Really hope Melbourne finish it off here. A 4 point gap between the top 8 and bottom 8 would be massive at this stage of the year

Come on Storm

65 min: Knights error at the play-the-ball by Travis Waddell. Storm scrum on halfway.

How does this happen when you're as slow as he is?

How many teams in the eight have had a bye so far? Not much of a four point gap if the Knights have four points worth of byes in the next month...

That Waddell dropped ball really cost the Knights. I'm trying hard to feel sorry for them, because I know exactly what it's like to get f**ked over by Waddell, but... it's not working.

Bennett - hang your head in shame. That game could have been won without your cowardly, God awful selections and negative tactics. How do you justify Travis Waddell's continued presence in the team when week after week he delivers slow, sloppy service and makes rookie mistakes?

How do you f**k up an un-contested play the ball? Ask Trav!

Deadset, the mystique has worn off. We could have and should have won in a game against a weakened and out of sorts Melbourne but we continued our trend of getting out to a lead, surrendering it, and being utterly toothless in the second half.

I feel bad for Jarrod Mullen. He tried his hardest but the setup is wrong and some of the guys out there would be hard pressed to make an English Super League side. Waddell and Houston are absolute myths.

Except those teams will likely have expectations of beating most football teams, especially on home turf

Doesnt matter which way you slice it, 4 point gap is a 2 week buffer on every other team in the comp. 6 points to 11th position too.
Especially with the sides on the outside looking less and less capable... Knights, Penrith, Dragons, Warriors... please. You excuse me if im not looking over the Raiders shoulders

The fact the Raiders are in the eight is an argument for reducing it to a top six.

Looks like another bad season for Newcastle under Bennett

Howd Gower go, anyone??

He looked solid. A definite improvement on Waddell. Put in a few promising balls. I reckon he'll prove a decent purchase - especially with Roberts disappearing again today.

I don't know where all this negativity is coming from but the Knights played really well... If that was any other team they most probably would have won.

teehee
we're only a point outside the top 4, with a swag of home games (where we are currently on a 10 game winning streak, which i believe is the longest active streak) to end the year.

The knights on the other hand are 1 win from their last 6 weeks. Amazing what happens when you start playing good sides, the only reason the knights were ever in the top 8 this year was thanks to soft serve start to the draw... now they have to play real football teams and they are getting found out.

Their problem isnt the coach, it's a complete lack of talent and ability within the squad. It's an awful team.
