After that second half clanger, I said to my wife, remember when Motu Tony got the starting full back role and he kept making errors in the first few games, and he got the ironic cheers when he did collect the ball from a kick, you just wait when Sharp does the same. Glad to know the morons in the stadium didn't let me down.

What these idiots should know that any sportsman in any sport can suffer from lack of confidence after making mistakes. Do people think that anyone does these things on purpose? To anybody with an IQ lower than their shoe size, here's a little tip. Giving it the ironic cheers isn't going to help, ok?

You can see the lad is keen for work, and gives it plenty of effort with ball in hand, so give the guy a break.

Quite agree. One moron behind me booed him as he went off. Individual players should never be booed or jeered, IMO.

A couple of clanglers last night from Will but he will learn and become a better player because of them.

I was just being devils advocate and using Yeaman as an example. Although everyone can have their own opinion, mine is that Houghton, Fitzgibbon, Obst and Tickle are by far ahead of Yeaman when it come to our top performer so far.

Other players have cost us tries. Why single out Sharp. Didn't Sharp score in each of our first 4 or 5 games?

Christ, don't look for the positives that he was our top try scorer at one point.

Lets just run with the fact that he's made a few errors and isn't good enough, despite the fact our right side defence is constantly pulled out of position, he makes good yards and clean breaks and knows where the try line is.

Must admit I am worried about Sharp's positioning at times and he should have had the ball covered. Was probably expecting too much, I always hope a new signing will be a superstar and the answer to all our problems. Very pleased with Obst though

Despite all his frailties and been lightweight, I like Sharpe. Wingers rarely see the ball in the modern game but he's always willing to work hard and go looking for it. He'd take the ball up every tackle if possible. Any player that's constantly in a 3 on 1 diffensive situation is always going to struggle. Will can only work on his personal game for the 1 on 1 situations and should not be held in account for other players out of position. It may also help if he starts to get a regular centre partner who he can build up a positional understanding with, ironic jeering is not going to help, save that for the ref.

I was there and what I saw was a winger coming some 20metres infield to try and defuse a horridly bouncing ball that shoud've been dealt with by the 'infield' players; the lot of them stood and watched the ball. Sharp for me did nothing more than try to clean up their mistake.
I'm happy with Sharps contribution to the game.

You never saw him break through only to find Radford in support then?
Give the lad a break,he is still young and on a learning curve.
Have you never made a mistake?

Yeah, he's made one or 2 errors but I think he's contributed more positives to the team than negatives and he's got the right attitude, reminds me a bit of Calderwood in that respect. If we stick with him I think he'll develop into a really good winger.

Couldn't agree more.

The bounce of the ball was horrendous and is even mentioned in the Sky text report of the game.
I hate it when fans get on a players back. I dont think anyone can say he doesn't give his all or makes mistakes on purpose (except the original poster ).

The fact the ball shouldn't have got to him is hardly an excuse for what he did though. he's costing us at least a try a game with his errors. if it had been hall still with us and doing it the lynch mob would be out

I admit when he missed the ball ,a few expletives passed my lips,but,as I say,we all make mistakes.I still think he is a prospect.

Maybe. He is certainly a long way from the finished article though

I like Sharp he works hard, and when he gets the chance to run at pace he is a very exciting young player, although i feel he needs to compose himself a little more, and yes he did make a couple of mistakes with his positioning but so do a lot of our experienced players missed tackles, offloading the ball, stupid passes, Sharp is a talented young guy, where i was sat people clapped him off, but for some fans to boo at an individual player like that is shameful

Stint in the U-20s will do him no harm...its not just this match though,he fecked up last week and has been caught out of postion in other matches...id have to see it again but i thought he was at fault for 1st try as he seemed to get sucked infield...got slagged off by all around me for saying it but looked like it to me........
