Game Day: Sharks v Manly [Round 7, 2022]

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Lost this one at the kickoff. In fact we may have lost it before the kickoff. Unbelievably piss-poor effort.

How many tries has Parker let in tonight compared to Harper??

Its about 5-0 to Miami Vice right now.

Yep, Parker is one of the better players for us so far (not a high bar). They’ve been the whipping boys this year to the point if one plays bad it’s assumed they both played bad.

I’d like to see Kohl’s come on at left centre and switch Parker to the right. We can’t keep Harper out there unfortunately and putting Kouka on Talaki in this form could be pretty detrimental to his development.

 

[Ryan]

Okay, I'm sitting on the PC and have stopped watching. Is there anyone with an iron stomach able to sit through another half of this crap and watch?

 

[Pete W]

@Volley Mate unfortunately I'm not joking. Going senile is a terrible thing for all involved

 

[bob dylan]

Anyone reckon the sin bin was justified..

No - but its but it was least of ourb issues.

 

[Jerry1]

And I never say this but

Parker is having a real dig and going well in defence.

Parker is clearly our best player out there tonight.

I just want us to show some fight in the second half.

I gave him a rap myself off site..

 

[QLDSeaeagle]

REMEMBER. 2005 at Toyota Park we were humiliated 68-8 by the fish.

 

[Eddie Rapido]

The really good thing is there wont be a team in NRL not watching this.

I can't see Harper or Saab playing much first grade again.

Not for 15 other Coaches lol.

 

[davohan123]

Unless we make a dramatic comeback in the 2nd half ... its going to be a very LONG long weekend.....

Agreed and it's only Thursday.

just hurts that they are even having a dig tonight.

This could be a very ugly night for us if we are not careful.

60+ scoreline could be on the cards.

 

[Ben]

Looks like Harper just got hooked at half time

 

[HoldenV8]

Parker is miles ahead of anybody else on our team tonight.

TBH Parker and Garrick are the only ones out there who can hold their heads up right now.

Reubs is clearly playing busted but he's giving it everything.

 

[niccipops]

Player swap for second half.
Harper for the shark beast.

Anyone reckon the sin bin was justified..

Faark no.
Ridiculous.
They did seem to defend better for most of that 10 though.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

No need to panic guys and gals.... I said earlier in the week we were in for trouble tonight without those three props, add in Schu and Turbo, Koula for Harper, Tippytoes for Saab - that will look like a pretty decent side

 

[Pete W]

I find not controlling the ruck with these two missing, and then we are compensating putting more players around the ruck, causing overlap out wide, to go with edge defence sliding backwards

Missing two props shouldn't equate to 32 points

 

[Simonmyers11]

Show some pride here. At least win the second half.

 

[Ryan]

Yeah Des did decide the defence structure tonight. It’s simply not been executed. Harper is completely rattled, the storm did it to him last year as well.

No mate. Des over valuated Harper's ability in defense, and expected more from him. What he got was swiss cheese.

 

[eagleron]

The really good thing is there wont be a team in NRL not watching this.

I can't see Harper or Saab playing much first grade again.

Hopefully not

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Our for and against tonight will see us slip back well in the 8, might in fact even go out of the 8.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Wish we could sign Talakai

Before this game would have been great

 

[Bill Phlake]

Maybe our lads need animal nicknames to make it legit like. Where's the wombat, the mule, the ox and the snake and the like? Any takers for the poodle? I got one. He's in the centres. Yuck.
