Ricky Wants Attitude Change

Written by Cahn D. Cotter

The Sharks are now facing absolute disaster. After there 30-8 loss to the Rabbits last night at Toyota Park, Coach Ricky Stuart identified that a change of attitude is necessary in the Sharks camp.

Can you see it happening?

The signs are alarming for the Sharks, after their 13th straight loss. These results might only cause more problems amongst officials and players.
Is Ricky Stuart doing his job correctly? Are the players loyal to the Guernsey? What changes need to be made?
Already the Sharks have made massive changes to last weeks performance against the Warriors for this match up against the bunnies.

Seeing laughter and a blasè attitude amongst the devastated side in warm downs this morning, attitude is the key for the Sharks who are now confronted with a game next week that could virtually make or break there season and Ricky Stuart.

I was astonished to see these mannerism amongst a team that is facing 14 straight losses. Are these players taking this lack of form seriously? Over-hearing a player (not being named) saying, I was not playing, to a friend or fan before shrugging his shoulders and laughing.

In three weeks the Sharks have conceded 30 differential points, massed a total of 44 errors and are now facing off with a Parramatta outfit ready to stamp, perform and prove to the competition that they are favourites for this 2010 competition.

I only hope that I can be proven wrong about these Sharks. Experts have repeatedly said before this years starting, that the Sharks are the Dark-Horses of this competition and will push for the 8 at the back-end of the season.

I however believe that they are wooden spoon contenders. On the brink of disaster. Is Ricky Stuart facing losing his job over all of this? If so the Sharks will struggle for the rest of the season.

However, some positives for the Sharks is the new signing of half-back Tim Smith. He is a quality half-back that reminds me of a Todd Carney. You only have to see the growing maturity in Todd to see how well he is playing now.
Tim is exactly the same. I think it will be a huge lift for the Sharks and will add a new dimension for the club and more so for Trent Barrett who has lacked a quality half-back inside of him to get his job done.

Hearing the news, Sharks Coach and Legend of the game, Ricky Stuart announced that a change of Attitude is required for the Sharks to start winning. For Ricky sake, I hope the Sharks match up against the Eels for their fans next week and show a passionate display not just for the struggling club, but for their coach who has put so much into off-season, pre-season and now.

Good Luck to the Sharks, Please prove me wrong...
