Omg that's not a hip drop

Between the Wahs and the Dogs, guess the Dogs got the better Penrith coach this year.

Scrappy win but it is what it is. Get the 2 points and we move on to next round. Really feel for Hynes tho poor guy can’t catch a break. Was at the game today and witnessed some absolutely shocking behaviour from sharks fans. Disgusting terms thrown his way for missing the kick to win the game. Don’t wanna say to much but they were insulting his nationality. Shit needs to stop. Bunch of mediocre fans who cry like little babies when there team loses. Been a member since 07’ through the good and the bad. Don’t think I’ve ever insulted someone so badly in my life. This is to everyone because what I heard today was really bad. This racial abuse needs to stop. Especially from fans towards players.

Sharks really coming apart towards the back end of the season.

3

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

You could just say Sharks resume to normality.

5

u/TRTVitorBelfort Melbourne Storm 2d ago

I was downvoted to the hills for asking earlier in the season if the sharks were to finish 1st but lose in straight sets again would that be a failure. Wondering what happens if they go 3 years in a row without a finals win.

1

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

Not an unfair ascertain as it’s become a trend.

16

u/gbren Sydney Roosters 2d ago

Nicho on welfare check

1

u/nostraduckus Penrith Panthers 2d ago

Is Nicho still injured? His kicking has been shite, and Trindall did the bulk of the long range booting

4

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

I really want him to do well. But eeek, he’s not doing anything to help himself. Would love to see him back at fullback, but not possible with the current Sharks team.

6

u/wild-inner-west Balmain Tigers 2d ago

Nicho on welfare cheque, starting Monday

2

u/gbren Sydney Roosters 2d ago

Brutal

u/KingZlatan10 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

I’m not happy we won. But I’m happy we didn’t lose.

u/llDanvers Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Good game Burton's leg

6

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

MOTM performance that leg. Everyone else and all other limbs were pretty shit.

5

u/nostraduckus Penrith Panthers 2d ago

LOTM with 3 Dally Legs

10

u/Zanyo I love my footy 2d ago

Bring back Atkinson I swear trindall just fucking runs the same lines has hynes all game and it's killing his confidence because he's constantly trying to figure what else can do.

It's like if luai just ran and hogged all the spaces cleary would run/ hit I'd be rattled too

1

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

Trindall was pretty bad

7

u/CoffeeLoverNathan NSW Blues 2d ago

Wonder why the Sharks barely went to Ramien since he's been fantastic all year

u/No_Barber8440 Newcastle Knights 2d ago

Yep he needs early ball

u/ImDisrespectful2Dirt Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Was that Morrin chasing the field goal at the end there?

u/ShadowBannedSkyRu1e Brisbane Broncos 2d ago

Nicho for origin 3?

1

u/LynxAromatic126 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

I think drew hutchitson retained his origin jersey but Hynes definitely back up for worst case scenario

1

u/ShadowBannedSkyRu1e Brisbane Broncos 1d ago

i’d pick burton over hynes

11

u/Strez92 Sydney Roosters 🏳️‍🌈 2d ago

Still don't agree with the penalty that got it to extra time, but GG Dogs, stole that one after some very lackluster attack inside the 20

28

u/toomuchsoup Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

Hey Siri, play Hurt by Johnny Cash

18

u/aFlagonOWoobla Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

Nicho sucks.

22

u/horseshoe107 I love my footy 2d ago

Never mind the golden point, Doggies were losing the ruck the whole way and only stayed in it because of Burton's kicks he's a fuckin cheat code.

6

u/OkNectarine3105 New Zealand Warriors 2d ago

Please stop playing that song.

1

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

What’s the song

2

u/OkNectarine3105 New Zealand Warriors 1d ago

Heeeeey baby.

3

u/toomuchsoup Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

I thought as a society we had moved past that song. I was sadly mistaken

4

u/OkNectarine3105 New Zealand Warriors 2d ago

And it's just the one chorus line over and over, so annoying.

26

u/AmazingChicken99 Wests Tigers 🏳️‍🌈 2d ago

"Did you see Nicho miss, even I could hit that"

Every bloke at footy tomorrow

5

u/gbren Sydney Roosters 2d ago

Every bloke at footy: Correct

18

u/Cooperdyl Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

Nicho will probably cop the blame for that missed field goal that he definitely should have hit, but let’s not forget Toby Rudolf DIRECTLY gave up the dog’s second try and the penalty for their penalty goal.

1

u/ImpressionFeisty8359 Brisbane Broncos 2d ago

He hasn't looked good after returning from injury.

3

u/Past-Advance-8685 Penrith Panthers 2d ago

Let’s not forget Nicho also missed two conversion attempts. He’s shit.

4

u/Cooperdyl Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

From the sideline, to be fair…

1

u/No_Barber8440 Newcastle Knights 2d ago

Other kickers get them... at least some...

2

u/Cooperdyl Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

I mean if the argument is everyone who misses a conversation from the sideline is a shit player then you’d hate to be a kicker 😅

0

u/Past-Advance-8685 Penrith Panthers 2d ago

To be on $1 mil a year and missing 2 kicks and a field goal attempt from in front of the post, he is shit.

1

u/No_Barber8440 Newcastle Knights 1d ago

Also had a chance to win a game from the sideline

He isn't clutch

He is a fullback not a 7

14

u/CraigMag Weak Gutted Bulldogs 2d ago

My heart

8

u/JoeyJoJunior Dargons 2d ago

Hynes is now like a cricket batter forever getting out in the 90s

2

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

If only he was getting out in the 90s. More like Warner - a bloke previously averaging 50s in tests who dropped to mid-20s.

2

u/JoeyJoJunior Dargons 2d ago

Yeah Its not a great comparison, continual 90s are still quite valuable. Warner just retired too tho.

8

u/LiLSteve29 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

Happy i didn’t go to this game

u/cameronwhoward Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

I both love and hate rugby league. I'm about to die.

Mahoney legit has Kuato on the left side of his head.

u/jubagchainlightning Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Im old to get this reference

u/Vikarr Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Burton not being in origin is a crime

-5

u/throwokayaway222 2d ago

Can’t defend and who does he replace?

2

u/jmccar15 I love my footy 2d ago

Who’s he replace? I struggle to swap him out for anyone who played game 2.

Executed perfectly says Brandy. It hit the post dickhead.

u/Snowmann88 Weak-Gutted Bulldog 2d ago

Sums up the game..lucky to win. GG Sharts bro.

u/Virtual_Bad6959 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Nicho couldn’t kick for his life

10

u/Old-Arse-Man NSW Blues 2d ago

So has Nicho been going downhill since that Dally M medal In 2022?

6

u/Biggchi Melbourne Storm 2d ago

I think he was good at the start of the season. Sharks were on fire then

9

u/Beneficial_Aside_298 Newcastle Knights 2d ago

Nicho goes downhill everytime he’s selected after being good and dropped after not being good. Kid needs to just never be selected until he goes to therapy or something 🤣

34

u/exilia77 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Ahhhh I saw the it hit the post and fell to my knees then realised it went in and now I'm on the roof. Thank you Burto

26

u/Vikarr Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Fell to my knees on the roof of chemist warehouse

19

u/icome3rd Parramatta Eels 2d ago

Nicho needs to decline any future origin selection. It cooks the sharks season

12

u/MisterEvilBreakfast Canberra Raiders 2d ago

I have a funny feeling that he won't need to decline any selection in the near future

24

u/ryman221 Gold Coast Titans 2d ago

I love Nicho but fuck man he has no composure in big moments.

31

u/ImDisrespectful2Dirt Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

As a Dogs fan I genuinely feel bad for Hynes there. The pressure on him is immense and he’s going to cop the blame here again. His form hasn’t been bad enough to justify it, but you’d wonder if there would be some benefit to having him drop into Cup and dominate some teams to rebuild the confidence?

5

u/Voldemosh Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

Genuinely don't think we can drop our "marquee" player unfortunately. His confidence has to look like swiss cheese. I blame this loss on Rudolf tbh. An absolute passenger and half the reason we lost in the first place.

1

u/OkNectarine3105 New Zealand Warriors 2d ago

Yes, but he still should have got that kick. Couldn't have been set up any better or closer.

6

u/Smeags777 St. George Illawarra Dargons 2d ago

Situations like these are the reason he gets paid big money. And the jury is out, he can't cut it in any of the moments that matter.

23

u/__dontpanic__ Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

I don't know how we escaped with that win.

2

u/put_your_socks_on Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

We played shit. Our big money player did fuck all the whole game.

1

u/DylLambo Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Nicho Hynes is a fraud, pass it on.

1

u/jhowarth95 Brisbane Broncos 🏳️‍🌈 2d ago

Double it and give it to the next Origin halfback

10

u/No_Barber8440 Newcastle Knights 2d ago

He just stabbed that... didn't smash it

12

u/Kingtripz Sydney Roosters 2d ago

Hynes against bottom 8 teams: 👍🏼 Hynes against top 8 teams: 🐱

10

u/squat_bench_press Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Fuck me dead I can’t believe it

5

u/bulldogs1974 NSW Blues 2d ago

Believe it, Brother. If you believe it, you make it happen. Dogs will to not give up, keep in the fight and back each other up. Team mentality is strong and growing by the week.

u/DominoEffect1000 Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2d ago

Just need a half back that's first grade material

28

u/XLenceOfXecution Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

This could nuke our season. Hynes’s confidence, if it wasn’t rock bottom before, has to be through the floor now

1

u/No_Barber8440 Newcastle Knights 2d ago

What confidence? Unless it's a bottom 8 team he has nothing

4

u/HairyMootWarrior Kangaroos 2d ago

I can’t wait for the commutators to ask Nicho how it feels to cost his side the game

12

u/beachsprintchampion Parramatta Eels 2d ago

Hynes looks sad

12

u/Voldemosh Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

Would love for the blues to stop picking Nicho at this point

1

u/No_Barber8440 Newcastle Knights 2d ago

So would Blues fans

3

u/drchocy10 Penrith Panthers 2d ago

I don’t think you will have to worry.

1

u/Voldemosh Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 2d ago

I already wasn't worrying. Then it happened again

33

u/Biggchi Melbourne Storm 2d ago

Nicos kicking has cost them the game. Missed 2 goals and then a field goal.

1

u/destroyedAVS Melbourne Storm 2d ago

Don't forget his general kicks during the game. Some were abysmal. Sucks, great player.
