    Meaney is going to make Wighton looks like prime Mal Meninga this game

    2024 R8 Thu - Melbourne 54-20 South Sydney @ AAMI

    Meaney cannot defend in the centres, he’s a fullback or nothing

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

    100%, NSW cup got pumped by 50 as well so unfortunately there’s not exactly a lot of guys kicking the door down to get a run

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

    There are dozens of instances where you see us getting absolutely carved up through the middle over the years and D Saf is just jogging along in the background like an easy Monday morning recovery cardio sess

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

    All the enthusiasm from last year has well and truly gone, I could accept if we’re losing due to lack of skill or experience but for the most part we’re getting done in the effort areas, all the guys once again look extra comfortable and don’t look like they want to get out of 2nd gear

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Elliott hasn’t been that bad, he’s an average starting lock and his pay paid at that sort of level, id say he’s performing as advertised when we signed him, Hethrington has always been more of an impact player who brings aggression (and bone headed plays), we definitely overpaid for him but we...

    Really good get, has the right mix of size, speed and tough carries.

    Warwick has backed up his shocker from last week with an equally bad performance

    Poor Nick Meaney has recaptured his old bulldogs form

    Knights Lower Grade Stuff

    NSW cup came back from 24-0 to jag a win, apparently Gamble had a good games. There a young kiwi edge backrower named Elijah salesa Ieaumoana who played SG Ball last year who looks like really good.

    Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Sydney @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Yep, Lucas is a goer but he’s on the smaller side for an edge backrower which is handy in attack as he’s very mobile but just hasn’t got beef to be an effective defender in contact at this stage, when you put him next to Cogger who has zero physicality about him it just invites opposition to...

    Not having adequate talent is one thing but IMO what is letting us down even more is losing in the effort areas like line speed, kick chase and support play.

    Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Sydney @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    great point, it’s disappointing that given the reputation of the town being battlers and passionate we’re unfortunately losing in the effort areas, at the end there Jacko admittedly puts up a nothing high kick that Suualii catches 10m out from his own line, the kick chase on that kick was non...

    Ponga Appreciation Thread.

    I’d rather pay an extra mil to Ponga than pay D Saf whatever he’s on, bloke has gone from arguably the best prop in the state to 3rd best at the knights

    Ponga Appreciation Thread.

    Honestly he’s that much better than anyone else in the team it’s almost like a first grader playing with park footballers. He was clearly hurt tonight and still by far and away our best and threatening player to the point where he’s making line breaks from beating 2 or 3 defenders on his own and...

    Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Sydney @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Lucas is a handy player but is definitely on the smaller side for an edge backrower, you line him up next to Cogger and it’s like a dream scenario for any ball runner, especially when the guys outside them are Gags and Marzhew

    Peter O’Sullivan, always did his best work with unlimited salary cap at his disposal. He was at the storm during the whole salary cap rorting period, joined the roosters before getting indefinite banned for a few years due to some dodgy dealings with a certain brothel owner

    Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Sydney @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Speed is only one aspect, there’s a real lack of desire. Last year we saw a guy like Gamble who isn’t exactly Usain Bolt score/set up a number of tries just by not quitting on a play. If you watch Cogger, he’ll pass the ball and he’s almost running backwards to get ready for the next play. I...
