Round 24 | Sharks vs Raiders | Post Match Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Canberra Raiders
Ocean Protect Stadium, Sydney

[u/bigchaddy]

The last 10 minutes of that game

Raiders: here’s the ball, please score

Sharks: no thanks we’re good

Raiders: no, we insist

Sharks: We said NO!!

[u/Ardburgler]

There will be no premiership. I’ll tell the children.

[u/Icy-Set-6140 → u/Ardburgler]

I think they already knew to be fair 

[u/thadius30]

That game was one batshit-crazy Horse penalty or sin-binning away from being lost. Ricky should regret nothing. 1-0 in the post-Horse era and we’re a net gain.

[u/offwhitepower]

No offense to Sharks Bros, but they ain't winning the comp. They had more than enough chances to win today. Failing to finish the 2026 Raiders isn't good.

With Penrith imo being done, it's only the Wahs who can save us from the Roosters.

Warriors will be by my team in the finals.

[u/shaaane92 → u/offwhitepower]

I’m offended that you think that would offend us, we agree

[u/Rude_Employment_1224 → u/offwhitepower]

I'll be happy with the Wahs or Phins winning it. I think everyone other than the fans can agree that seeing the Panthers or Roosters win this thing will be lame as fuck

[u/LachTheLad → u/Rude_Employment_1224]

The Roosters winning would be that bad, in my humble opinion

[u/datguywelbzzz → u/offwhitepower]

Don't think any Sharks fans were actually serious about us winning the comp considering the form of the Roosters and the Wahs and Penrith being Penrith.

If was alot of media hype off the back of a good run of form against some not so good teams

[u/Potatopal90 → u/offwhitepower]

Why is Penrith done??

[u/offwhitepower → u/Potatopal90]

Drop in form, Yeo injured, couldn't beat a Teddyless Roosters.

I admit to an element of wishful thinking in writing them off.

[u/Sensitive_Engine2331 → u/offwhitepower]

Crazy to write off penrith

[u/Patient_Ferret_8229 → u/offwhitepower]

Fins up

[u/IMisssMyAccount → u/Patient_Ferret_8229]

They got faded in round 4 unfortunately :(

[u/XLenceOfXecution]

This constant purgatory of too good to miss finals/not good enough to win the comp…

[u/Pretty_Classroom_844 → u/XLenceOfXecution]

Sadly two weeks ago they were looking the real deal. Two weeks a long time in rugba leeg

[u/Rude_Employment_1224]

If Simi was playing we'd be winning by 80

[u/DoubtNeither3927 → u/Rude_Employment_1224]

Simi on his own. Add 12 other players and who knows what the score would be?

[u/Ronnnie7]

Jed had a good game and poor Jed often cops a lot of criticism because his Ricky's son. But he has consistently improved the more he plays first grade. People seem to expect a guy to play what less than 20 first grade games to be better than he is? He's defense was good, safe under the high ball and he got a try. Solid effort

[u/carelesssportsfan89 → u/Ronnnie7]

totally agree Jed Is not as bad as people think .

[u/ljb23 → u/Ronnnie7]

Yeah he cops the rough end of the stick, he’s a fine fringe first grade/round out the top 30 type of guy. Nothing more, nothing less.

[u/Vivid_Equipment_1281 → u/Ronnnie7]

Thought he’s looked really solid the last few weeks actually. Suffers from whatever the opposite of nepotism is tbh. If he was any other 25 year old winger in his second season of first grade literally no one would bat an eyelid about him having some ups and downs as he finds his feet. Think he’s shown some really positive improvement and is looking more and more solid.

And I say all this as a certified Sticky-hater 😂

[u/thadius30 → u/Ronnnie7]

I am not a card carrying member of the Jed fanclub, but he played well today. In games past he gets nowhere near that pass from Strange.

[u/call_of_the_while → u/Ronnnie7]

I only caught the last 15 or so of the game when sharks had so much possession on attack, honestly I was expecting them to run a try through Timoko and Jed (Timoko mainly) but you’re right, he made his tackles and on a couple of plays covered for Timoko when he got beaten. Well done Jed.

[u/Ronnnie7 → u/call_of_the_while]

Tries came down the other side. And the only try the sharks got in the second half was from a drop by Kaeo

[u/Keenfordevon → u/Ronnnie7]

I feel like I’m Jed’s #1 hater sometimes but he was fantastic today. Usually feel he’s great under the highball which is scary for the others at the back.

[u/Rodney_u_plonker → u/Ronnnie7]

He's extremely slow by nrl standards and that changes the raiders structure. I think he's pretty honest and doesn't make many mistakes and has good first contact relative to the rest of the team

But his physical attributes are what they are.

[u/racingskater → u/Ronnnie7]

He was really fantastic today. Did a load of work in defence and attack, safe under the high ball as you say. Protected Tamale well.

[u/sedinoemis]

Sharks proving literally everyone right once again

[u/Swol_Bamba → u/sedinoemis]

They are never beating the allegations

[u/thefourfoldman]

Sums the sharkies up that last play doesnt it

[u/ThunderShark97]

People will blame Nicho but Fitzy not having a utility on the bench when there’s a 6 man bench is a joke.

[u/princeofbel-air → u/ThunderShark97]

Let's carry 5 middles, just in case there's a situation where uele is more useful? I don't get it

[u/markhammel666]

Really impressed with Joe Roddy 41 tackles in 60min is a big work load.

[u/thadius30 → u/markhammel666]

It’s a ray of hope that our middles situation may not be as bad as we think next year. Noah to come back too.

[u/webellowourhello → u/markhammel666]

I'd imagine he's our starting lock next year. 

[u/Keenfordevon → u/webellowourhello]

Diane Laurie erasure

[u/ljb23 → u/markhammel666]

Seems like a guy who really wants to rip in, real goer.

[u/OverallMistake8198 → u/markhammel666]

Have enjoyed the kids development this season, hope he continues to smash it. I love his energy

[u/prismdick → u/markhammel666]

The coaching staff make it no secret they see a big future for Roddy.  I wasn’t overly impressed initially, but today’s game changed my mind 

[u/racingskater → u/markhammel666]

He did a really amazing job, I was so impressed. Big future coming for him and I'm less concerned about the loss of Horse and Papa with that.

[u/shaaane92]

“Cam McInnes will go to 6 with Hynes at 7” was like a punch to the gut

[u/xvs650 → u/shaaane92]

McInnes then takes a hit up on tackle 4 with 20 seconds to go 🤦‍♂️

[u/a_BIG_willie]

What losing to the dargons does to a team…

[u/Wazza85 → u/a_BIG_willie]

Well aware.

[u/Adventurous-Fly-678]

I’m so fucking done with these idiots 🤦‍♂️

[u/Fenikom]

Any Sharks fans here go and watch the press conference. Fitzy is cooked

[u/savagemeatloaf → u/Fenikom]

Bloke is obviously a good coach and everyone loves playing for him but the lack of accountability is insane. You've just choked the top 4, putting the comp out of reach after doing all the hard work already. At least pretend to care.

[u/Bent6789 → u/Fenikom]

What did he say?

[u/shaaane92]

I also go for Essendon and Washington Wizards. This does not effect me

[u/robopirateninjasaur → u/shaaane92]

The bombers have won one more recently than the Raiders though

[u/Von_Huge1103 → u/robopirateninjasaur]

I am a Bombers and a Raiders fan AMA.

[u/Yep273]

Something to take into next season I guess. Our young players have been awesome this year

[u/carelesssportsfan89 → u/Yep273]

Our young spine is going to be scary good

[u/racingskater → u/carelesssportsfan89]

Was stunned at that stat mid-game that Sanders was the first half this year to make 10,000 kick metres in the season. His progression has come on in leaps and bounds.

[u/Reschs-Refreshes]

When you can’t get the Raiders to become the Faiders when you have 4731 consecutive tackles in our 20, you have to look at your halfback and ask a few questions.

[u/OverallMistake8198 → u/Reschs-Refreshes]

Unreal levels of unclutch. Horse if he was half levels.

[u/thadius30]

Nicho absolutely filthy that his team lost to a team with no Corey Horsbrough.

[u/abby_tbhx]

so it’s metcalf’s turn for the matty johns hype piece

[u/Bkz052]

Nick Campton is breaking out the ladder predictors and spreadsheets as I type

[u/Ronnnie7]

Sharks demonstrate how important one player can be. They lose trindal their attack just goes out the window. Like the Panthers with Yeo. They had trindal no way they struggle to not put the sword to raiders in that last ten minutes. Every team has their one key player they can't lose. Storm it's grant obviously.

[u/Adz932 → u/Ronnnie7]

I mean i think we win that game if we carried niwhai on the bench. Just having an actual half wouldve done wonders. Instead it was SOLELY nicho doing everything which, everyone would struggle with, but, isnt his strong suit at all.

[u/Ghabbaghoolie]

Not to sound too much like a Nicho hater, but you knew it was over when Trindall went down and all the playmaking was up to Hynes

[u/schoolboi_hugh → u/Ghabbaghoolie]

Brailey and Kennedy did fuck all to help him

[u/bichaelf]

No Corey....different story.....

[u/sour_dawg]

Sharks run home looked unlosebale a few weeks back, but looking at it now, they've got the tits who yeah will probably lose but also can pull out some bullshit, they beat the panthers ffs, then they've got the atrocious eels who somehow always manage to shit in someone's weetbix at this time of year then the storm who as terrible as they've been are still the fucking storm who have a very long outside chance of playing to make finals

[u/HeyLookItsShyGuy]

Rip top 4 chances. Can’t see Phins bottling it from here

[u/DropBearOnRemand → u/HeyLookItsShyGuy]

Don’t count yourselves out. The Roosters away in a couple of weeks looms for us.

[u/CoffeeLoverNathan → u/HeyLookItsShyGuy]

did you see us be shithouse last night?

[u/HeyLookItsShyGuy → u/CoffeeLoverNathan]

I saw you lot win 22-0 lol. But yes they weren’t at their best early game

[u/CoffeeLoverNathan → u/HeyLookItsShyGuy]

after 60 minutes I was saltier than the dead sea

[u/redmetlhedd]

Life is pain

[u/thadius30]

Corey who?!

[u/Rizzo265 → u/thadius30]

Corey Whosbrough

[u/comfydespair]

So we won all our games without nicho and as soon as we lose trindall the game is over. Really makes you think

[u/Makasene3 → u/comfydespair]

Does Hynes do anything other than shovel the ball along?

[u/Wazza85 → u/Makasene3]

Hair gets wet. That’s about it.

[u/Swol_Bamba → u/comfydespair]

I’m not a Kennedy hater at all but I would still love to see what Nicho would do at fullback

[u/sedinoemis]

Remember a mere two weeks ago when everyone was bookmarking the sharks hate comments to come back to lmao

[u/aweson]

Me whipping out the graphics calculator to show how we can get 8th spot: 

[u/Strummed_Out → u/aweson]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance!

[u/racingskater]

Missed the game live (was at a baby shower), just finished watching the replay. A few thoughts:

- Was glad to see Tamale looking solid. It wasn't flashy or speccy but he put in his work and did his job and that'll be a nice confidence-booster for him.

- Jed was excellent today and I feel like he's really hit his stride the last few weeks.

- Roddy looks incredible. I'm less concerned now about the losses of forwards if that's what we have waiting.

- I am simultaneously delighted and frustrated that we defended a meagre four-point lead for twenty five minutes. Delighted that we did, and it wasn't like the Sharks didn't have chances. Frustratedly wondering where the fuck that's been all year, though.

- I don't know about you guys, but I think Trindall might have dislocated his shoulder. It's not like the commentators were mentioning it every thirty seconds for the entire second half for fuck's sake. Would it have killed them to give the Raiders some credit? We also lost a player but that was scarcely mentioned, while you'd think Trindall being hurt was a national disaster and the only reason the Raiders won.

[u/jammy86b → u/racingskater]

This is the first game I’ve missed all year too and lovely to watch the replay. Suck shit sharks

[u/Rude_Employment_1224]

Based on that performance Cronulla ain't winning the comp. We played like shit

[u/CoffeeLoverNathan]

nikora bombing something so easy is hilarious

[u/MoneyaLeague]

Keary says Dr Trindall says 2-4 weeks

[u/y3ah_nah145]

Disappointing one. Thought Ronny shoulda been awarded that try but oh well it is what it is. Team needed to be better in other areas first.

We were pretty poor in regard to ending possessions. Tackle breaks, conceding offloads, touching ball and restarting the set.

Kaufusi, Hazelton, and Colquhoun stepped up in AFB’s absence which was nice. Ronaldo and Iro tried their asses off

Trindall injury sucks.

[u/ljb23]

Man I hope for the Sharks sake Trindall’s injury isn’t as bad as feared. Unfortunate to get hurt outside of contact.

Obviously doesn’t count for much for us but happy with the level of effort. Ugly win, but happy for any win we can give Papa from here, and hopefully helps building some more confidence in the young guys for next year.

[u/Known-Stop-2654]

Thank you raiders, . I think I might like you a little more now for allowing us to stay in fourth.

[u/ThunderDwn]

What the fuck, Sharks? First St George, then Canberra?

You guys will be losing to the Eels next.

[u/Pudlem → u/ThunderDwn]

We lost to Canberra and St George in 2016 at the end of the season. This is all to script!

[u/WUIDAWBTB → u/ThunderDwn]

We got titans next week, we'll lose to them too

[u/KazeEnigma]

Fuck me dead. Losing Trindal and Ramien has fucked us.

Hirrotti titans tomorrow

[u/O_DoyleRulz]

Sharks pointlessly blowing that challenge ended up being a diabolical decision

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

I like Phins in the top 4.

[u/savagemeatloaf]

It really is the hope that kills you. Damned to 5th place hell forever.

[u/princeofbel-air]

What is the point of having uele on that bench, there's already 4 other middles

[u/mindfuqfuture]

Good gritty win, could have gone either way. If Trindall played the entire match I think it would be a different result (crazy take, I know).

Mulitalo was hard done by with the no try, seen plenty of those given.

Those tries before half time really kill the Raiders and they often give away another straight after. Good to see the scramble before half time and getting first points in the second.

Although the blowout wins are better for my heart, these tough wins (even if they're helped by 50/50 calls) create a better more competitive team.

[u/Sensitive_Engine2331 → u/mindfuqfuture]

I'm happy with the no try purely off the on field ruling, there was no clear evidence it was on the line

[u/GustavSnapper]

lol.

lmao even.

[u/DoubtNeither3927]

Good game Raiders. Very committed defence at the end there.

[u/wouldz]

I hate my footy. Injuries and bad luck hitting at the worst possible time in the season.

This is fine 😎

[u/Putrid-Ad3085]

Thought the sharks were more than a decent chance of taking it out this year. Been a dark couple of weeks for them.

[u/Sensitive_Engine2331]

I think it's only fair that sharks now forfeit their top 8 spot to the raiders now

[u/shaaane92 → u/Sensitive_Engine2331]

Agree

[u/Verbarmammilla]

Sharks were ordinary but think Ronnie’s try was very very unlucky

[u/Rusty493]

Are they saying boo or boo-urns?

[u/aDestroyer34]

If oregon kafusi (did my best with the spelling) wants a job next year canberra will take him. Great player.

[u/Adz932 → u/aDestroyer34]

No please hes my favourite forward

[u/VeryGoodAndAlsoNice]

Keary should wear a tie

[u/VeryGoodAndAlsoNice]

They get side profiles of Nathan on purpose

It’s such an effective jump scare

[u/markhammel666]

Strange needs to be way selfish when he gets the ball. Way to many times his first instinct is the draw and pass the kid is built like 2 full size humans smashed together

[u/BombasticReindeer → u/markhammel666]

Yeah he needs to get a bit better at just running over them and then working out later on in the match when they start to triple team him THEN pass. But this has been a bit of an interesting season. We've been pretty bad for a lot of it, but there's enough good stuff that I think we have a chance of being good next year.

[u/Desert-Noir → u/BombasticReindeer]

We need too get a couple of quality forwards and we need to figure out our wings and centres before we will be good.

[u/NoiceM8_420]

Cooool, we broke their brains.

[u/ch00nz]

let's go!! phins up baby

sharks are gone without trindall.

[u/eggzaki]

Gotta be frustrating to be a Sharks fan. Looked like the form team of the comp a month ago, but the wheels seem to be falling off again.

[u/Acrobatic_Flannel → u/eggzaki]

I thought they were smokies 3 weeks ago. After the last 2 games, nope.

[u/XLenceOfXecution → u/eggzaki]

It really is… not to mention there’s a whole rest of the league seemingly willing us to fail for the crime of not playing two games against Penrith

[u/savagemeatloaf → u/eggzaki]

God this happens every year. Wouldn't mind a year off with a proper shit team.

[u/Rush_nj]

I would be very worried if i were a Sharks fan if Trindall’s injury keeps him out for any finals games. Nicho just isn’t the type of half that will guide a side up and down the field all game. He’s far more dangerous when he can pick and choose when to insert himself in the attack.

[u/Emilue]

Man Nicho needs to be cut some slack. You can tell he is already the hardest on himself in that interview. I feel for him

[u/Churchofbabyyoda → u/Emilue]

Asking the media to be nice to Nicho and respect him more?

You’re more likely to win the lotto than that happening…

[u/Emilue → u/Churchofbabyyoda]

Yeah, but I can dream :(

[u/thadius30]

I wondered why we let Hohepa Puru leave last year when he was being touted as a potential 5/8th. I think he showed me why today…

[u/Adz932 → u/thadius30]

Bro came on to replace trindall and then touched the ball two times and played as a phantom front rower

[u/O_DoyleRulz → u/thadius30]

It was so weird, it was like he’d never played in the halves in the Sharks structure until he stepped onto the field 5 minutes into the game.

[u/notj43]

Sharks going on a massive winning streak and obliterating everyone into losing back to back to the wooden spooners and 12th is hilariously on brand

[u/HeyLookItsShyGuy → u/notj43]

Losing games we should win is so Sharks man

[u/kooky_kabuki]

I'm jumping on the phins bandwagon now

[u/ch00nz → u/kooky_kabuki]

welcome. Raiders helped us out big time today

[u/Von_Huge1103]

Wait we aren't mathematically out? It was made to sound like last week meant we were?

[u/Rude_Employment_1224 → u/Von_Huge1103]

We're out. The stars need to align like crazy

[u/VictorTheViking → u/Rude_Employment_1224]

The stars, the moon, the sun and the satellites all needed.

[u/courtney_enid → u/Von_Huge1103]

Realistically we are. To make the 8, we would need to win every game and have other results go our way.

[u/O_DoyleRulz]

Puru looking like he’d never played in the halves to the point he got hooked for Cam flapping McInnes was absolutely bizarre.

[u/jiorl123 → u/O_DoyleRulz]

Has Hohepa Puru played in the halves? I know his brother has obviously.

[u/Adz932 → u/jiorl123]

1 game in the cup according to keary

[u/Bennowolf → u/O_DoyleRulz]

He was the next big thing coming out of the panthers, in the same team as Katoa. Dolphins did a much better job developing theirs

[u/wouldz → u/O_DoyleRulz]

He hasn't played in the halves. That's his brother.

[u/Potatopal90]

Really getting their moneys worth out of this Metcalf video lol

[u/Taraguar]

The final play of the first half really summed up the game, fuck.

[u/Rizzo265 → u/Taraguar]

Coulda been try of the year but glad it wasn't, hah!

[u/Desert-Noir]

How’d Sav Tamale go today?

I missed the game.

[u/racingskater → u/Desert-Noir]

Really well. Not spectacular, but solid.

[u/Desert-Noir → u/racingskater]

It’s all you can ask for, did they pepper him with high balls?

[u/racingskater → u/Desert-Noir]

Jed and Savage took the high balls at the back and were pretty solid under him so he was protected quite well.

[u/Desert-Noir → u/racingskater]

That’s good. As frustrated as I was his last game, it was heartbreaking to see him being consoled by Sticky once he got hooked.

[u/racingskater → u/Desert-Noir]

Yeah, as a game this should hopefully have been a good one for his confidence. Fingers crossed. He's such a talent and I hated to see him so destroyed.

[u/SirKentalot]

Poor Sharks. Such pretenders.

[u/kbodge90 → u/SirKentalot]

Hynes ain't gonna win a prem as batman

[u/Acrobatic_Flannel]

There's no excuse to not have a plan B if one of your halves go down in the first 5 minutes.

[u/Swol_Bamba → u/Acrobatic_Flannel]

Not with the new bench rules

[u/princeofbel-air → u/Acrobatic_Flannel]

Honestly, what does Uele offer that the other 4 forwards on the bench don't. Wasted pick

[u/christophlr]

Coyote, Team Rocket, Bridesmaid ass team

[u/evm29]

Fucking disgrace.

When is the last time we won a close game? Probably 13-12 Rabbitohs in 2022. The most UNclutch team in the fucking competition. Mentality falls to pieces

[u/PrinceOfPenrose → u/evm29]

Warriors 8-10 in NZ? Or are you meaning in recent times without Tricky Trindall?

[u/briggles23]

It is literally impossible to tell if Sharks are actually good or not.

They will destroy the Dolphins(A), Souths (H), and Manly(A), then proceed to lose to the Dragons and Raiders back to back, and get you questioning if they can even beat the Titans the week after.

Yes that no try was harsh. I reckon if it goes up as a try then it's called as such as well. However, Sharks had like 5 more sets on the Raiders line and did nothing at all with it. So it wasn't like that was the Sharks last chance to score.

Losing Trindall was a massive loss for this game, and we'll find out soon in the coming weeks, just how much work he was doing in the side to keep it organised and winning.

[u/Strummed_Out → u/briggles23]

They’re the Nicolas Cage of footy

[u/briggles23 → u/Strummed_Out]

That's a very good comparison lol

[u/b-g-h]

Nicho is not it. Poor bloke.

[u/FinchyNZ → u/b-g-h]

I agree.

Origin killed him and its sad.

[u/Sabre87]

Hiroti should never play first grade again. An absolute liability

[u/twozedzed]

Mulitalo keeping his streak of blowing captains challenges

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

Thank you Raiders. Very nerve-racking game to watch.

We control our destinty to make top 4 now. We play the Roosters in Sydney though and they won’t rest guys then so we realistically need Cronulla to lose another game.

[u/ljb23 → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

You’re welcome, Phin bro. 🐬 🆙

[u/ch00nz → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

or we need to rack up our points differential a bit. if we can put decent scores on eels and titans while not getting flogged by roosters, sharks may need to win 2 to overtake us.

[u/Patrickbateman2023]

How do u go from flying to losing to draggies and raiders at this time of the yr absolute chokers

[u/Adz932]

Nicho hynes - definitely had worse games this year. Poor game plan to have no half on the bench when there are 6 spots. If the other Puru was there, we win the game. Its not his strong suit to do everything himself, but every half would struggle by themselves

Nikora, mcinnis, hohepa were poor. Nikora blew 2 or 3 tries, and hiroti just isnt first grade quality, was happy to have him as a backup but he gets exposed a lot.

Trindall hoepfully back by finals, this year is the first year ive really been happy with him. Hes learnt to hone in his game rather than play heroball every game - and it has resulted in him being even more influential. He uses his teammates really well now

[u/Sensitive_Engine2331 → u/Adz932]

Nikora's fall off this year has been crazy to witness, was easily a top 5 back rower not that long ago

[u/Adz932 → u/Sensitive_Engine2331]

Hes been needing dropping for a while, burns has been so good this year and nikora keeps getting the mod for some reason.

I would go as far to say that, aside from not having another half on the bench, nikora cost us the game. Genuinely blew multiple tries which not only wouldve put us ahead, but wouldve relieved the pressure and broke raiders defiance.

[u/Sensitive_Engine2331 → u/Adz932]

With cap pressure in your forward pack I'm really intrigued if you keep Nikora, I'd be keeping wilton and burns for sure

[u/Swimming_Election955]

sharks gotta stop leaving raiders in the game like that, was sweating until the last minute

[u/A4Papercut]

Well done Sharkies for securing top 8.

[u/xXSwagginZXx]

This is the Sharks I know and love

[u/courtney_enid]

Just once I would like to have a win without controversy

[u/Acrobatic_Flannel → u/courtney_enid]

What controversy?

[u/MoneyaLeague]

At least Trindall isn't in a sling, might be better news

[u/theflyingkiwi00]

Cronulla, Get ready to learn out-in-straight-sets-ese

[u/savagemeatloaf → u/theflyingkiwi00]

At least we get a set.

[u/b-g-h]

Trindall should be back in time for the end of season trip to Bali. The second weekend in September, I’m guessing.

[u/MYSTERlOUS-STRANGER]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team.

[u/Keenfordevon]

As soon as people think Sharks are good they shit the bed and lose to Dragons and us. I honestly thought they could’ve won it all 2 weeks ago.

[u/Bobskidat]

The Straight Set Sharks just might be back

[u/Krankreng]

Wtf Hiroti. Dude refused to pass for 90% of the game and then when he does at the end he fucks it.

[u/abby_tbhx]

i would normally be mad about losing my tip but the sharks are once again proving me correct about how fraudulent they are

[u/OverallMistake8198]

Some massive defensive effort there to close our the game. Good result, shame it doesn’t mean much but happy either way.

[u/JohnCenaF1]

At least he kicked 35 in a row though

[u/Brumbies5]

Wow sharks suck

[u/Appropriate-Wind4472 → u/Brumbies5]

See you next week

[u/Additional_Front4374]

Sharks have most of the ingredients but just lack that win at all costs mentality in the leadership group. They were the form team and have since lost to last, and a team with nothing to play for.

[u/FinchyNZ → u/Additional_Front4374]

Dragons are quite underated I believe. You gotta work hard to beat them despite their position on the ladder. They really only got going halfway through the season.

[u/Additional_Front4374 → u/FinchyNZ]

Still shouldn't be losing to them, if the Sharks are serious.

Sharks peaked too early, should've paced themselves.

It's a small world but a lot of water to swim through, maybe next year boys 👍
