Glad I tipped the Broncos

 

[Matt23]

28-12, Gidley under the posts

 

[Matt23]

Patterson scores again...28-18, kick to come, conversion missed, Knights would be within 4, if not for missed conversions.

 

[Mr Saab]

Reminds me of the 2000 game when the Broncos let by a 1000 @ halftime and they lost.

 

[Misanthrope]

Today reminded me of the Knights of past years, with soft 50m tries and errors on the back of attacking raids.

Dissapointing stuff.

Fought hard to come back, but we cant keep doing that to ourselves.

 

[Apey]

f**king woeful effort. We defended awesome at times and then defended like the 71 - 6 game the next minute, so pissed off.

We need to get someone else taking our kicks, if we had somehow kicked all of those, it would have been 34 - 30 ;\

I don't know what we would do without Kurt Gidley either, ffs him and Danny are trying their hearts out.

 

[Apey]

nice crowd at least though, 21,600... looked f**king packed as well when we got in there

 

[Matt23]

Me thinks Naiqama should first string goal kicker from now on

 

[Apey]

f**k we scored the same amount of tries

Gidley! Let someone else kick!

 

[Chook Norris]

f**k we scored the same amount of tries

Gidley! Let someone else kick!

>_<

that must really hurt :shock:

The Bias channel 9 commentary was going a little over the top. Talking up the knights ridiculously got old very quickly yet they continued talking them up till the final siren. Of course they looked flashy and dangerous.....that's what happens when you spread the ball on every tackle. They were trying low percentage plays because they were behind and the Broncos played a solid one up game.

Also a beautiful try and solid game for Karmichael Hunt will hopefully be recognised by the Test selectors although the way all the commentators have been hyping up Slater you would think it's a foregone conclusion.

slater is far and above the form player in the competition at this point in time, and if the selectors are fair dinkum he has done enough to earn himself a test jersey.

having said that - there's still a few weeks to go before selections are made yet.

I love to watch Brians game plans when he comes up against Wayne Bennet.
Today's could have payed off if they had some better ball control.
