Starting to feel like Suli could trade his brain for some magic beans and the guy he traded with would feel cheated. Watch the ball! Not hard.

Sorry, frustrated.

Yeah, Hughes showed zero urgency to track the ball on that last try & was caught way out of position.

It would be nice if the refs knew the rules though - you're allowed to touch the sideline while getting to your feet to play the ball, so we shouldn't have lost possession there, and we shouldn't have been penalised for taking too long in the tackle when Dugan gave himself up after running behind one of his team mates, so it should've been a surrender tackle.

That being said, we are definitely being outenthused by our (depleted) opposition yet again...

Refs adamant to get Sharks back in front. Not a lot of high contact from Tui on Dugan maybe a bit from second arm but wouldn't have been penalised if he doesn't drop the ball. Then the softest escort penalty against Seve.

Yep, the refs and our lack of interest will get us our second loss here.

...and once again, where the f**k was Hughes on that try?

Kaufusi gave no help either. Pathetic all round.

Great play by Kenny to set up Ryan Papenhuyzen for his first NRL try. Well done Ryan. Come on Storm.

Wow. Completely brain dead play by Munster at the end. Pathetic all around.

Well winning ugly for a few weeks has been wallpapering over the cracks. So hopefully Craig makes some changes. Falcons and Tigers have lost a total of one game, so there must be options there.

On the bright side we have been playing poorly and have had two losses - a one point loss and a two point loss.

Is Hughes carrying an injury? Doesn’t look like he’s running too freely.
I was quite impressed with the Chambers/JAC combination, created a few opportunities.
I’m gonna get shot down for saying this but I would put Suli at centre and put an extra 5 kg on him.

Seriously poor performance. Again.

Time for Suli to play QCup for a couple of weeks - some of his decision making was dreadful. Again.

Having said that, the refereeing was appalling.
Addo-Carr is is incorrectly called for putting his foot into touch when playing the ball. Multiple incorrect knock on calls - Chambers didn't touch it, Nelson didn't drop it. Fatfita flopped in late every tackle he was involved in. Bakuya put the ball dead but line drop out. Dugan lies down and gets a penalty and it went on and on and on.

As said previously, I think Suli needs some time in the reggies.
Chambers was good - best game for quite some time.

Bula Hughes injured his knee when he scored the try early in the second half last week. They strapped his knee after that.

I don’t even know where to start... Bitterly disappointing but expected?

Sharks had their best five players out injured and still beat us.

Season over.
