Thought Dibb ****ed it there but good chase Finau

I think Finau knew it was on. The outside backs didn't.

 

[Seano]

Jesse who?

 

[Newygirl]

Smart kick

 

[Newygirl]

Lovely kick Liv

 

[Newygirl]

Watching it on 9 and you’ve been able to hear Yas through the mic all night

 

[Seano]

Tactically, given the NRLW goal kicking percentages are not as high, you take two and kick it out to 10 points and burn a minute off the clock imo....but a try works too.

 

[Billy]

Good win.
Sharks will probably go close to finals, so it's a good result.

 

[Newygirl]

Wow Karpani had half the team on her and still got it down

In addition to being captain, she seems to be providing running commentary and helping with the officiating lol

 

[Joel.M]

Honestly wasn't expecting to win that, but they look decently coached this year

 

[Newygirl]

Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect in this game, was pleasantly surprised

Great win. Higgins is the best hooker in NRLW with daylight second.

 

[Billy]

7 week preseason under Jefferies has them very fit.
We'll have to see if other sides have come back as fit.

Nine commentators say Sidney Taylor played Tarsha Gale with the Sharks - so she isn't the novice we were led to believe she is.
Certainly looked to know exactly what she is doing.
I'd like to see her get in the clear next game.

Yep very smart player

 

[Billy]

Our entire back 5 ran for over 100 metres and they all got between 47 and 63 post contact metres.
It felt like our forwards were on top, but maybe all those hard runs from the backs were why we were dominating them.

Well done to Jefferies and co. Girls looked good on attack and just needed a few balls to stick and players to not overrun the ball.

Fane and Yas are a superb edge combo and are going to cause pain to a lot of teams.

Roach out and doubt Lily will be ok with her ankle.

Would have initially thought Bo at FB to replace but might need her at 6 and it might be easier for her to defend there. Talking to fellow pundits and put forward Taylor at FB. Give her extra room could be unreal.

Yeah wouldn’t mind seeing Taylor at fullback, more room to run and good support option
