Agreed with all said.

This is actually really terrible Rugby League to watch.

Yep. It was Gallen. Filthy prick.

Gallen, Graham, Fifita, Lewis, Prior - they've all been throwing cheap shots at unprotected players through the whole first half!

Directionless atm. Very much on Croft not taking the line on and going sideways everytime hes' got the ball. Can take rookie mistakes but he wasn't doing that last season.

Smith and Slater seem to be forcing plays with Cronk not there anymore too. The entire attack needs the spine to play better.

I mean the players could be more disciplined.

I saw it and you'll be surprised, not, Fifita the scum bag.
I don't reckon our halves are the problem i reckon the go forward is the issue, along with composure.
Billy floating right every time, surely it's time for some straight runs or turn some back inside.
What's the penalty count, the Sharks are getting caned, all that means is we'll be up against it in the second half as they even them up. (Oh, but it's not done deliberately/consciously ;) )

Fifita. Grubbing it up again.

Maybe you see what you want to see but i thought it was Fifi. I'd like a replay of the ten minute mark.

Totally lacking in execution. I'm sure there's a game plan but I don't know what it is - and the players don't seem to either.

Vinivalu has been awful all season and needs to play some time in the QCup. It wouldn't hurt to give Jesse a wake up call and start him from the bench for a while. Slater trying too hard, but with the lack of options around him I guess he doesn't have much choice.

Sharks as grubby as ever

The nature of the game means it’s very hard for players to be precise and abide by rules. Fatty said you could pick a penalty in every tackle if you really wanted to, there’s got to be some reasonable discretion but the refs are taking a literal approach. even penalties the sharks have given away have been a bit over the top - thankfully we’ve needed the relief

Sharks are deliberately giving away penalties.
Storm are not deliberately dropping the ball.
Painful to watch.
