    Running it on the last.

    I knwo the seasons over and theres alot of what ifs, but just a general statement on the play which probably lost us the game. How many times does this seriously work for us? We do this minimum 4 times a game minimum and wouldnt of scored more than 3 times off it this year I dont think? (could...

    Benji playing on 1 leg

    Im convinced benji is no where near fit. A few people have mentioned hes taken a back seat in attack but I dont think its as planned as people say. Ive noticed him hobbling several times in the backplay, particularly the last two weeks, and then there was the obvious being run down by Ben Smith...

    A few vital 1% plays

    Just two vital 1% plays. Probably doesnt deserve a thread but meh. 1) The Bowen try. Mitch Brown gets to the other side of the field to keep bowen out wide making the conversion harder (and he missed). Turned out to be semi vital at 26-14. 2) Meaneys kick chase for the Ayshford try. We arent...

    How good will newcastle be in 2012?

    How good will the knights be. They have a potential backline of: 1) Boyd 2) Uate 3) Tahu 4) Sau 5) McManus 6) Gidley 7) Mullen And in the backs I didnt even name: Naiqam Mckinnon (young red head centre from saints…gun) Lulai Stig (will have to be in side somewhere) Mata'utia MacDougall (if...

    Are our tactics half our destruction?

    I was just wondering if our game plan has a lot to do with alot of our downfalls. Everyone rates our forward pack as individuals. I mean Galloway, Fifita, Heighno, Ellis, Dwyer - theres alot of good players there, but why cant a pack containing this list of players make any metres or get any...

    Fifita

    needs a big game , seriously. Im a huge fan and I think everyone is, but really since his 10 minutes of madness against Souths this guy has not done a thing. Really not making much metres, or having any impact, or even busting the line at all. Given hes gone next year if hes not offering...

    The back 3.

    These guys have too much heart and not enough of anything else. They all played okay last night and the effort is DEFINETLY there but gee we need some finishing potential there and between the three of these guys, and even Ayshford there is a real lack of potential to finish off half chances...

    Lui and Marshall just doesnt work.

    Now let me first say I think Robert Lui played well last night and could be a good NRL player but unfortunately in my opinion a rob lui and benji marshall halves combination just doesnt work. Two five eigths just dont equal a halfback. Yes im aware we made the semis last year, but the same...

    Farah to halfback?

    Could this actually work with Marshall outside him? I never liked him there but he was only trialled there when Marshall was out. I should say that we looked TWENTY times better when he went to 7 late in the game.

    Ellis

    Positive note. The last two weeks is the most dangerous he has ever been in the NRL i felt. If like every other team, we had a fullback hanging off him when he ran the ball (or a right centre and right winger who could keep up with him) , wed of scored two more tries tonight

    The most ineffective backline in the NRL.

    Find me a worse 1-7 in the competition. McKinnon is the worst fullback in the NRL (find me a worse one). Ryan played and Mitch Brown tried hard tonight, but are nothing more than stop gap wingers. Find me a worse winger combination in the comp. Lui is the worst halfback in the nrl, find me a...

    Fulton

    Honestly the most in effective player in the NRL. Hes not a work horse who cant run the ball because he gets hammered. I have never seen another backrower in the NRL get dragged across a sideline. How can guys like Junior Moors over the years be deprived of such game time , while this guy gets...

    Do you rate our attack?

    Just interested to see where people think our attack is. I ask as i think its a huge misconception we are the best attacking side in the comp. I think we are a good class below Brisbane. Dragons, Manly and Melbourne at least. Yeah we hit our straps for 20 minutes last week and vs the raiders...

    McKinnon shows the importance of a fullback.

    Fullback is close to the most important position on the field. Its hard to single out one position, but its definetly up there. Have a look at every side in the comp, particular good teams, and notice how important there fullback is to there side. Have a look at the difference McKinnon makes...

    Ayshford WOW

    I have NEVER rated Blake Ayshford. I thought he was alright, "solid" without being spectacular but that was close to the best game ive seen from a Tigers centre since McGuinness vs Dragons (Rd 2, 2001). His really coming on, that fend is very good.

    Lui goes off at 22-4.

    Robbie Lui came off at 22-4 with about 20 to go (when simona picked up that loose ball toed through). Now im not saying moving Moltzen to the halves and taking Lui off is why everything happened after that, but interesting? EDIT: Watching replay showed he went off at 12-4\. Warriors scored two...

    Forwards

    Honestly they got absolutely smashed by the knights pack. On the back of a 9-2 penalty count and all the territory our pack looked so ineffective. Any time newcastle got the ball theyd charge onto it and get over the advantage line. any time one of our fellas ran it hed be hit , driven back and...

    Speed is a wonderfull thing

    39th minute Dragons get half a sniff and go down the touchline and its all over. Benji is causing havoc in that last 20 going wide and had he had some ball runners who could actually hit the ball at pace we might of gone a bit better. And dont tell me Ayshford is fast. Theres a difference...

    Future Centre Options ... Ayshford

    I think our outside backs have been shown up for how really good they are with Lawrence out of the side. Nothing against Ayshford, his a solid player, but I think alot of people got overexcited by him at the end of last season. Our attack has always been left side dominant. The amount of tries...

    Fulton

    Your thoughts on him? He gets alot of minutes ahead of some other guys. Is it justified?
