Cooper was great tonight, Payne actually improved a lot over a week ago, proved me wrong, hope he actually does that consistently.
Cows could've gone into third if they hadn't let in one or two of those tries. Probably would've been back to 4th after the Dragons win but still. Should be a very good match against Manly at home next week. 4th vs 5th.
Still can't believe I support the Sharks when they make me so frustrated almost every week. Gluten for punishment I suppose.
Nah. I'd rather have one of those two injured than Gallen, at club level. In a losing team, he was exceptional. 180m+ and 36 tackles, with no penalties and only 1 error.
I never saw the game by the way, was just getting live scores on my phone at work. Did something happen to Williams? Why was Wright kicking at the end?
I've never denied his awesomeness at club level. He's just a massive shit cunt in SOO. Even in test footy, he's nowhere near as good. He is best suited to a team like Cronulla where he can hog the ball when he wants to, get through massive amounts of work, and the errors and penalties aren't as costly. Up against world class rep sides, this sort of shit gets harshly punished - <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"> <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v9vlLkVEBh0?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v9vlLkVEBh0?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object> </object> I would bet good money that over the last 5 years QLD have scored more points after a Gallen error or penalty or brain explosion, than any other NSWmen.
Graham showed that he's not a halfback tonight. Was obviously a testing game given the injuries but Jeremy Smith & Kade Snowden kicking on last tackle?
Fuck off MF. Wright at the back was terrible. Two of his mistakes led to tries. We had no five-eigth ever since Kelly went off and subsequently had no attack.
I don't doubt it would've been a closer match. I still think the Cows would've won simply because they're a better side. Whatever forward superiority the Sharks have is completely negated by the Cows superior back line and halves. The Cows are better defensively too. Gardner and Kelly going off injured doesn't change the fact that the Cows completed well over 80% of their sets, and played with excellent structure and set up in attack. You had no attack because Kelly was off? What happened to Graham being a gun halfback?
That's piss poor from Fai Fai Loa. You'd expect that sort of shit from Graham. Should've caught that.
lol at how many people are falling for this play it on the mark bullshit. And lol at Julian calling for that to be a penalty to the Sharks. Smith was directly in the ruck and didn't get out of it. Clear cut should've been a penalty to the Cowboys, regardless of what Cooper did - The first infringement was a defender in the ruck.
Take out the fullback and the better half out of the Cowboys and they wouldn't beat the Sharks U20 side.
Are you seriously comparing Gardner and Kelly to Bowen and Thurston? LMAO. Neither of them contribute to the Sharks what Bowen and Thurston do to the Cowboys. Not even close.
I'd disagree. Kelly and Gardner produce 90% of the Sharks points. They aren't anywhere near as good of players, but they are just as important to their side as the coon brigade are.
