What side have we named?

 

[fergiefurr]

Interesting matchup for us. We've got fairly forward heavy whereas the knights are stacked with backs and small forwards

I dunno if we are forwards heavy anymore with Simona and Suli replacing two forwards in the squad. Our squad actually looks quite good now.

simona not playing

him, brooks, ava and jj miss this game

[MacDougall]

Who the hell is playing in the halves then?

 

[MacDougall]

Oh … we have JLJ, Rankin and Hunt all there so should be okay.

 

[MacDougall]

Leaving Brooks and Simona out makes me think they really don't care about winning after all. They have a squad over there that could contend but nope let's just not bother.

 

[MacDougall]

Newcastle score after a … kick and there was absolutely no fullback there.

 

[MacDougall]

Suli drops it on his first carry.

 

[MacDougall]

Newcastle score after … a run.

 

[jadtiger]

As per usual rhs defence is missing

 

[MacDougall]

So far so good for Taylor's plan not to win. Genius.

 

[MacDougall]

Newcastle score after a pass to a player.

 

[jadtiger]

Absolute rubbish performance.

 

[the_third]

Coaching genius on display right here

 

[MacDougall]

Justin Hunt knocks on after Sue magic gifts him a try.

 

[eyewonder]

this was worth watching .not.
at least im sitting in air conditioning.

 

[hodgo]

seriously though we have zero pace no real organisers its a pretty bad squad

 

[MacDougall]

Chee Kam just puts his head down and barrels over for a try.

 

[jadtiger]

Down 14-6 at ht.needs a massive improvement in the 2nd half

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Why Brooks over and leave him out of the first game. Pretty uninspiring stuff there.
