Bizarre wasn’t it. I think it was the first game I’ve ever been genuinely angry after a win. I felt like that yesterday, I’m feeling a bit better about it today. The Knights defence has been great all year.

Problem is Latu isn’t a halfback either. We have three 6’s. Funnily enough the best the halves have looked was when AD played 7 in the trial.
I hope his eye looked like that already.

Twal is the unsung hero of this team. The guy should be a cult hero.
Luai's value is immeasurable. He's the glue that binds this team together.
All this talk about our attack yet we're averaging 23 points per game and the team leading the comp. is averaging 25.
We win unconventional. We don't look slick, but the job gets done.
All of you criticizing Jarome and Galvin need to understand that their play is what creates the confusion in the opposition because it's not conventional. That's what creates our opportunities.
We've got a team that can play this year, yet the moaning continues on here.

I also was very disappointed that Bula is still floating in and out of games. He was great in the first half but the invisible man in the second half.

Toa is becoming a very dangerous man. He's finally replicating his game against North Queensland on a regular basis.

It was a listless game. Reflecting on it, it seemed we were saving gas for the 2nd half. Low intensity, until we were well in front and Star shaking Gagai was great. I think / feel Galvin may have been told to not overplay and let Luai take more control. Dare I say it but I missed the energizer bunny. We should have put 40+ on them - they were terrible at home. Good to see big Sam back to his best. I’ll take any win and the ref blew how many penalties and 6 agains to give them the consolation try. And Ponga - who should have been HIA’d - missed the goal. It was like we wanted to play at 60% to conserve ourselves. We ended up favs with the bookies at kick off. Got my multi - Turuva first try and the win. Parra next week. Let’s pack it out and claws out!

Yes that is true.
I think we are wasting Luai at 7.
He’s played 5 games for us now and even though we’ve won 3 of them, we really haven’t looked great in attack bar the 40 minute mid game blitz v Parra and the late charge home v Dolphins.
To my mind, we’ve only played one top 8 team so far. These early games are the practice run to form combos before we face the gauntlet post magic round….tough game after tough game is coming.

And Doueihi needs some more goal practice!

I agree they are all 5/8's. But moving Galvin to centre the best option to stop him stifling the attack.
But Doueihi's success at 1/2 would be short lived as the opposition coaches work out his deficiencies quick time.

He scored a try that he created, delivered a pass to score a try, was good under the high ball. If that's coming in and out of games then I'll take it. You don't want him hitting his straps till later in the year anyway.

Goal kicking definitely needs to be discussed at training.
Not acceptable why didn’t doueihi/api alternate as they usually do.

Are you Nadens mother? In what world does he deserve a spot? He spent most of last season (and frankly his entire tenure here) either bludging, having brain explosions or being suspended.
And because he had a couple of good trial games, he’s earned a spot? Funny how he finally strings together a few good games in a contract year. What a coincidence!
I genuinely wonder whether people on this forum actually watch our games.

Ponga was on the left trailing Galvin and Luai when it went right for Bula's try. He didn't follow his opposite, shows where the threat is seen.

Listen to WT life and Adel for a great run down of the game.

No I'm going on what was being said about him pre season in regards to his training & commitment and how well he played leading up to his injury.
His coach felt he deserved a shot and was given it & performed well.....losing it only to injury. As I said, I would rather the 17 that started again the Knights in the last game

He kicked 5 from 5 or was it 6 from 6:a few weeks back. He's not kicking well since he did his groin.

Well we all saw it, so did the senior players. We could have/should have put 40 on Newcastle.
Galvin was playing for himself, not the team. He tried "too hard" to impress with some real bad options when in possession. A lot of wasted tackles as he hogged the ball to a crap kicking game.
