    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    We deserve to lose. Played the whole second half like we didn’t have a clue how to start again at 0-0 in our heads. We don’t come out breathing fire when we’re ahead, it’s predictable. The half time message needs to change.

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    We are literally getting negative results from our last play options. It’s so frustrating. And our defence is under pressure, you can feel it. If we don’t score again I think we lose.

    This is ordinary stuff. No urgency or attention to detail in the second half. Again. If we don’t get into gear we will be run down.

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    I only partially agree. KPP and Frizell could be targets at least. Get in there and make a contest no matter what. Or force a mistake from pressure. All we do is give the opposition the ball, then usually concede a penalty from how quickly we lose the ruck.

    Nobody ever supporting KPP. Not once. How is this not already made clear to the whole team.

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    We are bad after half time. Hard to know what is said at the break, but going off the reports in the coverage the coach tends to tell them he’s happy if we’re in front. I would much rather hear we were addressing the level of play not based on the scoreline. Because we don’t come out firing. We...

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    And of course they score from a contested kick. I mean it’s a tactic you can use in rugby league, just not if you play for the Newcastle Knights apparently.

    Seriously, these ‘attacking’ kicks. WHY!? We literally hand over the ball and all momentum. I am never going to understand it.

    Suddenly feeling worried. It’s a curse.

    When you see that result for the Storm from making a high kick a contest, it’s so hard to understand why we don’t do the same. Those chip bombs must have a success rate of about 1 percent over 20 years for us. The execution is always so poor, would be better off just booting it for max air time.

    Is Elliot our best half?

    Great commitment from Gags. He just wanted it and gave it everything without hesitation. There wasn’t much happening but we needed to score and we did.

    Cogger is trying way too hard. Not even running for any reason other than pre determined. It’s hard to watch us right now. There is basically no attacking structure or impetus whatsoever.

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Kicking game is abysmal. And our outside backs are getting absolutely manhandled trying to make metres. That was a big strength last season, but this season it appears a huge weakness. Our forward pack is not dominant, we relied on having the best yardage wingers in the game to build momentum...

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    It was obvious in advance we had lost the game in the first half by not putting them away. Ponga’s little ‘interview’ running of the field confirmed as much, I expected him to be a little luke warm on the performance so far but he was delighted (because 12 point lead). If that was the attitude...

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    This is beyond ordinary. If we don’t make them pay here we are done. I’m not sure what to make of this, it actually gives me grave concerns for the season. We have nothing in attack, and Ponga is being handled.

    Match Discussion: Round 2 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

    This toothless attack is obviously going to cost us the game later on. What are they doing inside the 20? Clueless. And don’t get me started on the short kicking game, abysmal. Anything less than a 12 point lead at half time and we are cooked .

    Losing Young has a much bigger impact than just the try scoring ability (which did also win games we would have lost last season and is a massive blow itself). But he was also consistently turning poor/mediocre sets into good ones with incredible surging runs picking up 15 metres or more, he...

    Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    The big concern is that the second half was worse than the first. We started off dropping so much ball but you felt our class could still get us back into the game. But then it actually got worse, we made less errors but were genuinely outplayed. We didn't have anything in attack at all, we were...

    Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Talk up their winning streak without mentioning how badly they got blown off the park by a more committed team in the finals, having already been taken to the wire by this week's opponent the week before?
