Robbed, was a try all day.
I reckon we’re only playing Shiba just because Bird’s injured & the one who doesn’t want to dug in was let go.
With Bird fit and healthy next season at Center, we’ve one of the best arsenal at our disposal at our right side. With more game awareness, bit of experience & extra kilos over the off season, Coates will only get better mate. Fear not!

The thing that slows Macca down at dummy half the most is that stupid wide stance he gets into before passing. The ball rolls towards him then he does the splits, picks up ball then passes it. I’m not sure if other dummy halfs do this technique.

Most of what I was going to say has been mentioned by others, but my thoughts:
Lodge and Haas were immense. Haas is just pure power and Lodge is aggression. Can’t split them, both as valuable as each other and are a premiership-quality front row pairing right now.
TPJ should look at that and have Will Smith in his head - “From now on, that’s how you drive”. Hard running and hard hitting, and the opportunities stem from it. The try and the assist are rewards that will come his way often through effort. Not by trying to force it.
Staggs is just a great footballer. All effort and grit.
Coates had a shaky debut but has a higher ceiling. I can see Farnworth retaining a spot because he seems more ready now, with Coates being sent back to Q-Cup to perfect his trade. Interestingly Coates looked way better when Staggs was inside him. Shiba just doesn’t seem to have the physicality for NRL.
Criticism of McCullough is unwarranted and misplaced. The fucker even made a line break and got the ball away to a supporting Boyd. Who’d have thought that sentence would ever exist.
Lastly, the fire is there. It just seems like we need a reason. Like the grubby Dogs a few years back, the knee from Flanagan made our pack take it personally. Woods was niggling all night and they finally retaliated after the knee, snotting him a few times to the point where he didn’t want to run so would pass, so we just snotted him as he passed instead. He’s one of their leaders and for mine, taking him off his game went a long way to putting the Sharks on tilt as a team.
So proud.

That Morris try was a dead set double movement. The refereeing this year is just so random.

Are you a goat in wolfs clothing. If we didn't have a kicker no one would give a ****.

I thought he did well. Nothing great but defended well. Can't recall more then two runs but he looked a lot like a certain forward we just let go to souths.
In saying that I would mark him as a pass on debut. Didn't make an error and defended well inside Glenn.
Mentioning Glenn he was great tonight on return. He is big for us at the moment. Good leadership is so valuable.

Broncos never should have had to come back from 10 points down.
Morris first try, how was that a try? Arm carrying the ball touches the ground before the try line and then he reaches out. It wasn't momentum that got the ball over the line. They have been calling those double movement's this year.

100%, Farnsworth’s leg speed into contact really helped him find his front and he had a few occasions where he poked his head through to really get our sets rolling.
