[00:00:08] Kofiida, Kofiida got the ball back in the Shire

[00:00:17] Tell your points line-up cause we're coming out with a trophy

[00:00:31] Not too bad, not too bad, not too bad

[00:00:33] Seeing our levels there, that's our levels talking

[00:00:35] Give me a little, say hello

[00:00:36] Hello

[00:00:37] Hello

[00:00:38] Hi

[00:00:39] Hello, hello

[00:00:40] Hello

[00:00:41] Okay

[00:00:43] Hey there welcome to SharkCast Podcast

[00:00:45] Dedicated to the greatest sporting club in the history of the world

[00:00:47] The mighty Cronulla Sharks

[00:00:50] Not so mighty tonight

[00:00:52] But we are sitting here at the Royal Motor York Club import hacking

[00:00:56] Which we love and adore

[00:00:58] Unfortunately tonight the Sharks lose 34-22

[00:01:03] To the Parramatta Eels

[00:01:05] I need to give a shout out to Dyson Logistics as well as our friend Jason Hawes

[00:01:10] But I'm here in very good company which is keeping my spirits up

[00:01:14] I'm here with Maka, I'm here with Liam

[00:01:16] I'm here with Oli

[00:01:19] And I'm here with Archie

[00:01:22] We're all Sharks fans, we're all doing a bit tough tonight

[00:01:25] Now this is Oli correct?

[00:01:27] Archie sorry

[00:01:28] Archie where did we go wrong tonight?

[00:01:30] Um yeah we didn't score enough points

[00:01:35] But Will Kennedy was pretty good

[00:01:37] Yeah

[00:01:38] Oli what do you think?

[00:01:40] Don't look at the recorder just talk

[00:01:42] I think we played well

[00:01:44] But?

[00:01:45] But Jesse Raymond didn't trust his team

[00:01:48] But Jesse Raymond didn't trust his?

[00:01:51] Team

[00:01:51] His team

[00:01:53] So what you're saying is maybe he had a bit of a nervous thing with Dan Atkinson

[00:01:59] They weren't quite prepared to play to defend together

[00:02:02] Yeah it's interesting

[00:02:03] I'm here with Maka, Maka is part of the

[00:02:05] What should the official name be?

[00:02:07] The Four Sportsmen of the Apocalypse

[00:02:09] That's the one we've given you a shout out before

[00:02:10] I never get the name right but welcome Maka to the show

[00:02:13] Where did we go wrong?

[00:02:14] I think that obviously a defensive issue on the right there with as Oli said

[00:02:21] Jesse Raymond not trusting his inside man and coming in and creating that overlap for

[00:02:25] Parramatta unfortunately

[00:02:27] And that's two games in a row for Great Britain and Nakora

[00:02:32] Not really doing a great defensive job either

[00:02:36] Yeah he's missing a few tackles which is a worry

[00:02:39] I backed the guy but I thought overall we're out enthused again

[00:02:46] A much better effort, some spectacular tries

[00:02:49] We all cheered for that

[00:02:50] But overall defensively just not good enough conceding

[00:02:53] What was it 34 points?

[00:02:56] So that's 30 plus points in three weeks lads

[00:02:59] That's not good enough

[00:03:01] But let's keep it up just for a little bit before you guys go to bed

[00:03:04] Who's your favourite player?

[00:03:05] My favourite player is Sione Katoa

[00:03:08] Why?

[00:03:11] Probably because he's got a good haircut

[00:03:15] Is it the Rats Tail?

[00:03:16] Yeah

[00:03:16] That's good

[00:03:17] He scored what two tries tonight maybe at least one

[00:03:20] Yeah at least two tries

[00:03:21] He's had his game

[00:03:22] Who's your favourite player?

[00:03:24] Sifotalika

[00:03:25] Why?

[00:03:25] He's the beast

[00:03:27] He's a beast

[00:03:28] Liam do you want to come talk?

[00:03:30] No mate no

[00:03:30] Liam's just the man in the background fair enough

[00:03:32] Where's the garlic bread Liam?

[00:03:34] We don't talk about the garlic bread Makka

[00:03:37] Look that's two losses in a row which is disappointing

[00:03:41] We've got Brisbane next week then the Bayer

[00:03:43] The Bayer cannot come quick enough to see him look tired

[00:03:46] They look a little bit bruised

[00:03:48] I thought it was obviously a better effort tonight

[00:03:50] The bench looked good for a while

[00:03:52] What are your thoughts Makka?

[00:03:54] The completion rate was very high

[00:03:55] It was to be fair it was really high

[00:03:57] Fitzgibbon probably gave them a message to hold the ball

[00:04:01] and they only got creative when they were down by I think 18 or so

[00:04:05] So as we were saying during the game you've got to be able to change your plan

[00:04:11] The completion rate was high but that's not going to win your games

[00:04:15] when you're down by 18 so

[00:04:18] I don't know it's a bit of a mid-season lull for us

[00:04:21] Our two best players out too which you can't ignore

[00:04:26] Up to Brisbane next geez not an easy place to go

[00:04:30] but hopefully a few of their players are tired after origin so we'll see

[00:04:34] Yes they got a number of guys playing

[00:04:36] We've got two hopefully both our guys can back up

[00:04:39] I think Kamikinis will back up

[00:04:40] Not sure with Nico with his calf if he'll be able to play two games in

[00:04:44] I think it's a Saturday game isn't it?

[00:04:45] It is yeah Saturday night

[00:04:46] Geez Brisbane on a Saturday night that doesn't happen too often

[00:04:50] Is that a channel I'll bet you that's the first the first channel nine game

[00:04:53] It could be

[00:04:54] On a Saturday

[00:04:55] It could be

[00:04:57] So you have both Yarra Warr boys

[00:04:59] Yep

[00:04:59] Yeah who's your favorite Yarra Warr Tiger is it Chad Townsend?

[00:05:02] Yeah

[00:05:03] Yeah he's pretty good wouldn't he still is pretty good for the Cowboys

[00:05:07] Now you were too young for the 2016 Grand Final

[00:05:09] Do you remember watching the 2016 Grand Final?

[00:05:11] No he was asleep

[00:05:12] You were asleep?

[00:05:13] Yeah

[00:05:14] You watched it back?

[00:05:16] No?

[00:05:17] Maybe maybe like in the holidays

[00:05:18] I know who scored the most tries

[00:05:21] Who?

[00:05:22] Sifatallico

[00:05:22] In the Grand Final?

[00:05:24] What are you smoking young man?

[00:05:26] He told me

[00:05:27] He told you your dad's lying to you

[00:05:30] He wasn't a shark at that point my friend

[00:05:31] There's none left

[00:05:33] Who we thinking we're thinking Ben Bava, Andrew Forfita was there anyone else?

[00:05:37] Forfita got the ball over the line

[00:05:38] Forfita

[00:05:40] In the school holidays you guys need to watch the Grand Final

[00:05:42] Yeah

[00:05:43] Yeah awesome

[00:05:45] You guys are great company tonight you know usually when the sharks are losing

[00:05:48] I get really sad I cry and I get really sad but you guys are good company

[00:05:52] Now you had a cheeseburger pizza

[00:05:55] What's going on there?

[00:05:57] Well tell me about it

[00:05:59] It was good

[00:06:00] Yeah a cheeseburger and a pizza

[00:06:03] No

[00:06:04] That's what it was

[00:06:04] It's just cheeseburger flavour

[00:06:07] Yeah okay

[00:06:07] The ingredients of a cheeseburger cut up on a pizza

[00:06:11] Yeah except without the lettuce

[00:06:12] The galley how good is the galley?

[00:06:14] What are some of the best food in the shore?

[00:06:17] The galley at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Portahacking

[00:06:20] You need to come down here and check it out

[00:06:22] We've been here all night having a great time

[00:06:25] And it's the place to be in the show that's for sure

[00:06:27] The footie was on the screens were clear

[00:06:31] The audio was crisp

[00:06:34] Everything except for the result was fantastic tonight

[00:06:37] So we definitely recommend you to come down here

[00:06:38] No docking this time which was disappointing

[00:06:40] No doco he's up playing

[00:06:41] I expect more from you now when I come to the yacht club to watch the sharks

[00:06:44] I know

[00:06:44] I expect former shark greats

[00:06:46] I know

[00:06:47] Doco was up and the Gold Coast playing golf he's a big golfer

[00:06:51] But he'll be here next time

[00:06:53] But I don't know is it time to worry yet Macker or are we good?

[00:06:57] I think as I said to you we got the runs on the board

[00:07:01] Early on in the season that's only our third loss this year

[00:07:04] If you had offered me that at the start of the season I would have taken it

[00:07:07] So yeah not going as James Maloney used to do

[00:07:10] Just water off a duck's back let's move on to next time

[00:07:13] So yeah up to the Broncos

[00:07:15] And I reckon they'll get up for that game

[00:07:18] We'll see a better performance certainly in defence

[00:07:20] I think it might be a bit of work between now and then

[00:07:22] But getting that right edge right will help a lot

[00:07:27] What do you think about the starting props

[00:07:29] Is it time to make a rotation if everyone's fit?

[00:07:32] They do look a bit tired those boys have done a lot of work for us

[00:07:35] With the injuries we've had numbers have been down

[00:07:38] So it might be time for a rotation

[00:07:41] We saw Royce Hunt tonight looked real good

[00:07:44] So I think maybe he could start

[00:07:47] And we can probably rotate those guys through all year really

[00:07:51] Like they don't have to play those big numbers they've been playing

[00:07:53] Because we've got some people back now

[00:07:55] So with everyone fit you can start rotating that bench and starters in the middle

[00:08:01] Yeah we didn't see Big Tuku tonight

[00:08:04] He would have been handy at some point

[00:08:05] We know he's not a big minutes guy at the moment

[00:08:08] But he's certainly handy

[00:08:09] So once they're all fit they can pick and choose as you say

[00:08:13] Talekal looked good again when he came on

[00:08:15] We know that he's one of our better players

[00:08:17] Yeah and Braden Hamlin-Nuele has been injured all year

[00:08:20] So his fitness will improve the more minutes he plays

[00:08:23] And I think he's probably our best middle when he is fully fit

[00:08:28] Having him back in the starting line-up might really help us out

[00:08:30] Yeah that fun flick pass to set up a last try for us

[00:08:33] Yeah that was a...

[00:08:33] Got us back into it

[00:08:34] Not sure he meant that to go to Jesse but it certainly worked didn't it

[00:08:39] I think I like the way he was thinking like something had to change

[00:08:42] Yeah that's right

[00:08:43] We've spoken about it tonight and throughout the year

[00:08:45] Just the need to change the game plan in the heat of the moment

[00:08:49] It seems to be a bit of a struggle sometimes for us

[00:08:51] And I think yeah taking Nicky Hines out of that team

[00:08:55] They're always going to battle with that

[00:08:58] I thought Dan Akerson tried pretty hard

[00:09:00] I thought Trindal tried pretty hard for his first game

[00:09:02] They'll only get better moving forward

[00:09:04] I thought there was a bit of a struggle between the battle of the kicking game

[00:09:07] Trindal seemed to do quite well with his kicking once he sort of took over a little bit

[00:09:12] I think maybe he's probably a bit sheepish after things that have happened this season

[00:09:17] And he wasn't over calling it

[00:09:19] But I think he stepped into it late in that second half and got us back into the game

[00:09:23] Obviously that try, sensational try just before half time

[00:09:27] Ronaldo making wonderful choices

[00:09:30] And Will obviously going wide early was fantastic

[00:09:35] That off script stuff, we need to work a bit on that as you say

[00:09:38] Because the completion rate was high tonight

[00:09:40] But I think we really stuck to the script too long once we got too far behind

[00:09:45] You need to play what's in front of you

[00:09:46] And obviously Nico does that very well and we missed him tonight

[00:09:49] Yeah and definitely needed to work on the defense

[00:09:51] I thought that was probably the thing that was missing tonight

[00:09:55] Again I've said it before but three weeks conceding 30 points per game

[00:09:59] That's just not good enough at this level

[00:10:00] It's not going to get you where you want to be

[00:10:02] But we will look into this game moving forward and look towards the Broncos game

[00:10:08] But we appreciate everyone listening

[00:10:09] We just thought we'd jump on and say g'day

[00:10:11] Boys you got any messages for our thousands of people listening?

[00:10:15] There's thousands of people listening to this right now

[00:10:17] Go Sharks

[00:10:18] Go Sharks, I like that

[00:10:19] What about you young man?

[00:10:21] What are you able to say?

[00:10:23] What about the Blues? Go the Blues?

[00:10:24] Yeah go Blues

[00:10:25] Go Blues?

[00:10:27] That's not our priority in life is it?

[00:10:28] And Boo the Maroons

[00:10:31] Boo the Maroons? Yeah okay

[00:10:32] Boo the Morons

[00:10:33] I'll pay that

[00:10:35] I'll pay that

[00:10:35] But we're more interested about the Sharks right?

[00:10:37] It's not Maroon cast or Blues cast, it's Shark cast

[00:10:41] Yeah we're here for the mighty Black, White and Blue

[00:10:43] Did your dad make you go for Cronulla?

[00:10:46] No I would have gone for Cronulla

[00:10:47] You did? Oh good for you guys

[00:10:49] There's no wrong answer

[00:10:51] The right answer is he made you that's what he should be doing

[00:10:54] So lots of people right now really really sad that our team lost

[00:10:57] But hopefully your youthful enthusiasm about life is bringing them back up

[00:11:02] And away from the ledge because that's what we're here to do

[00:11:05] Thanks everyone for listening appreciate you

[00:11:07] But we'll be back into the serious stuff as soon as we can
