    Women in League R10 | Knights 44-8 Bulldogs @ Hunter | Sun 3.00pm

    Wow, what a difference a week makes. Hard to believe they are the same side. Real passion and aggression and that brought the crowd into the game, you could feel the intensity. Everyone was good and Mason, Boyd, Snowy, Mullen and Gids were enormous. Gids was far more measured in his approach...

    McKinnon - A Myth?

    Mate, why are we picking on this bloke, he's 20 and played maybe 30 games, rarely in the same position back to back. You want to point the finger at some blokes, what about: Gids 200 games and really struggles to produce a decent game in the halves. Uate - deadset been going backwards since he...

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    I do think that the fans deserve a little more explanation that Bennett and Gids offer. I know its Bennett's schtick to give reporters nothing, but after a loss of that magnitude, it would have helped to hear the coach and captain be a little more insightful and direct in their language. Right...

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    This nails it. We've been on this trajectory for a few weeks and the Tits were a blip because of their injury toll. I think Boyd makes a conscious decision based on what he thinks the intensity of the team is like, if thinks they aren't having a dig, then he just goes through the motions.

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    It's only worked against teams below us in intensity or suffering injuries. Look at the tigers, Cowboys, pathers and Tits. As soon as a team wants to really come at us, we wilt and wilt bad. I can accept that we'll get beaten by better teams, but the last two weeks have been us not being...

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    Hate to say it but I would start by publicly sorting out the Gids issue, it's not working. No one is bigger than the team. I'd also revisit the roster, it's crap. We need a hooker bad, love Bedsy but getting a dozen games out of the first choice hooker isn't acceptable, punt Waddell. Drop...

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    The reality is that he's a winger that has had the same flaws in his game since he entered grade. He was exposed at origin and hasn't corrected the flaws, probably doesn't think he needs to. Mirror his performance with Ferguson or Hayne, they are stepping up for Origin, he is making sure...

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    I also predict that Bennett won't see out the 4 years, at some point in the not to distant future he is going to put them in the too hard basket. There will be an "issue" that means he needs to return to Brisbane full time and that will be it, he'll then become coaching director at the Broncos...

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    Bennett will be sucking his thumb in the foetal position, they admitted to being off the boil last week so you would have thought that complacency and intensity wouldn't have been an issue. And yet they serve this up. They don't have the mental strength to grind out a game, as soon as the...

    R9 | Raiders 44-14 Knights @ Canberra | Sun 2.00pm

    Utterly predictable result. We couldn't get intensity at home for a game against the Sharks, what hope did we have in Canberra. The raiders have more intensity, passion and enthusiasm, we have a team that not only wont play for Bennett but won't play for each other. Gids 200th game and that's...

    R8 | Knights 20-21* Sharks @ Hunter | Sun 2.00pm

    Absolute minted certainty, there was two to go in the game and they had a chance to close the game out in a final effort. Perfect chance to give everyone a chance to catch their breath for the final effort. Miraculous recovery after a nice rest particularly as they actually signaled for the...

    Some clubs get home town decisions, the refs tonight are blowing crowd penalties at will in the Manly / Saints game.

    Joey played origin and for Australia at 21, will Roberts ever play origin let alone for Australia.

    2014

    There's an article in the SMH (below for link) which outlines the massive recruitment drive that the Saints are on for 2014. It states that the cap goes to 6.3M next season and it got me wondering what we are planning to do. We have a swag of players off contract and I haven't seen us linked to...

    R8 | Knights 20-21* Sharks @ Hunter | Sun 2.00pm

    I also understand the point Bennett is making in pushing the responsibility for yesterdays loss back onto the players but plenty of other coaches would have used the fiasco surrounding Wrights second try as an opportunity to batter the refs into submission in the hope of securing a future...

    The only two who may be able to do that were sitting in the stands.

    R8 | Knights 20-21* Sharks @ Hunter | Sun 2.00pm

    We've got Roberts so halfback is sorted for 2014. I'm surprised that Gids hasn't got with the program, I always felt he was a selfless player when it came to the team but perhaps he's grown accustomed to being the top dog and just can't let go. There will however only be one winner between...

    Can I also add that I wish that De Gois was still on the books, without Bedsy we are really found wanting in the hooking area.

    NSW Cup 2013

    Costigan really didn't stand out in the game, he certainly didnt look like a FGer playing down, Hilder had a great game. There were a couple of monsters in the Knights pack who outplayed Costigan. Will Smith had a good game and the big winger Manatello (?) was very good along with the Matauia...
