    Paul Harragon warns Wayne Bennett’s axe hovering over Knights

    Yeah my sentiments as well. I was glad when he came back from injury as i wanted to see him play, but his poor form isnt limited to his 1st grade game against the raiders its been happening every week in nsw cup. He just seems to be lacking the simple things like one on one defence, errors in...

    Paul Harragon warns Wayne Bennett’s axe hovering over Knights

    why wasnt peter mata utai included in that second teir group of players free to test the market. I think he should go well before kevin or wes.

    yeah footinmouth. Ive seen Anderson play a few times have been impressed with his impact and intensity. Also i rate Mate a lot higher than the winger who took his spot and some of the other contracted players, i.e sau and mata-utia. Pity these two guys arent getting more game time as they...

    oh k, i just asked someone at the ground and they told me he was playing for cessnock this year but that he was originally from wyong and mates with the coach. Anyhows he was ordinary like the rest of them. Not sure whats happened to the normal winger or if wes was meant to be on the wing.

    Yeah voltron it was painful to watch. Some very poor performances. The new winger id never seen before but he was dreadful. He was from wyong so it seems that being from wyong is a gold pass into the team these days, with the coach being from there. Anyway the likes of sau, mata-utai, naquiama...

    Saw the game, was a tough slog in the mud. Players that went well. Halfback- Davis went well made a good break to setup a try. Wingers - Mantellato scored 2 tries went well. - Mate came in for wes. Went really well scored a try made plenty of hitups and solid in...

    NSW cup side

    Yep footinmouth ive been saying it all year that the second rowers are clogging up the backline in nsw cup, not a free flowing backline movement to be seen. I think the coaching staff needs a review as do some seemingly automatic selections that are obviously not working. I dont expect many of...

    Your team v titans

    I saw the game whistler and your spot on. Wes and kelly were shocking in defence. Behind the ruck defence was terrible and the forwards were dominated badly, Only highlight was the brief aerial acrobatics of the winger to score.

    Tooheys column in todays Sunday Telegraph

    Thats correct footin mouth, and from what ive seen Likiliki hasnt really set up his outside men but scores his tries by dummying to the winger and going himself carrying players over the line, even if his winger is unmarked. the ball very rarely gets past fillipo and likiliki to the winger. Mate...

    Top 17 you least expected to see in 2012

    from what ive seen in nsw cup this year i think Michael Mate would be better than likiliki or mata-utai in 1st grade. Pity he doesnt have a 1st grade contract though.

    Boyd

    yeh i second that, we only need 1 gidley. He provides lots of enthusiasm and energy and can fill in admirably anywhere on the field but he is not really a specialist playmaker, more an opportunist that can strike from broken play. Alot of people call him the crab for his cross field running &...

    yeah i saw the game as well and was good to see the backline in operation with some room to move. Naqaima was sharp and looked good. I think pete matautai needs more match fitness as he did look a little slow at times but to be expected having just come back. Was great to see the winger Mate get...

    NSW cup side

    likiliki and filipo are topping the missed tackle stats so far for the nsw cup side. Filipo is a strong runner but not really a ball player. Im my opinion he should be used as a hitup and run over the top of a tired defender type player, rather than hanging out in the centres like a frank...

    NSW cup side

    From where I was sitting the fullback was by far our best player. On two occasions likilki missed simple One on one tackles that led directly to tries. Filipo stifles the backline as he stands inside the centre and refuses to pass the ball to his outside backs. On 3 occasions they had an overlap...

    NSW cup side

    Yeah foot in mouth i saw the game as well. Sau had about 5 hitups, dropped the ball twice and was driven backwards in most others. Mate and Likiliki looked far stronger and made at least 10 metres each hit up.I guess sau deserves to be given chances to prove himself in 1st grade again, but he is...

    NSW cup side

    Sau was 23 and Mate was 5 on the wing outside likiliki. Likiliki is strong just i think needs to use the wingers more. Notice the second try to the knights, it is a backline movement from right to left and likiliki dummies to an ummarked winger and goes himself and run into 3 defenders. he still...

    well stig was better than the existing halves but i wouldnt exactly say he cut it up on sat. The tries were more due to poor defence from wentworthville rather then brilliance from our halves.

    Windsor 2012

    It was stated earlier in the thread that Michael Mate has signed with Windsor. In fact he has signed with Newcastle knights. Going great by all reports.

    NSW cup side

    Saw the game and although they didn't play brilliantly they still won easily. Stig came on and look great. Kyle O'Donnel was good. our right side winger was unmarked most of the game but we still could not get him the ball through a back line movement. The second rowers need to learn that they...
