and JOC needs to step back a touch and allow his inside players a bit of room to ove and set up play – hard to to this when the defence is crushing your backline though.

What was wrong with James O'Connor last night?

Just like the rest of the team, another bad night at the office. Hard for any player to look good when a team is having a shocker. I actually thought JOC played well up until his most unfortunate kick. McIntyre played well considering the opposition and the lack lustre support he had in play. HIs defence and attacking the line for a kid in a second super rugby game was right up there. Kicking can probably improve, but that will come. Kuridrani was strong and reliable, until he kicked it. Holmes was strong and often the first to the breakdown. Genia seemed to not even want to be there tonight probably because the forwards were a bit too slow, leaving the pill for the keeping way too often. Certainly wasnt Gill’s best game but he had his golden moments.Hanson was purely outstanding. Full credit to the Sharks for a hard fought win and forcing the errors to get it. No one can blame just one person, albeit coach or player. The Reds are not in a good space, the year is nearly over and if their so called Board do not see the writing on the wall then it will happen all over again in 2016. Would love to see this line up just play hard running rugby and not fall for the oppositions tactics.

Arm chair critics and key board warriors indeed. When it comes down to it, a converted try was the difference in the score and the reds bombed three opportunities. Their were dozens of individual errors, not just one.The game was very physical and hard fought – the Sharks defence was brutal. Not a great night at the office for the Reds, but it has been that way all year. Lots to work on over the next few games and then lets hope 2016 sees the changes they need to improve and they retain players instead of letting their talent go to other franchises.
