I also think Hudson young hasn’t been as impressive since the long lay off. I know it may be a case of lack of game time but we are now at the business end of the season

That is the second time we have beaten the Sharks this season after conceding more tries in the match.

It’s going to be very interesting what Ricky does. Cotric finally found his mojo. Do you stuff him around yet again just to suit BJ who is short of a gallop and did his ill discipline rep no favours last week?

Sutton won’t get dropped. Young will miss out. But Sutton hasn’t impressed me the back end of the year.

I’ve been banging on for weeks that Lui shouldn’t be allowed to strip. Even if he did do it clean the refs would ping him because he’s a nobody and they want to show they have stripping under control and balanced.

Geez, if there’s one thing Ricky Stuart needs to be drilling into his boys this week, it’s stop kicking the **** ball dead!

That was the big difference between the teams tonight, how often we kicked it dead, almost lost us the game

That was a very fragile win. Play like that against Mel, Chooks, Bunnies and we are toast. Ricky has to have word with Hodgson to tone it down; he is not as good as he thinks he is. Also, Jack's erratic kicking needs to be fixed fast. On today's performance I can't see us stringing together enough wins to get us to the GF. Hope I'm wrong and Lady Luck smiles on us!
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

So tapatalk just scammed me out of 23 bucks to be ad-free for life

Seems like a bargain really, wonder what the catch is?

I'm not too worried. It was a very intense month of football and hard to stay up with 'on' performances every week. We still found a way to win.

Crazy; I wouldn't let BJ anywhere near the team this year. He is no where match-fit enough for final's footie and his hot-headed temperament is a massive danger.

Let’s not forget, that’s Paul Gallen’s last game at that ground
Every single guy to a man gave every ounce of themselves to that performance to send off a guy they absolutely love

We got the best shot they can possibly give and it wasn’t good enough to beat 40 minutes of solid to good footy from us

This was a good, tough and hard win.

With you Azza. The team was flat as a tack after a big month and the Sharks were playing near their peak. It's a sign of a good team when you find a way to get the points when things aren't going well for you.

We took their opening punches we’ll.
Agree Hodgson (on more than one occasion this year) seems to overplay in big matches.
Proud of this team.
If 3rd spot is locked in by kickoff, I hope Rick gives Papalii, Hodgson, CNK and Bateman a rest. No need to risk them.
I give us a chance against the Roosters...we owe them one.

It could have been a disaster, this run, but we've come out of it well - only disappointment is our performances at home, but hopefully we have learned a lot from those games.

One thing to bear in mind is we really haven't played to our maximum potential in the last 4 weeks. Against the Roosters we made mistakes (CNK dropping bombs etc), Melbourne two sin binnings, Manly dumb play and penalties while Cronulla we kicked out and gave 7 tackle sets, last tackle option poor yet we were still in the game. I don't think our attack has fired and we can do better. Rapana and Cotric were back to some form today.

Let's not forget the Sharks are not even a top 8 side and a huge amount of luck got us the win. They scored 3 tries and if Johnson had played we probably would have been chasing 18 pts. Also, Dugan didn't play the 2nd half and Graham was off in ET.

Yep, and we got the points. We've lost those games in the past. Also a lot to improve on. If that was the best we can offer I'd be concerned. It's not so I'm not.

Week one final is away from home as well. Having a stronger away from home game could be massively in our favour. If we win round one of the finals, do we even get a home final? Pretty sure "regional" stadiums aren't an option for the preliminaries :(

Well one of them is tough to beat because it’s us, and I think you’ll find we’ve beaten 2 others.
