Sutton you cheating farking khunt

He's been a fuking disgrace in this 2nd half.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Saab can’t even score on a breakaway now. Hook him too!

 

[HK_Eagle]

Sharks were there for the taking this second half. Our execution has been woeful and didn't go close to matching the effort.

 

[HoldenV8]

The Sharks failed to get to 50. We can still win the premiership.

 

[mjb136]

If only we hadn't given away a 30 point halftime deficit. Harper should never wear the jersey again, he has to go.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

At least they didn’t give up a good change at 1/2 time , Koula hopefully has got that centre spot

 

[Theoneyedeagle]

Taleki had a great game but no way he gets anywhere near those stats if we started Koula

 

[davohan123]

If only we hadn't given away a 30 point halftime deficit. Harper should never wear the jersey again, he has to go.

You know even one or 2 of those dumb tries we let in we win tonight.

no fullback no bench
no forwards and we took it to them.

I thought we would lose by 50 after that first half.

we will get them back at home later on in the year.

harper can’t be in the squad ever again. We looked completely different team second half.

 

[davohan123]

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

 

[Chunkytuna]

At least they didn’t give up a good change at 1/2 time , Koula hopefully has got that centre spot

He has to start next week. He was 100 times better than Harper.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Hynes post match said they targeted the left side defence as it has leaked so much all season.

Shame on Des for persisting with Harper.

The way Koula defended how can he miss out next week before you even consider his attack.

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

 

[eagleron]

Sharks were there for the taking this second half. Our execution has been woeful and didn't go close to matching the effort.

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

 

[JakeyB789]

I’ll take that as a win if it means Harper never plays a game for us again. Single handedly lost us the game in the first half and the difference between him and Koula was there for all to see. Des has a lot to answer for bringing him back into the team after his garbage performances at the end of last year and to start this season, who ever could have seen that coming against Talakai. Clearly not the genius Des.

Very proud of the effort in the second half though despite all the injuries and the huge deficit. The next few weeks will be tough to field a team but if we play like we did in the second 40 we’ll win more than we lose.

 

[Highflier]

Koula has done nothing but make his case to be 1st picked in that center spot with Parker who was also strong defensively tonight . .If not for 1 or 2 soft trys not let in so easily or at all it could have been different story ,anyway lets hope that our injuries arent too bad .
Talk about a game of 2 halves
Sippers good Foz excellent Croker and Lawton worked hard ,Davey good .
A bad start to the game and we just couldnt fix it quickly enough

 

[Under the Sticks]

received zero set restarts this game...

Very suss

 

[HK_Eagle]

Surely, that is Harper out, at least for some period of time. I can understand why Des brought him back tonight (don't agree, but understand his thinking). Harper's been a bit better in his last couple of games, and Des was probably worried about the rookie marking up on Talaki (ironic yes). However, after that showing tonight, that will surely force Dessie's hand and we will see Koala taking Harper's centre position for at least the next few weeks???
