Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2446870, member: 2144"] I am really hoping that this is just Maguire changing the game plan to suit finals footy and get the noobies (to finals footy) settling the nerves and losing any big heads and then finally he will light that fire cracker in the finals to give it a shake. The kick off showed how we turned up. Dave Taylor leaves the ball for EVO to just have his foot on the sideline and we get a great first attacking run from the 50. The downfall or failure to start, started from there. We were very much in the match but we didn't have a great deal of possession in the Sharks half of the field. Sharks won a fair few 50/50 calls and also won a few WTF?? ones as well. However after the refs performance so fair this week, I wasn't surprised. Archer is a terrible ref, yet it isn't the reason we lost. I am interested to see more of what I believe to be a headbutt from Paul Gallen into Luke/Sam Burgess just before we get penalised for stripping it off him in the 2nd half. I thought the forward battle was pretty even in attack but the Sharks defence was better. Sutto has dropped off any organisation and control like he had been and is not running into the line as he had been. Reynolds has been getting very kick happy and just hoping for the best. David Taylor has dropped off and making basic mistakes and he is not getting good ball. Inglis was ok on return but was handled pretty well so was never really able to make an impact from the back. I think we need to bite the bullet and drop King, he just keeps getting stood up every week and hasn't offered anything in attack. I would rather Evo moved in to centre and bring Justin Hunt onto the wing. Other then that, IMO it was played like a finals type football game and we didn't take our chances when we had them and the Sharks did. The field goal with 15 minutes to go is a huge reminder of last years Souths mindset. As I said I really hope this is just a big game builder from Maguire and the guys will find that next level in the finals. [/QUOTE]
