[Shorty]

No both were pretty quiet because they hadn't had that much time to gel and both had to swallow their pride for various things.
Thurston had to shift to accommodate Prince and Prince looked more of the second receiver of the two.
I think in game III we will see a more dominant outfit because both have had time to get used to each other a bit more.

But Thurston still played pretty well,he had offloads and combined well with Hunt to get Inglis into space and kicked well.
He sure as hell didn't play bad,nobody really in that outfit played bad.

Yes Thurston's form at club level is pretty disappointing,but all of our players are not lifting their weight,so it's an internal thing at the club.
Like all players,he's in crap form but that doesn't mean he can't bounce back either...

Is Chris Shepphard that fella who played for the Dragons for a bit?

Yep.

 

[KniGhTs BaTTLeR]

Yep.

Damn. Was he the bloke who was halfback when NQ made the GF in 05? Or was that Brett Firman?

That was Firman.

 

[jc155776]

That was Firman.

Chris Shepard led the halves in 04 to the semis

Chris Shepard led the halves in 04 to the semis

I thought our halves were David Myles and Nathan Fien?

Shep was our first choice halfback at the start of the year but he was injured v the bulldogs. We were winning with Fien so Shep didn't make it back into the team.

 

[African Monkey]

Farrar scores. Cowboys 4-0. Thurston misses the conversion.

Yeah Fien and Myles were the halves during the finals series.

 

[African Monkey]

Houston scores. Gidley converts Knights 6-4.

 

[Knights_Premiers]

Both sides unable to execute, if I were watching this without any information about this season it would be easy to see where these sides are on the ladder.

 

[Bazal]

Well that was a geniused call....not that it matters in the end, Hilder is over

 

[African Monkey]

Gidley converts. Knights 12-4.

 

[African Monkey]

H/T Knights 12-4.

 

[Apey]

Lol Buderus held up? Say wut? Looked like he got it down to me, quicker than Farrar did actually :lol: Ah well, lucky we scored in the next set.

f**k our team is flat footed. Sometimes when there are a few passes strung together some guys are just standing there as if thinking "Who me?"... need to wrap up the ball a lot better too. Buderus and Royal two noticeable stand outs so far.

 

[Shorty]

Looks like we'll be fighting Souths for the spoon I think.

 

[Knights_Premiers]

It's getting so annoying when we can never put teams away. We create opportunities but we hardly ever finish them. Need to start putting teams to the sword.

 

[Pumba]

WHAT A TRY!

Great run & offload from Faas!

Bedsy is having a cracker aswell.

 

[Ziggy the God]

That was a great team try.

 

[Pumba]

Kurt Gidley Try & Coverted 18-4.
