Kicking a dog when he’s down…
You will all have gathered, I’m sure, after my post-match rant, that I was far from impressed with what was dished up by the Sharks this past weekend. In fact, having almost expected the result, I had a whole string of articles lined up for this week aimed at pointing out exactly what I thought was wrong and asking searching questions of all concerned; players, coaches, administrators and even fans.

Sharks player ratings v Rebels
The Sharks recorded a 64-7 drubbing of an horrendously weak Rebels team on Saturday. While the opposition wasn’t up to much, you can only play what’s in front of you and it was particularly pleasing to see the Sharks stick to their guns and fine-tune their own game. [...]
Sharks to turn it around
After a disappointing lose to be Brumbies on Saturday the Sharks will face the Melbourne Rebels at Kings Park this weekend. The Rebels enjoyed a bye last week after losing 23 – 13 against the Reds a week before. [...]
