yeah Fitzy's a joke, thought the ref favoured no one tbh, he seemed intent on pulling everything up tho. He penalized half grabs around the neck but let go the high shot put on Jake, even the bunker bunnies missed it...mmm.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.
He should also have been binned for that deliberate trip on Tolu. that would have been 6 points straight under the posts.Sharks superstar Nicho Hynes could find himself in hot water after a frustrated outburst directed at touch judge Belinda Sharpe on Sunday afternoon.
Don't think there season ending LC, the line reporter said Paseka had a probable ligament strain and looking at 2-3wks and 3wks for Aloiai. Lets just hope that's what they both are.Cronk worked closely as a player and specialty coach under/with Fitzy at the Chooks so no doubt explains his bias in the commentary box today.
As for our season and where we will finish? I think we took a big hit today in losing Paseka and (to a lesser extent) Aloiai. They'll be lucky to play again this year and we just do not have the pack to combat the loss. Lodge is obviously a plus, but a plus we needed on top of Paseka and Aloiai, not a substitution. Very disappointing as it seems every time we have a galvanising victory, it comes at a cost.
GusT of wind carries on a bit, he's so bitter and twisted about his Doggies now. It's just sarcasm and jokey comments now. When they shot up the Bulldogs Riff fulltime score, he just kept it short and sweet, oh, they (Bulldogs) have a lot of injuries...thats it..lol.Gould was absolutely gagging for a sharks win the whole game. It was horrid
The period when Jake left the field after the high shot he coped was the turning point. First 20m of the 2nd half we tackled everything but then we started to wilt with the Sharks having a mountain of possession, 2nd 20m it was only scrambling defence that was left, but ultimately it was enough for us to win the game, and that's all that matters.Phew, was in all sorts of bother those last 15 minutes,nightmares of the Storm and Cows games last year.
At least there were obvious reasons this time round, so in the end we won, and did so being gassed with only 1 player on the bench left.
Well done lads
How the tackle on Tent wasn't a penalty and a bin I have no idea.
That type of tackle is far worse than the so called hip drops some get pulled up for.
Plenty of teams doing it too.
And Jake's HIA and no penalty, wow............
I remembered this morning boys and girls - the tackle on Paseka was classed as the wishbone tackle (or chicken wing). Here is the NRL's comments and penalties for said tackle:
Chicken wing tackles
A torsion/flexion of limbs (chicken wing) is a breach of the code where a player uses any part of his body to forcefully twist, bend or apply pressure to a limb or limbs of an opposing player in a way that involves an unacceptable risk of injury to that player. A defending player will be charged with this offence if the limb or limbs of the attacking player are moved in an abnormal direction or outside the usual ranges of movement.
What are the key indicators of this charge?
The limb must be taken past its normal range of movement with the contact by the defending player. The defender may have placed dangerous pressure on the limb to place the attacker to gain an advantage or control the tackle. The contact must be deemed as unnecessary and avoidable.
Sea Eagles forward Haumole Olakau'atu and Bulldogs forward Corey Waddell were the other players charged after Sunday's matches.
I didn't really see it (I sound like a coach, lol) but apparently it wasn't that bad...not 3k bad anyway.
I think that is a fair assessment and I would add one more thing. The few minutes of craziness may never have happened if not for a poor decision at the 68th minute. It was when Haumole had Koula and Saab outside him with only one defender and instead of passing it to Koula he ran back inside for some reason. I'm not trashing Haumole for it coz these things happen (Kennedy also had an overlap and kicked it instead) but it was a crucial decision. That try seals it and there's no way we would have been as gassed as we were in the last 10 mins and the wind would have been taken out of the Sharks sails.Look Manly fell away 2nd half and Cronulla scored a few softies in quick succession which was terrible to watch.
Now I want you to go outside and try drive your car missing a wheel and see how you go....
This is Exactly the effect of missing your 3 front rowers (which was the case) 2nd half and having posession go against you 3/1....
Also some bizarre calls including -
High shots where we lost players (no bin or even a penalty)
A blatent trip which is auto 10m and can be a send off
3 straight up knock ons and play on
Time off called when penalties blown - 1st time seen this in footy ???
I will put the hand up and say there was some tragic defence that imo was unacceptable, however with the way this played out I can confidently say the way the game (was officiated and key player outs) any team, bar Penrith or Souths would have crumbled and been lucky to hold on with the same situation, so personally I'm happy to have grabbed the 2 points.
Also thought Lodge stood up BIG time when we needed someone to in the middle and was the key reason Manly didn't get completely rolled through the guts, which would have ended in an easy Sharks win, so great debut from a bloke who showed he wanted "to Win'' and earn respect as a player, which I feel so far, he delivered.
Your spot on 100%....should have been a try and they gained energy and every call even more from that point....I think that is a fair assessment and I would add one more thing. The few minutes of craziness may never have happened if not for a poor decision at the 68th minute. It was when Haumole had Koula and Saab outside him with only one defender and instead of passing it to Koula he ran back inside for some reason. I'm not trashing Haumole for it coz these things happen (Kennedy also had an overlap and kicked it instead) but it was a crucial decision. That try seals it and there's no way we would have been as gassed as we were in the last 10 mins and the wind would have been taken out of the Sharks sails.
I also think some are being a bit harsh on Woods' performance. I'm not a Woods fan really and if Aloiai and Paseka weren't injured, I wouldn't have him in the 17. But I just watched the replay again and whilst he didn't light up the park, he did take some good carries and made some decent tackles. He's going to be in the team now for the rest of the year I reckon, so it might be time to get behind him and hope he can help get us close to the Finals.
Again, I'm not sure he's playing as bad as we might think. After watching the replay this morning, he did a lot of good things - good tackles, he's running hard. I'm not saying he's a World beater or we couldn't have someone better but he has certainly come back from his injury, a better player. I was specifically watching him and Woods coz they get a lot of stick and frankly, I wasn't a fan of either. But I do see more upside to Kelma at this point. I'm not sure who we would replace him with right now anyway. I think Fainus days in 1st Grade are gone since he signed with the Tigers and Ben won't be back any time soon. Not sure but I think he's worth persevering with for now.Yes, we lost three props (Tent, Al and Jurbo) but we still had props in Kewpie, Lodge and Woods. I'm not sure we can simply blame injuries for our 'white flag' defence.
Is it just me or is Kelma unworthy of a place in our top 17? I have been so disappointed and underwhelmed by his performances.
Think Kelma had the most tackles, not Croker this time. 40 something I believe. He's improving with every game for mine.Yes, we lost three props (Tent, Al and Jurbo) but we still had props in Kewpie, Lodge and Woods. I'm not sure we can simply blame injuries for our 'white flag' defence.
Is it just me or is Kelma unworthy of a place in our top 17? I have been so disappointed and underwhelmed by his performances.
