2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

[Seiffert82]

26 missed tackles to 8, most of them on the right. Hard to overcome that.

Sharks doing absolutely nothing special out there, just the basics well.

What the hell happened to Levi out there, how was he gassed after 20min? Isn’t his one strength the fact he’s super fit?

About to say this…. Levi must have the flu or something?

[The Nickman]

Only highlight this first half has been mike's input. The one bloke who decided to turn it up for Stick's 500th

I know it’s only halftime, but mike is getting all 7 of my points this week.

[Ultima]

At least with our new logo looking like it was drawn by a child we matched it with how we are playing... I feel we would lose to a high school team with this performance so far...

I think it’s time for Rick to park his ego and bring in some outside voices to the coaching process.

He could do a lot worse than giving mike a call

Give him hell Mike!

It's the senior players that have let us down. Timoko has played well. Their forwards and backs have dominated.

Levi shouldn't play FG for us again. Absolute filth. Don't know how Hudson Young is still in the origin conversation.

Young looks short on confidence. Life Cotric.

Seriously, watching this team play these past few years makes me long for Bombaghan and Matt Elliott’s “let’s win 12 points to 10” mentality. At least those blokes had some ticker

Must have the flu or something, very unusual

He’s on the exercise bike in the sheds working on his fitness. You can’t question his professionalism

[Botman]

Levi was not given a long leash there before the hook came out
Gives me hope that Stuart is starting to see the light on this.

[dubby]

Levi

Your boy’s boy right there

Good news is he won't play nrl next week

I haven’t heard that he’s injured and he’s not on report?

But he does suck

I can’t get over the fact there were Raiders pundits parading around gloating and acting as if they were vindicated about their “Levi Island” bs on the basis of about 3 games where he wasn’t complete trash.

[Hong Kong Raider]

So we are going to give Stuart another 5 years ? 5 years of this **** to get through ?

[Seiffert82]

The opposition know what is coming from us, every single week.

Just slow lateral passing, no shape, no bodies in motion. Nothing to respect so they just rush up and compress.

Years and years of it, and we don’t have an answer

In summary - lack of systems and coaching in attack

No, apparently it’s just cattle mate!

Structured attack and backline moves are over rated

I’ve been told on good authority that there’s no such thing as either. It’s just individual players doing good things at good clubs.

Cronulla are just doing the basics. That's it.

Our inexperience is out in full force today. It's just one of those games with a ton of rookies and 2 or 3 players not really up to NRL standard being exposed.

Tapine looked gone as well. Wonder if a virus has gone through the team, or something.

Does Ricky agree?

[dubby]

Weekes, Sasagi and Schiller on the right hand side is a disaster in defence. And attack for that matter.

It's awful.

Not that we can help it. Injury etc

Still frustrating.

Billy, even you must see. That was a horrible stint by Levi.

When the commentator is calling out a player multiple times for being gassed, you know you’re in the ****

I just remembered when McCrone had a shocker vs sharks and was never seen again.

In all seriousness though, who was padding around gloating about Levi that wasn’t either a blatant troll or someone related in some form to the coach?

The way I look at it is **** happens right. Joe Tapine made a shocking error in defence but we can appreciate that it's not common

Levy has been struggling defensively all year. He's defending in a tough position where he gives up size but he's been struggling. So I agree. For stick to be like nah this isn't it hopefully says something

Cause Stewart got murdered last week and stick rightly left him out there. He yanked Levy pretty much as quickly as he could after the drop

Seriously, any one that watched the first half before he came off could see he didn't belong there. Totally dominated in defence and missing tackles. Couldn't even get back into the line.

**** in attack as well. Only seen two footballers drop it like that close to the line with no one in front of them - Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Levi

Shift Strange and Weekes. What’s the worst that could happen. We play worse. Not possible.

[Bennyboy2283]

I would of backed my 92 year old nanna to catch that ball and taken it under the posts

[-PJ-]

Load the cannon with DL and point it to the sun..

[Um Jammer Lammy]

Being realistic we were always going to struggle, our spine have played 20 games and Levi is a reserve grader. Simi Sasagi’s defensive efforts were awful and Hudson Young isn’t delivering us much this year.

We have bombed a couple of tries. Should be 2 tries to 3 so it's not as bad as the scoreboard shows.

We have a chance to show something in the second 40. We have to take our chances.

Pundits plural, or just Billy?

[Green Taipan]

Another master class in coaching by Ricky. Fair dinkum, he's been here for 10 yrs and will probably get another 10.

[Seiffert82]

Simi cannot tackle either

No, he's quite a big issue out there.

We desperately need a quality dummy half, a RHS second rower and another NRL standard winger or we will continually be exposed.

Woolford and Cotric would be a good start.

To be fair your nanna is pretty talented

[mikeraider]

Did these guys train at all together, and it's not raining but the ball seems like a cake of soap. Looking for a huge effort in 2nd half, all it's going to get real bad. The big raiders crowd deserves a come back.

It wasn’t his finest stint Reg - not sure if you saw the emoji after my post about Savage’s pass. I had a good chuckle at those that didn’t

I think that’s what’s frustrating today. Doesn’t seem to be youth related at all. It’s the forwards getting rolled, awful interchange/tactics/hooker selection from the coach…

Well said mike

She may have been mowed down short but yes she would have kept hold of the ball.

[dubby]

Let's be honest.

Sharks have won the ruck. It's stunned us.

But simple moments like Levi dropping the ball and a bunch of NSW Cup players like Sasagi and Weekes showing why they're depth players....plus a backline of young lads..
