09 R3 :: Sun :: Rabbitohs 22 Knights 12 @ Bluetongue

[skeepe]

Woeful half of football overall. Reminds me of the raiders vs roosters game last week.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Souths are the new butchers of the NRL :lol:

 

[aussies1st]

Souths doing a Raiders, lots of possession nothing to show for it.

 

[skeepe]

Chris Sandow deadset looked like he'd given up at the end of that half. No urgency to get the game going after the penalty, and no urgency to get in position to guide the team around either.

Add to that how dirty he's playing and I'm honestly surprised that this is the same player who ripped the Roosters to shreds just two Sundays ago. Luke Capewell is an accident waiting to happen, and a few more well-placed bombs from Dureau - who looks a real talent - and I think we'll see that in the second half.

Souths forwards have no impact, it looks as though they've played this game in their minds before they got out there and believed it was going to be a walkover. Whilst Taylor will no doubt give them a ribbing at half time, I'm not sure they have it in them to come back, even from 8-0 down.

The Knights on the other hand, well more of the same should see them run away with this one by somewhere between 24-30 points, IMO.

Most notable statistic of the first half: Souths have already used 5 interchanges. On a hot day like today, that's just dumb coaching. They'll tire badly at the end of the second half, and that's when the majority of the Knights points will be scored.

Been pretty much the story of the round. The second and third game last night were absolutely shocking.

Watch out Karma, Newcastle's biggest hater rates the bloke :lol:

Solid 1st half from us.

We got maybe a bit too confident though and weren't playing with patience towards the end.

Hopefully we can keep it up.

 

[skeepe]

That may be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen by Beau Champion. Right in front of the touchy too.

 

[skeepe]

Souths must be real close to having a player binned. Gee that wasn't a knock on.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Foot has been taken right off the peddle now

Wabbits have shown much more enthusiasm in the 2nd half

 

[Fairfax]

Outside backs in front of the kicker leads to dropout and try. Bad call cost Newcastle big time.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Sandow has been shown up as a myth today but Luke is the real deal.

Well. Epic fail for my game analysis :lol:

That game was lost when Dureau went off. Boneheaded decision by Smith.

 

[Dutchy]

LOL Smith took Dureau off?

What the f**k!

ffs , the kids only 20 years old.

plenty to learn yet.

Considering he was touted as the Dally M winner after Rd 1, I think calling that out as a myth is well justified

 

[skeepe]

Knights for the spoon.

Who said he was going to be the Dally M winner, the press who got all excited after Round 1?

He has played less than 20 First Grade games, so lets see how he goes after a full season before writing him off.

There was a whole friggin thread on it after rd 1 with plenty of posters jizzing their pants over the prospect.

The Raiders still have to win a game first:lol:
