Not sure how much of the knights you watched during their runs last couple of years or this year in fact, but Ponga was incredible in those runs. One man team is not far off. They have been absolutely dreadful this year with a few more attacking weapons on the park. Their attack makes us look like 05 Tigers.
I agree (RE: Fale)
All the great Robbie farah had to do was kick the leather off the football on the last tackle the set before and make the Warriors go the length of the field, Instead he opted to run it on the last and gave the Warriors field position.
I agree with you except to add that he's quite obviously already well into the decline phase. He's not been the same player for Melbourne over the past couple of seasons, the idea that he's suddenly going to revert to 2022 form and fitness upon leaving is wishful thinking of the highest order.
I don’t know about beast, but I agree he’s better than that. You’d reckon he is onto his management to get him a start somewhere in the shop window for the franchise sale.
No ex girlfriends, especially ugly ones. If they develop Mason properly he will be better than scatterbrain, so is it an upgrade?
We don't even need them to be explosive or anything, just someone reliable who can break 1 or 2 tackles a game, can grind a few post contact metres, makes his tackles and can put in for 40 - 50 minutes to help out May.
Why?
If we're getting a new Assistants in them my vote is for Neil Henry. Good coach who took a no name Titans team to the finals the year before the club ruined him by signing Hayne behind his back and stuffed what he was assembling.
If Payton didn't roll his bloody ankle on the tennis ball at training the week of the preliminary final in 2010 we win the comp that year.
😂😂😂 Bit on the nose
I dunno, he was streets ahead of any other knights players in the Dally M last year despite only playing 16 games. Plenty of better judges than me think he has been carrying the Knights for years.
I would argue that Ponga has actually been detrimental to the ability of that side to play consistent footy or develop decent halves. In their attacking set up he has first right of refusal on every play, when he is out injured or just a little bit off his game they really struggle.
Going back to your first comment this is the point. You are comparing apples and oranges with the Knights and Tigers. Knights have had a good roster the last few years but their football is underwhelming and they are overly reliant on Ponga for attacking output. They have realistically never looked a threat when they should of been pushing up the table and now they have had a steep decline this year.
Andrew Johns was like that in his day . They'd lose by 50 without him, then win by 50 with him
Turbo in 2019 I think it was
