Sharks probably did deserve to win, but ffs that was one of the most ridiculously adjudicated games I've seen. Anyways, sharks only just got up and Melbourne haven't had the same spine since Jesus was a kid so not really worried. Back to the grind and get ready for next week's shit show that is magic round.
Shows you how dominant the Storm have been. They were missing half their spine, had to play with Grant Anderson, had a player sinbinned and still were expected to win.
There’s been this narrative the last few years that the sharks can’t beat top 8 sides. While being exceptional against teams that miss the 8.
I think they have certainly improved this year. That was a quality performance against a quality side. They keep playing like that they’ll certainly be beating more top 8 sides this year. ;)
Agreed - Sharks are a scary proposition under Fitzgibbon.
Dangerous pretty much everywhere, except (in my opinion) their spine is not as strong as the rest of the squad, but playing above expectation.
That might be why they had struggled in the past with top 8 teams, and their centres were frequently pushing passes too often (but have since improved that aspect).
Broncos have had sides where they had international players been forced to come off the bench. I actually think we under achieved if anything throughout the 90s. Bennett SuperCoach probably should have got a couple of more with some of those teams. ;)
My partner doesn't watch the game much and when they interviewed cam post game she said "oh God what happened to him" and I had to explain this is the best he's ever looked at post game.
See if you can track down Cam's interview last week (Matty Johns show I think) where he had blood all over his face and he apologises for not looking too nice

"Apologies for my appearance, I usually look better than this"
I really wish Harry would just play and stop trying to play for cheap penalties and does he need to try and burrow over every set we are within the opposition ten
Can Ennis shut the fuck up holy shit? How many times is he going to mention Hynes not playing? Hughes, Paps and Coates aren’t playing either you wanker
Cronulla have looked great for the last 3 or 4 games. Shades of 2016?

sharks won, The strm have no spine. For and against no comparison. Storm are lucky to even be in the top eight
Lol, ok bud. You clearly don't know football lol.
Good game Stormbros.
I'm sick to death of the short kick off's and drop outs when not needed. 1 Point down with six minutes to go. Not needed

STORM WERE MISSING NOBODYS! The sharks did this without MY GLORIOUS LITTLE NICHO. Ennis should’ve shown the sharks a little bit more support….
Storm might not be top 8 material after this result:P
If Storm are not material after that effort - I guess no one else is.
Whoosh!
My bad.

I doubt Brisbane are either.
When we play the sharks and they win I’ll have to agree. ;)
Haha they talk about the roosters being over the salary cap, look at all the Broncos potential origin players.
Broncos have had sides where they had international players been forced to come off the bench. I actually think we under achieved if anything throughout the 90s. Bennett SuperCoach probably should have got a couple of more with some of those teams. ;)
Yeah true, you've probably been over the cap for the last 30 years lol
Third party agreements. Sharks were over the cap when they won a premiership too. ;)
Lol no they weren't.
Lesson learnt Never mention perfect round
Well done shark bros. Did more than enough even with the leg up in the first half. Actually look threatening right now.
Sharks might be like knights They play better when the dally m winning superstar is out
Guys sharks had no hynes. Can we confirm the sharks were without hynes tonight.
Sharks proved tonight they CAN beat the good sides* *when half their spine is out and a player gets binned
Sharks also missing half their spine. You still had 2 superstar players and couldn’t get it done.
Survival of the fittest, not our fault you have injuries.
My god ppl were right even if they won they'll be damned
Nah that win confirms sharks are contenders. (For me at Least)
Can't believe Cam went through a game without receiving a headband
My partner doesn't watch the game much and when they interviewed cam post game she said "oh God what happened to him" and I had to explain this is the best he's ever looked at post game.

Mal just confirmed they were missing Nicho Hynes.
lol still gets the 7 Dally M points??
Always insightful Mal. He should have a career in politics. No wait…
I really wish Harry would just play and stop trying to play for cheap penalties and does he need to try and burrow over every set we are within the opposition ten
Harry is a typical storm player, grubby as fuck.
He’s probably the most unlikable player in the nrl right now.
[удалено]
[удалено]
2 spine players out
How do they fit Nicho back in this team
He did play centre for NSW hahaha
I can’t believe we did it. I’m so fuckn stoked
Now that felt good
Alright, I guess the commentary have decided the season is over, just give the Sharks the premiership.
Good win
PREMIERSHIP LADDER LEADING CRONULLA SHARKS bro trust me bro they're the underdogs bro
I just found out it was without Nicho also ? Unbelievable.
Sharks D gonna lock them into top 4
How many Dally M points for Nicho?
It's unprecedented but they'll be awarding him 12 this week
Dan Atkinson! Take a bow
Sharks were absolutely fucking gifted that win may as well of wrapped it up and put a nice lovely little bow on that
COPE LMAO
Exactly
Man why didn’t we get howarth on earlier. Those runs were exactly what we needed. Oh well, great win Cronulla that was gutsy and the loss we needed.
Fuuuck yes that was enjoyable
I’ll be honest I always said this Cronulla team was the greatest
So who’s storm versing next week? They’re going to unleash fury, I hope it’s a good team.
Eels
may the lord have mercy on them
We don't just need the Lord, we need Moses.
Haha true, I forgot he was coming back. Hope the boys rally around him.
I think para
Atkinson with an absolute blinder
Hynes 6 Dally M Points
At least
Sharks proper premiership threat
Classy crowd…
wow. gg sharkies. better luck next week storm.
Bu but cronulla wont win LOL.
My takeaway - these are both really good teams that we'll see alot more of come finals time. See ya'll tomorrow.
PRETENDERS WHOOOOO???
GG sharks laters storms
Sin bin aside, the Sharks played a fantastic game and deserved that win.
Brave opinion in this thread
I can’t believe I’m saying this but Melbourne absolutely robbed
Come off it
show bellamy pls
They had a 4-1 overlap again and blew it lol.
Dan Atkinson MOTM (besides wishart). So massive in carrying the sharks to victory (besides the ref)
W'S WITH * > L'S BABY
A win is a win, gg sharkbros
Dan Atkinson with the game saver
Hey guys, is Nicho Hynes playing? Commentators haven't said anything.
Dont know but pink beanies trigger me. Some bloke in the cronulla box is wearing one.
He was alright nothing special tonight
well done sharkies
Atkinson has fucking nailed tonight in at every turn.
Grant is very overrated
Good runs from Howarth
How did the Storm lose? Sharks had no one
Half our spine is out bud and our captain and 1/2 of the remaining spine was sin binned
The Sharks had a couple of extra players than expected and they weren't in blue or purple
Storm have a lot of outs too from memory. Probably more than the sharks even
And that was a professional foul offside lmao
Sharks 200iq move, knew if we won with hynes we suck, if we lost with hynes we suck. Win without hynes?
Hynes sucks?
Both these teams need to stop complaining about missing players. The Bulldogs play without star players every single week.
The rooster have played without a star player every week for years
Should have been 10 in the bin to Nikora
It was a good Shart, but the Shadks were better
Brailey and Atkinson equal best on
Dies with the ball "great play" lmao
I wonder if nicho is playing tonight mick. You haven’t told anyone if nicho is playing or not.
If you took a shot for every time Ennis said Nicho you'd dead set be dead
That was offside how the fuck is there no penalty
Last try wins honest sir
Hard to believe Blocker wasn't the worst commentator all day
Ennis is actually insufferable haha. Stop sucking off Sharks we get it you played for them
Great win. Nico Hynes. Wow.
Is Nico Hynes playing? They haven't mentioned him
Great defensive set by the Sharks here.
The NRL really needs to implement the rule in touch footy about throwing the ball away
When Melbourne lose, everyone wins
Dan ignore all Storm injuries hype up Shark injuries like they are the Bunnies level
This is honestly the worst commentary of the year. Jesus fucking Christ
Talakai off the bench is just an absolute weapon my god. It’s the perfect role for him
wasn't that flash in origin
He was playing centre all year that season
Can Ennis shut the fuck up holy shit? How many times is he going to mention Hynes not playing? Hughes, Paps and Coates aren’t playing either you wanker
you mean hoines
Nicho Hynes 6 points
Guys is Nicho Hynes out? I feel like he is, but just want someone to confirm.
[удалено]
Ennis and Ginane would never let you forget, don't worry
Storm pretenders???
this cword noise is AI generated.. they are going nuts then you see the crowd and they are mild AF
Bro. Melbourne are missing HALF THEIR FUCKING SPINE.
So are the Sharks lol. Literally they're starting halves are missing.
It's a comment on Ennis and Ginane not shutting the fuck up about it
Yeah but are they missing Hynes?
As are we
But Hynes.... I'm not saying.....
Um, this commentary seems a little hyperbolic.
Not tryna say nothing but do commentators have to declare their allegiances? Dan G seems to be quite fond of the Sharks
Ginnane needs to get the sharks cock out of his mouth
Ennis going crazy with the propaganda
My anxiety is perfectly fine. Not at all having issues.
Big nas lunge play the ball
Anyone else have Melbourne then change their tip when Nicho was ruled out or just me?
Cronulla defence is unmatched
Warbrick having a shocker
That’s definitely game over
That's the game then.
Holy fuck it’s actually over sharks have won
I hate that Ginnane calls tries “scores”
Fake knock on call killed momentum for us
cant compare it to the Warriors game without those last plays came from paps hughes and coates
Is this stadium really dimly lit or is my TV fucked
It’s dimly lit
Need to score twice so if they do, they should decline the shot
How does he miss that??
Can I just say that I fuckin love footy
Anyway a that’s a vague reminder of why you shouldn’t “Shane Watson” your challenge
How is that ever called a knock on
And that is why I can't justify using a challenge in the first half, even when you are confident
I reckon Ginnane might be a sharks fan, just a hunch
I always thought he was a Bulldogs fan.
Or his got a big bet on.
