Bennett: Knights best team we've played so far

Seriously? They had a lot of great ball and failed to generate very much in the second half. I thought the Knights forwards were good but there backs and halves were not threatening at all. Neither deserve selection in my opinion.

I agree with you somewhat St Phil. I don't think Gidley is up to SOO standard however i think thus far Mullen has been the best of the NSW 7's. I would much prefer to have Mullen in the NSW team then Mitchell Pierce (absolute penis head).

Also credit to the knights they played tough and kept coming however the better team did get the win.

I think soward deserves it more than mullen. He is a 6 in jumper only. Agreed - Pearce is just a first grader with media mates / lobbying.

I missed most of the game yesterday - first time in a long time. I was on the road and miles from anywhere. So what was it like? Who were the standouts? Injuries? The reports I heard suggest it was a cracker of a game.

I was listening to ABC radio in the car and the post-match interview with the coaches. Bennett rated the Knights as the best team we've played so far this year. Interesting considering that we lost to the sharks two weeks ago - probably a reflection of the fact that we played our worst game in three years in that game, while the sharks played their best ever.

As expected, we are seeing teams bringing their 'A Game' to us. IMO, to win against quality opposition can only improve our stocks.

Thats a massive call by Bennett..but the Knights with all there injuries are still hard to beat!

Are you two idiots or something, can you not read? i said the bad calls were both ways & the better team won, morons.
Awww... Now who's in a sh*tty mood? LOL!

Hey chuckles, who in this thread said there weren't calls both way?

Maybe if you come in without the chest beating you'd look less like a tool.

You obviously had a bad weekend... your mob couldn't get over the line when it counted. Take a pill, or have a cold shower, or whatever you normally do when the keyboard hero inside takes hold.

It's over. Best team won but only just. Least we got a good contest instead of a walkover which it would never have been.
Now we have to take care of proper business - eg beating the f*ck out of one of our most hated arch rivals.

Willow - Hey chuckles, who in this thread said there weren't calls both way?

Probably a bit too much respect shown for them - they were really gutsy, as they always are, but take away the fact that there were some very questionable calls by the referees and touch judges in the second half which gifted the knights 60% possession, we were definitely the better side overall.

the performance by the sharks was the best we've encountered so far this season, but arguably newcastle will finish higher up the ladder than the sharks will anyway.

The Knights only got a roll on when they received a run of penalties in the second half, starting with the questionable one against Beau Scott.....some of the refs decisions were ordinary to say the least.....also the penalty aginst Soward was strange when one of the ref overuled the other..... having said that i thought Sowards kicking game was not up to his usual standard

Great effort from the boys...the Knights had so much ball and got EVERY decision from the 30 minute mark onwards. The tinkler effect is evidently trickling down to the refs!!

Tommy,

You have got to know Willow so as to be aware of his insecurities.

He likes to use the word "touchy" a lot and he often incorrectly comprehends what some posters intended to infer when discussing all things league. Don't take it personally and don't bother replying to his posts as it only further feeds his insecurities and increases his need to put you down.

Must be for our benefit you wrote it in the Dragons forum and not yours?. Guess you like playing to the crowd in Tinky Winkys private kingdom
