Luke Keary forced from the field after copping a friendly-fire poke above the eye
The Roosters five-eighth copped a knock from Lindsay Collins.
One has to wonder if the supporters have been getting true value for money when they’ve purchased their admission ticket to Toyota Park this season.
This is not an observation intended to chastise the Sharks for running last in the competition, rather it is an impassioned plea to Ricky Stuart and the club trainers to think outside the square a little and exercise a greater level of creativity.
I’ve watched an elderly woman knit a cardigan with a greater level of excitement than the way the Sharks have played this year. The lack of versatility in the playing style has left many wondering if Stuart needs to overhaul his entire approach to coaching.
In previous seasons, the Sharks have always struggled with putting points on the board. However, they were able to compensate their lack of attacking flair with steel wall defence.
Sadly, the Sharks have leaked their fair share of points this year, leaving them in a dire predicament.
The loss of key attacking weapons Brett Kimmorley and Isaac de Gois have left a sizable hole in Cronulla’s ranks, and the no frills, slow and steady play of winger Luke Covell just isn’t cutting the mustard.
It would be appreciated if the Sharks could head out onto the park next weekend and prioritise scoring some points over completion rates.
If they do this, they may be able to shake the reputation of looking like a bunch of befuddled octogenarians confused about what to do with the oval shaped ball.
