LIVE GAME Round 23 vs. Knights

[hank37w]

Knights have the ball 30 secs to half time and a couple of tackles left !
I thought oh shit ! They will score here . How come I knew that ?

I thought everyone knew that.

 

[Tucker]

I thought everyone knew that.

Yeah it’s happened approximately 74 times in the past decade.

 

[BalmainBoy67]

Pissed off .....no send off's or sin bins ....complete inconsistency again

Don't worry... we can try for two next game...

Did anyone like Sezer to Fat off the scrum? That was a moment of joy for a long serving fan and member. Bula’s try off Ponga was brilliant. The back line move to put douhei to fall over was great. The knights winger played incredible and had some very lucky moments. Our defense was shocking but we had to outscore them. Benji ball for now when we can’t catch a trick.

My asking for Chris Faagutu to be given a run in today's side would not have been a bad choice considering the dross that was served up today.

Why submit another young player to this dross? Better off getting some wins in other grades. They never looked in it today against a pretty average team

 

[hank37w]

Yes he does ! Wtf are you talking about . It’s simultaneous . It’s why you can have 1 foot out to touch and one foot in , and it’s out.
You’re wrong !
It doesn’t change anything anyway . They should have had 2 more tries if not for luck .
But it’s annoying because it’s not accurate . The defence down that edge needs to be fixed .

Get real, the Ponga kick was deadset lucky, a fluke even, but the kid is aptly named, he's sharp alright, maybe even lucky but still a legitimate try and one that could only be scored against the Wests Tigers with only seconds remaining before half time.

Watching gamble lose his marbles was fun and even the red head kept his cool. Why didn’t we let him run at him at after the penalty 😂 . Our defense is so dreadful. But we are scoring some tries. Is Morris really our defensive coach? Praying Richo has some plans to make us less like pillows. Hate to say it (and maybe seeing my 6 year old cheer on was the thing), but more optimistic than I have been since 2012. And I was a kid at the 1988 / 89 Grand finals

Geeze there’s some beefcakes in this Newcastle NRLW team.
Lay off the sandwiches ladies….

Did anyone like Sezer to Fat off the scrum?

That was a sweet set peice move. Bula fed the scrum
To sezer at lock then drifted wide like he was going
on a big sweep, only 4 Faatape to come in hard
on an angle and crash through. We tried another
set play off the scrum (when Douiehi knocked on)

 

[hank37w]

He’s been getting some ordinary passes from Galvin.

Galvin can be excused, he wasn't here when they were doing 100 passes every day at training and it's fairly obvious that Doueihi wasn't catching any of them.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

Was this instructed by Benji? Or was Doueihi taking it upon himself? It was horrendous.

Alaimalo is no world beater but defending outside Doueihi at the moment is a hiding to nothing

I couldn't tell if he was trying to intercept or just avoid contact. One try conceded down his side, he was actually inside Frizell and left Alaimalo with 3 attackers running at him.

 

[Suzie-Q]

Doueihi's defense is always rubbish in the centres

The last 3 words are redundant

 

[Suzie-Q]

Benji only puts tallyn on when sezer gets injured pfft

You know, some of Tim's bench selections first time around used to have me scratching my head. Seems Benji was paying attention then. His use of the bench is diabolical!

 

[Betterdays22]

I couldn't tell if he was trying to intercept or just avoid contact. One try conceded down his side, he was actually inside Frizell and left Alaimalo with 3 attackers running at him.

Knights figured it out pretty quickly with the early kick for the try, then Pongas floating cut out. It was park Footy defence

Oh dear.

 

[hank37w]

we get stripped for numbers so easy

It’s like we’ve got 10 on the field

Usually we do.

 

[Tucker]

Oh dear.

Oh dear what?
If you want to be taken seriously, you can’t rock up to the elite form of your sport so fat.

 

[Suzie-Q]

Yet we offered one of them $800k for 5 years.

Again, I need a facepalm reaction
🤦🏻‍♀️

 

[BalmainJnr]

Anyone think the side or any individual players have improved since round 2?

 

[hank37w]

Doueihi's defense is always rubbish in the centres

You mean it's better when he plays somewhere else?
