That was identical to the Seyfarth tackle really.

Was that tackle that was so bad it was missed on field worthy of going back for a penalty, report & sin bin? Absolutely not.
 
5 weeks in, fair to say we won the break up with AFB? Maybe AFB has a negative externality on the sharks: because of the running meters he brings, the other members of the forward pack are slacking off a bit relative to last year. I don't remember their pack being this pedestrian last year. Conversely maybe our forwards are picking up the pace this year since we know that we no longer have AFB.

They're not dominating like I expected, but Nicho's as threatening as a wet noodle behind that pack. Sharks young bulls off the bench look pretty good, nowhere near as good as ours though.

Can't blame him when he is playing behind a pack that is not dominating. Other than AFB (212 m), none of the other forwards made more than 100 meters. I think it was the same last week against the dogs. The rest of their pack is clearly free loading on AFB, not putting in what they did last year because they know that AFB is there.
