Sharks v. Tahs - 2011R15

[Hawko]

Highlanders just lost to the Force. Great incentive because if we win tonight I think we make the finals.

Highlanders just lost to the Force.

I still can't believe they backed up in 24 hours after such a gallant effort against the Hurricanes.

Can anyone say "up your arse Jamie Joseph"?

Hope Kurtley carves up Lambie

Got me vidiot! Senior moment, they've been happening more frequently lately.

I know it's a bit wink wink nudge nudge but all my usual sources are coming up blank so if anyone knows a 'venue' at which to view the (rest of) the game I'd be obliged if you could message me...

Cross injured an uncalled off the ball incident. Sharks player (missed the number) took him out needlessly in the line.

Waratahs not looking good. Sharks all over them in attack.

 

[Richo]

Waratahs will be very happy to go to the sheds just 2 points down. Sharks were the better team, but the Waratahs held in there and may just have weathered the storm. Need to stop the sloppy errors and poor penalties if they want to win.

Agree wholeheartedly based on what I've seen. Good work to be within 2 after the barrage of quality possession the Shorks had for periods in the Tahs' half. Hope they show the Cross incident...

I told you. Kicking will lose us the game.

That try to Lambie was all Hangers fault. WTF, it was worse than a Quade attempt. Barnes would've chopped him down

 

[Richo]

The Cross incident was bad, but no ill intent. The Shorks player just threw out an arm to impede his progress and Cross came down very badly. Should have been a penalty but probably nothing more.

 

[qwerty51]

Heh it was nothing. Cross' fault for falling awkwardly.

 

[MrMouse]

Ah well Mr Cross has never been the most coordinated of fellows...but a pity as slowly he's been improving.

Agree with qwerty on Hangers v BB on that try but remember BB is one of the best defensive backs in Aus. He did help create our try too, so...

 

[Richo]

Tahs must show better discipline.

 

[MrMouse]

Hangers officially a genius, qwerty wash your mouth out!!!! Wow too easy.

 

[Richo]

Hangers having a blinder! Scored one and set the other up!

 

[MrMouse]

Ooh that could seriously kill a guy. Shorks 7 reverse body slamming chariots with a headlock then continuing on with it. Yellow.

 

[Richo]

Judiciary might be interested in that one.

Faaaaaark. JP Pietersen with a length of the field try after Beale flicks out an ill-advised ball. That's with a man down, btw.
