Newcastle for the upset.

Why would that be an upset? IMO Knights are favourites.

Knights were paying $2.15 to start the game so they were outsiders.

Can't say im too upset that they are going to lose though. Sucked in silent knight

Looks like even Wayne Bennett can't turn a squad this mediocre into an elite team.

Wayne Bennett coaches the most boring footy sides.. So glad we got Maguire instead.

how gus can blow up about there being a knock on in the lead up to the mullen try is beyond me, the roosters layer hit hilders arm which resulted in the ball falling out forward

 

[Horrie Is God]

Mitchell Pearce is starting to become a very dominant half back..

He's been constantly improving this season,& even in those games where we've been smashed he's still been one of our better players..His performance in a beaten side on Anzac Day was outstanding..

Maubs keeps doing the job for us too..He's very under rated IMO..

That game helps our for & against nicely..

Go Easts..

Errrr... that means it's a knock on.

knights were terrible but congrats to the Roosters. There pack played well today which surprised me a little because I thought there young pack might struggle backing up from Anzac day but congrats on the win. A lot of work for Bennett here at Newcastle a good start would be taking an axe to that forward pack i.e.Edwards,Costigan,Hilder and Fas for starters. Thank god we got Scott for next year but really need at least another prop.

So how did the pre-season premiership favourites go?

They were a better team last year then they are this year.

What is wrong with Darius Boyd??
He looks like a shadow of his former self.
Deadset has been rubbish since singing with Newcastle.

He stopped throwing forward passes.

 

[user_nat]

He stopped throwing forward passes.

Didn't he get one called up this game?

Or it went over the sideline or something.

 

[mongoose]

Roosters are a very entertaining side to watch when they are on song. On the other hand they can be like watching a train wreck when they are off.

 

[northwest9]

Kade slowman, is he the most over rated plodder in the game? Now he doesn't have sticky to protect him, he certainly has been found out.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Drugcastle should have been kept scoreless, disgraceful decision to allow play on after a clear knockon

 

[adamkungl]

Darius :lol: Footy's harder when the refs call you up on forward passes.

 

[Monk]

Always good to have a win like that.

The only thing that worries me, is with Mini playing this well, he might get a Blues callup.

 

[nqcowboy87]

Errrr... that means it's a knock on.

yeh but the marker was the eason it happened it wasnt hilders fault
