'10 | R5 | Sat | Rabbitohs 28-10 Knights | Bluetongue

But shouldn't have been in a position to score after the 'rake' that gave the penalty showed that nobody had touched it and Talanoa just has poor handling.

True.

Dureau's legs taken out after a kick by Merritt, shouldve been a penalty.

 

[Misanthrope]

God, I hate the way six again can be ruled. It should be only available for a blatant grab, not an instinctual reflex when somebody kicks a ball at your face.

 

[kia ora storm]

The Knights have to be one of the unluckiest sides this year...they are playing well in this game but getting no breaks.

IMO if they can score early in the 2nd half then they can still win this.

 

[Apey]

That last try really hurt, 6 - 4 would have been a better indication of the first half for mine.

We're still in it, I guess that's a positive.

 

[Misanthrope]

Pearce said it best at half time on FoxSports. We just don't look like converting our possession and field position into points. Dureau and Mullen have both looked sharp without being particularly menacing, and it's not realistic to expect Sau and Uate to just create things on their own.

With the exceptions of Cross and Tui, not many of our pack are hitting it up with the ferocity I'd like.

 

[user_nat]

Can't believe the odds on the Knights currently. Souths in at 1.17, Knights 5.7.

They are only 8 behind.

 

[Misanthrope]

Have you seen our second half performances in 2010?

4-16
0-14
6-12
6-28

 

[andrew057]

Dureau done for the night. Asotasi not back and Burgess limping.

 

[Misanthrope]

Christ, we're getting a raw deal from the referee. Another sloppy Souths player is rewarded with a penalty against us for raking.

Aside - All of the good spiral bombs in the world from Mullen are worthless if nobody pressures the fullback.

 

[user_nat]

Silly penalty.

 

[Jono078]

f**k the last 2 penalties against us, weak as.

EDIT: Justice, IMO.

 

[Misanthrope]

No discipline. No enthusiasm. No pride.

 

[Misanthrope]

UATE! There's the man with two out of three!

 

[Jono078]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuate

 

[andrew057]

Try Uate.

 

[user_nat]

Gee.. where were the Souths players.

 

[Dragon]

Jeez the ruck penalties are a mystery to me these day. If ever there is a good kick that pins the opp. in their ten, the refs seem to always give a relieving penalty to the team with the ball.. no reward for the dominant defensive team. Its almost as if the refs thinik 'sh*t, they aren't going to make it past the 20 on the 5th, better help them out'

Anyway good try knights

 

[pantherz9103]

Souths blew it with bombing a certain try before, now they're ahead by only 2. Every things gone their way but they are not taking advantage.

 

[andrew057]

Knights all the possession. Need to convert here.

 

[andrew057]

Burgess pulls Patersons hand off the ball and he drops it.
