Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Warriors @ Mt Smart Stadium

[Spot On]

We're better off without Mullen, Trent Hodkinson has been in the best shape and fitness of his life during the pre-season.

Yeah, I think a few in here need to turn the sarcasm meter on.

That said, you seem to be a newby so it's understandable you missed it.

Been a while since johns and butterfield have played for the knights. They have smashed the warriors in the 20s. Johns even scored.

The halfback loughrey and hooker starling have carved them to bits.

Final score 48-10

Final score 48-10

Disappointed this was televised and I missed it.

Not often the junior Warriors get thumped.

NSW Cup about to play on Fox now as well for those interested.

Starling & Loughrey were brilliant, Johns & the fullback Cooper looked good too. Looks like we could be in for a good season in 20s at least.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Our reserve grade squad is about 3/4 of our first grade team from last season.

And the warriors showing us why they are reserve graders.

 

[Johns Magic]

Three tries down already and I don't think we've touched the ball yet.

Starling is such a gun. Deadset just a gun.

I have doubts over his size, but I also thought Luke Yates would never make it either, and look what happened there.

Denis, Chanel, mataora, Randell, paea, Fitzgibbon, Tupou, king, pat. All were regulars in first grade last season (tupou in esl) you would think they would put in a better showing than this.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Wow, warriors just scored from their own kick off.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

This is one of the worst performances I have seen in any grade from the knights. None of these players should be near first grade this season.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

42-4 at half time against our 2016 first grade team.

 

[Johns Magic]

Brendan Elliott not playing NSW Cup...any chance we have had someone pull out in the first-grade side ?

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

He's 18th man I think

 

[Johns Magic]

42-4 at half time against our 2016 first grade team.

Very soft. Just a general lack of intent.

Meaney the only one who has showed anything so far.

 

[Johns Magic]

He's 18th man I think

Do clubs have fresh 18th men these days?

 

[Spot On]

Here's hoping we don't see a similar performance in firsts.

After watching Canberra last night it was obvious we had no opposition turn up in the trial win.

Will be a different story today if the Warriors 'show up'. Hope we can handle it.

 

[Glendale]

If that's our depth for the year then yikes

Yeah, doesn't leave too many options of brown wants to drop someone from first grade. May have to look to the 20s squad.
