    Am I the only one who seeing this pattern here?

    I've read a lot on here regarding the knights salary cap woes and the lack of quality we have to show for it. Something I've noticed on here is that hindsight is 20/20 vision. People complain about the players we re-signed, however people on here have very rarely been outraged or overly critical...

    Short passes

    Why don't the knights do it more? There was an attacking raid that the Knights did yesterday and it looked really dangerous and all it was involved players committing 1 or 2 defenders before doing a short pass, before that player committing a couple of players and doing a short pass followed by...

    Knights - then compared to now

    I am currently in the process of converting a heap of old Knights tapes to DVD and it has been a good experience. One of the reasons is that it allows me to see the contrast between how we played then compared to now. One of the main things I've noticed in the early 00's is how much more hustle...

    Which players to bid farewell to?

    I keep hearing on here that the club needs to cut a lot of players to fix the culture and on field performance, but who would you actually cut? There are plenty of players within the team that could still turn things around and become good players next year. For mine the players that I would...

    Tech question regarding converting NRL games from an IPAD to a SMART TV

    First of all, I recommend that people consider investing in the app which works out at only $5 per week. I had it last year and this year and it's great to be able to watch games from home without having to pay for a foxtel subscription. The question that I would hopefully like answered is...

    Joel Reddy

    Can someone please explain to me what different coaches are seeing that I'm not seeing? To me he has always seemed like someone who isn't up to fg standard. Even after playing for three clubs, I still haven't seen anything that tells me he is going to retire on his terms, before he is thrown...

    A bit of perspective

    I've read a number of times on here people bagging out Bennett and complimenting Stone. Whilst Stone did reasonably well with a poor team on paper, if it wasn't for Bennett coming here, then we wouldn't have the playing personnel that we have now. IMO this is the best knights team on paper...

    Injuries. What if?

    I was thinking to myself earlier, what would happen if Gagai or Leilua were injured? Can anyone actually name me a centre replacement for them? I know we have Tahu, but he's had an ACL and will prob take some weeks to hit his straps once he comes back. What would happen if Boyd became injured...

    who is the smallest player over the last 20 years?

    I don't want to derail this thread, but I reckon a good question would be, who is the smallest player over the last 20 years? Toovey would have to be up there.

    Best starting 17 of 2014

    Who would you pick? With the team we have, in particular the forwards, it's not an easy choice. Personally I'd go: 1. Boyd 2. Uate 3. Gagai 4. BJ 5. Mcmanus 6. Mullen 7. Roberts 8. Snowden 9. Gidley 10. Mason 11. Rochow 12. Scott 13. Smith 14. Clydsdale 15. Mckinnon 16. Fa'alogo 17...

    Journeymen

    Apologies if this thread has been done before, however I'm curious which players have been the true journeymen of our great game. Names that come to mind are Gary Freemen, Brett Kimmorley, Richie Fa'aoso and Arana taumata. I'm keen to find out how many different clubs some players played for...

    The top 5 most influential players

    Earlier I was pondering who in 2013 is and will be the most critical players to the knights success. By this I mean if there was a loss of form to an individual, which players would have the greatest impact on the teams success. My top 5 would be: 1) Jarred Mullen - Vital kicking game...

    Brian Smith - It's time to reflect

    In 2007 Brian Smith began his coaching career with the Knights and he had the difficult task of setting the knights up for success without a soon to be retired Andrew Johns. The questions that needs to be asked is, was his clean out of players beneficial for the club 6 years on? Phil Gould made...

    5 year contracts - Which players fit the criteria

    I was discussing the topic of 5 year contracts with a friend the other day. It's my belief that they inhibit a team more then they benefit a team. My reason being that once the 5 year contract is signed, the player falls into a comfort zone and the club pays for mediocrity. All you have to do is...

    Thoughts on the players that are leaving

    The Knights have offloaded a fair few players for 2013. Usually when a club does this there are players that supporters are happy to see the back of, but there are others that supporters wish the coach retained. Out of the players leaving, do you feel that the coach should have retained any of...

    Junior Sau

    I was reading the Newcastle Herald today and it listed some of the stats from Sau this year. It was listed that he is making around 90 metres per game which is a decent effort. It also listed his passes and offloads. Guess how many offloads he has done in 2012?...................Zero. Guess how...

    Rugby league and its impact on a players body post retirement

    This is a thread that I put up on the knights forum, but I was interested in the information i'd receive from the NRL section. There is no doubting the brutality of rugby league and its impact on a players body over their careers. I was just wondering who on here knows of ex knights players...

    Rugby League and its impact on a players body

    There is no doubting the brutality of rugby league and its impact on a players body over their careers. I was just wondering who on here knows of ex knights players and how their bodies are fairing after retiring? Watching the NIB ad that is now on TV, i gain the impression that Paul Harragon...

    Who do you rate as the biggest loss?

    The knights have lost a few big names over the years, however who do you rate as the player that went on to dominate for their new club the most? I can't go past Paul Rauhihi. I was shattered when he left and then he went on to become one of the best props in the country. Ben Kennedy hurt also...
