Game over. You know the Sharks were awful in the 1st half and we just didn't take advantage of that and punish them on the scoreboard . 6 points were never going to be enough.
You can definitely see the fall off in intensity when Lawrie and Kerr come on and LPT is off and we have to move Stewart into the middle.
Their backs were kept in check in the 1st half but with the errors and go forward in the 2nd half have run roughshod over our edges and backs .
I still say that the bench selected at least 3 shouldn't be playing 1sts. You can't rely on the Couchmans to serve up the numbers they did against the Broncos every week they need help, their bodies simply aren't up to those kinds of numbers week in week out.
I wasn't really impressed with our game plan that certainly lacked creativity in attack.
Again I say in my personal view the interim coach is not the answer.

I would keep no one in the backline maybe Atkinson ........

Atkinson misses another tackle. You know as a coach if you know you have a player or players with one on one being a defensive liability you construct your defensive structures to ensure or try to ensure that you limit that situation. That's what coaches do. Apparently not ours.

Our one on one defence is woeful, infact most of our defence is bad,
So much wrong with this team

Good. We should have let Parra have him for maybe a trade.
They won’t be in the team next year

The error the game turned on

Let me guess we will hear how good we were in the 1st half when the PC is on.

Probably ... but he will call out the errors early in the 2nd half and not reacting well enough to them and it is accurate.

I was actually starting to feel a bit proud in that first half, what a fool I was, totally and utterly disgusted.
RufusRex
SGI Jersey Flegg
i still am ...
Proud of the starting forwards all 5 of them (plus cookie) ...
but the outside backs (especially holmes/suli in defence and Tu with his errors) are just killing us.
Add a centre to the recruits for next year and we may have something to be happy about in 12 months time ... not so much this year.

Yep agree, but to have 28 - 0 put on us in the second half, the whole team and the coach needs to wear that.
RufusRex

Yes/no ...
You can see them targetting Lawrie in defence and players either side of him then of course play a bit deep and watch Holmes come in on a marked man creating a simple overlap for them multiple times ... its depressing.

Stopped watching once stonestreet scored to make it 24-12
Feel so sorry for the young forwards, all the hard work undone by shocking edge defence for the most part
The primary goal before next season is somehow find some competent Outside backs who don’t let the NRL side down every week
