Smithies isn't as good as people on the GH claim he is. He looks slow to me

The sharks haven’t been good at all here either, just quietly.

If we had anything half resembling a well coached and structured attack instead of a bunch of blokes doing their best we’d be right in this.

Does Ricky agree?
Ricky kept picking Croker, Woolford, and Cotric last year who you bagged out every week, so not sure his views on team selections are as infallible as you think they are
So he will play next week?
Woolford? I hope so

Credit to the Sharks. They're beating a 50-50 nsw cup nrl side
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

We could have the game played solely in the Sharks 20 metres for 80 minutes and we'd lose this.

Utterly awful attack and even worse goal line defence.

We can blame our absentees all we want but we have utterly no structure anywhere.

Yeah it probably goes to say that any Anzac Round jersey should be military uniform inspired, they always look the best.

Starling absolutely stinks. No deception. No guile. No game awareness. Nothing.

52nd min Chevy Stewart regathers the bomb to the try line, tackled in the air. On report. Timoko, incredible tackle breaks in that set.

The set ends with Hudson Young almost caught on the last, then throws an offload to the Sharks.

Huddo has been caught with the ball way too many times.

Very clunky backline movement tonight. Not entirely unexpected.

I'm loathe to go too hard on a young spine player trying to find his feet in firsts, but for a guy who's not particularly quick, agile, or large, Chevy Stewart will need to start bringing skill to the fore quickly. Being brave doesn't make you an NRL fullback.
