<p>The thing with the Canes now is they can't afford to lose any more games. And the coaches seem to have gone the Marshall as cover for 1st route anyway with JGP as the next half options. So TT and Black will (thankfully) not happen as a starting combination</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Agree on Gibbins. Very limited as a player. Vito would be a much better 7 option</p>

<p>I would rather Black run the cutter than Marshall if Beaudy gets injured. Plus Black has the best boot in the squad in regards to kicking goals and that could be vital come the playoffs, TTT too is an exciting talent but is untested at this level. I would love to see them get a run at some point in the season. Maybe if/once we are confirmed in the playoffs they may give them a go to blow out the cobwebs. Both are still very young (20 I think) so I guess the coaches want them to watch and learn this season and only take part if need be.</p>

<p> Sharks up 3-0 - James Marshall a tad lucky not to be binned.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Ardie Savea with the turnover penalty win and then Perenara takes the quck tap and kicks it out - could see that coming.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Nothing new, but TJP is a fucking idiot.

[Tordah]

<p>really like that ref van der Westhuizen</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Nice play Canes - Goodes try. Coles is running very effectively.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Nice try. Sharks' D very good.

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Good lineout maul D by Canes.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Some aimless kicking from Barrett and Le Roux. Sharks 10 April looks a good player.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Very nice try Sharks. Some soft D by Fatialofa, Barrett and Julian Savea.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Those Ivan Drago twins aren't bad.

[Tordah]

<p>piss weak tackling attempt by Fatialofa and good work by the Sharks and after a few phases JP Pietersen in. 8-8 HT</p>

[Siam]

<p>SAvea J has to do better than that on defense doesn't he?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's done that about 3 weeks now. It's bloody difficult defending in that circumstance but I'd bet there's a better technique than that that Wayne Smith has passed on</p>

[Siam]

<p>Yeah blemish on Fats that close to HT</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Bedtime for me. Will be interesting to find out who won tomorrow. Flip a coin.

<p>Yeah he was in a tough situation on this particular occasion but yes he has a real knack for getting beat for tries on his line where he puts a half-shoulder hit on which doesn't do the job.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Brad Shields with a terrible pass to no one, uh, JP Pietersen, and he scores his 2nd. Sharks lead 15-8</p>

[Crash]

<p>Jesus, Coles has some pace off the mark, runs faster than some of the backs</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Brilliant hit and ruck drive Fifita</p>

[Crash]

<p>Barrett off, looks to be in some pain, limping slightly</p>
<p>Woodward on, Marshall in at 1st receiver</p>
