They expect a lot from him and give him opportunities but are not as methodical and present the opportunities and game plan that Webby provided. He tried too hard a couple of times.

that forward pass he threw screams of someone who is unhappy with his role.

Wow

Missed GP

Tigers !

Well done

I was sure you were gonna choke

Happily wrong again?!!

 

[Beastmode]

Wonder if AFB regrets his move. At the wahs, he wasn't just a middle, he was central to many of our attacking plays. Sharks don't seem to value him in that same capacity.

I regretted losing him

I don’t anymore….

We got a new sheriff in town JFH

you don't think about an AFB+JFH starting front row in an alternative universe where AFB stayed?

 

[Inruin]

Great game. Glad the Tigers won, must be lots of peoples second team.

My original team.

You reckon we could have landed JFH had AFB stayed ?

of course not, that's why I call it an alternative universe

Probably played out the other way around, AFB heard JFH was coming and thought feck this, I won't be the guy anymore....

didn't AFB ask for the release at the end of 2023? I don't think the JFH thing started happening until 2024.

yeah i was just talking smack, AFB wouldnt be able to cry about carrying the team on his back if he was still here tho

Yup, likely that JFH was half thinking about coming home and the AFB leaving cemented it further knowing their was cap space and a position free

Er, OK
Was KP at fullback ?
Nathan in the halves?….

Is that really a sin bin?

 

[sydneywarrior92]

So when do the Aussie media start questioning Craig Fitzgibbon's coaching. With that roster they should be top 4 easily.

Since replacing John Morris he hasn't done much better with what is a better roster of players.

webby would have won a premiership with that roster already.

Looks like nothing but need a front angle to see where the high contact was

Watching the shark's games is interesting. They have two 7s on the field and somehow Trindall is the main one. Such an odd game plan from the coach. There giving off a very knights vibe but the inverse, where there are now way to many cooks in kitchen instead of none. Luckily sharks just have a much better forward pack.

They just need to make Trindall 7 and the lead guy. That will solve so many of their problems

I know they need to watch out for each other's safety, but the refs are OTT with all these sin binnings.
They trying to break the game, which was flowing really well to start the season.

Yeah, they need to get the balance right but I agree with them trying to get the bad ones out of the game. It was the same with hip drops and you see very few of them now.

Yeah it is good but if it continues for a few rounds it's just gonna destroy the flow, the refs always seem to pick on something just before Origin.
So we can all sit back and enjoy a free flowing game.
