    Team Vs Roosters

    CJ your posts are most amusing and your evaluations "interesting". I would like to know how you conclude Polglaise is "safe at the back"- back of what, the que of NRL players who can,t make it at this level? McManus you say of his defence "improving each week"- did you note that he had 5 missed...

    Overachieving?

    I see a lot of positives- hence I say we have achieved more than we really should have WITH the players we have. A lot of the younger guys are showing improvement and I think will develop. Others have had ample time (maybe not the opportunity under the previous coach/culture) but have not...

    Overachieving?

    I'll start by emphasising the point that this evaluation is simply my view and some my not agree. I challange readers to "take their rose coloured glasses" off and be truely objective when doing this exercise. I suggest that the Knights are overachieving to have won half of our games thus...

    Most annoying cliches?

    Ben S..Ikin.. ING is the absolute King of crap commentary. How about "This kid can play...watch him go"

    Half and 5/8 for the futre

    How far in the "future" are we talking here? I believe that we wont be in a position of two strong playmakers with kicking games in the halves created from current player stocks is at least 2 years away. Given that, if we truely want to be competitive we will have to buy a short term solution...

    Contract Renewals

    If we are making business decisions on purchasing/re-purchasing assets (players) for our business, I believe that we need to apply a tried and true business model in our decision making. Whilst this approach is very impersonal, we need to accept that we are in a business environment...

    Could It Be?

    I have heard a rumour (from a political source) that Mr Iemma will be attending the Knights game on Sunday. Now call me a cynic if you like but my brain says (hopes) this... 1 week before a state election, Premiers attending big public event, ALP under immense pressure in the seat of...

    Australian response to the Haka!

    If I,m not mistaking it channel 9's job to look after its shareholders and clearly this has been done at the expense of the interest of the game eg: game image damage with the Mason incident, ridiculus broadcast times in Victoria, delayed not live telecasts etc...I didnt say or even imply...

    Australian response to the Haka!

    Another dimesion to this that hasnt been mentioned yet-this incident shows the way the media collaborate to generate stories and are driven by self-interest. The channel 9 broadcast was delayed are surely they must have known that broadcasting Willies response was going to cause a drama and they...

    Webcke admits to testing positive to drugs

    I have immense respect for Webke and take nothing away from him as a result of this incident, but however, if the NRL knew of this breach it does show the inequity that exists in our game and highlights what a lot of people think- that there are different rules for different clubs/players...

    knights players that got under your skin

    Great find I had completely forgotten about him (maybe a case of blotting the memory out on purpose).Holbrook was full of mistakes and out of his depth but Witt was probably more inept. I'll go with you JM and settle on Witt at half.:D

    knights players that got under your skin

    Granted the half-back was the hardest spot to fill- I'll concede and take him out. who should be there then? Maybe one season Matt Rodwell, or maybe there was another guy (not Leo) in the Johns era who stood in when Joe was injured (I got a feeling that his name started with a H but I just cant...

    Heres a team with that "cringe" factor that could drive you to insanity through frustration : 1. O'Davis/ Brian Quintin 2. Justin Ryder 3. Jamie Ainscough 4. George Carmont 5. Tony Herman 6. Sean Rudder 7. Dane Campbell 8. Matt Kennedy 9. Scott Carter 10. 2005 Josh Perry 11. Peter...

    If you could change ONE rule, what would it be?

    The biggest gripe that most of us have I think is inconsistency. If ANY rule is administered with "interpretation" then there is bound to be grief. Having said that,it would be impossible to referee strictly by the book as the game would be a farce. This means that the entire rule book needs to...

    I know who you are thinking of Farva and I think he played for the bears. The Knights Tony Herman was a winger and he had hands like a brick shi*house!

    knights players that got under your skin

    For the older guys on here- what about that Tony Herman on the wing- he had hands like, well, he didnt have any!!He was very fast but couldnt tackle and was less than impressive when it came to catch-pass.He used to frustrate the life out of me.:crazy:

    knights players that got under your skin

    I had a love/hate relationship with Robbie O. He was a very talented and high quality player who did some magnificent things for the Knights, both on and off the field and for QLD. At the same time, he sometimes acted like a real tosser. He would have captianed the NRL team of "Pretty Boys" and...

    On the Looker for a Hooker!

    That might work Alex. The major problem that I see is that Kidley not being a playmaker seems to struggle most when he is called upon to make decisions. I think that is why he has looked a much better player at fullback. Then again he was not put under much real pressure in his last 2 games at...
