseka that was an ugly tackle. I thought it was going to be significantly worse.

Yeah how does suck sh*t and get fuked sound. Did he think the 2nd half was fair then. Go suck a dried dogsh*t.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

A win is a win. A long time since we won at Shark Park.
