They're making Asiata look like Taumalolo

 

[chrisD]

Refs get confident enough to make their own calls when the scores blowout.

 

[Shorty]

That was a weird try I'd think they'd check it.

 

[GongPanther]

I have to admit,Nth Queensland are playing the best football of any side from the past 5 years easily.

They are not only playing a brand of football that is as close to mistake free as you can get,they are playing a high energy,and highly entertaining brand of football that I love.

 

[GongPanther]

WTF is Simms on about?

lol...another try to Cows...

 

[McLovin]

Cowboys let in a try...shit defence. wont make the 8

 

[tomdl]

Thompson pulled his own arm back with his other arm to avoid the potential double movement haha

 

[GongPanther]

42-6 with 19 minutes to go...

Knights need another 1 point scored against them to have -300 points and just half way into the season.

 

[tomdl]

That doesn't deserve a 7 tackle set. That rule needs to be adjusted.

 

[Parra Pride]

The comeback is on!

 

[butchmcdick]

Yeah

Cows really falling off

Will be lucky to hang on

 

[Card Shark]

Haven't played near their best but still won by heaps.

Sad indictment on the Knights if anything, unfortunately.

 

[Shorty]

Granville needs to settle the f**k down.

 

[butchmcdick]

Crongrats Newcastle

-300 points differential and only halfway through the season

Halfway to the 99 Magpies.....can they do it?

 

[Card Shark]

They recovered some +/-

I reckon the 99 magpies were worse

Massive gulf between us and the rest of the teams in the comp.

If you look at the stats we don't make an inordinate number of mistakes, and we always turn up and have a go... We are just very young and not very good.

They were f*king atrocious. I was just saying that the Knights current P/D is half that of the Magpies, so they could challenge.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

The Knights don't need that much to go back to at least being competitive even for next year, at around a Gold Coast Titans level.

Need to look hard at players that are old, and/or overpaid and underperforming. Cut a bit of the untalented deadwood, persist with youngsters who are recognised as good talent. Sign up a decent fullback, hooker and a couple of good forwards, of which there are plenty around for reasonable prices. Perhaps take a punt or two on players that look like rough diamonds or need a lucky break (eg. Coote, Granville).
