Rd25 2025: Non Parra games

[Suitman]

And followed up by a second journo with the final question.
The first guy was definitely a local GC journo, bringing the crowd into it with his claim there were more Warriors fans there than Titans fans.

And that was also fine to ask that.
Maybe like us, the Gold Coast fans and media have had enough of their lack of success.

 

[emjaycee]

Why?
He was asking questions that fans want answered.
He pushed the crappy answers that Hasler gave.
Good on him.

Yeah but as Hasler said, that press conference isnt the place to discuss retention and contracts, etc. and never really has been. Save it for one of the two scheduled mid-week ones.

Yeah fair enough! Definitely can understand why fans want answers....

I just think the press conference is regarding the game not contracts. Jorno's all have the pre game day press conference to question the coach on all matters.

Where which they will give the same answers.
I for once applaud the journalist in this case.
Des could have at least shut the conversation down quickly by saying something simple like "we are still in discussions", or something likewise.
He's not smart enough to think that quickly.

And with the Titans loss and our win, we're mathematically free from "spoonzone"!

Knights still in danger though....

Go us

Down to the last game last year to avoid the spoon

Down to the third last game this year

What odds we cant win the spoon after Rd22 next year ?

 

[Gronk]

Des is evasive and has always spoke in riddles. No different to Bennett etc. A journalist should never take it personal. Some will support him I guess, but I would not want him disrespecting our coach like that.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Des has 2 games left i dont think he gives a flying toss.

In terms of Fifita whats he supposed to say post game.

Of course he wont be there but Des gave a diplomatic answer at this stage he is contracted for 2026 and a Titans player.

Legally there isn't much more he can say.

His not going to come out and say he wont play for them again. If other clubs change there mind and not want him.

You can see the difference between clubs...

Knights have pushed Vatano back to 18th man and put Gagai at fullback. You aren't making the finals play your future and get them experience.

Ryles isn't worried about losing now to get the younger guys experience for the future..

 

[Avenger]

Jake Arthur, while a nice young man, is painfully mediocre and has no place in first grade. He’s a liability, and his piss weak kicking game combined with his sluggish pace is obvious even to a bystander watching from the carpark.

O'Brien is a rubbish bush coach.

Has no idea and an a self inflated ego of himself.

Telling the world he has won comps as an assistant coach.

Was enough for me to realise he was out of his depth.

As avenger posted above JA isn't the future why is he playing in first grade? If his Brothers is signed up to play dummy half next year why isn't he playing.

Terrible coach as you said no idea just trying to get wins on the board now as his career as a coach is over..

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Jakey, Jakey, Jakey… you gotta catch those ones son.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

And then compounds the error by screaming up out of the line. Game over I’d say. 12 point turn around that one.

One man fighting for his future, the other one building a future

Knights fans are going to be so refreshed by the leadership, maturity and detail dylbags brings to the side.

Ahahhaa

 

[hineyrulz]

Me on my 5th Kraken watching Jake Arthur pretend to be a first grade RL player.

 

[Noise]

Jake Arthur cracks me up

 

[senior]

How the absolute f**k has JA not improved throughout all these years???
