2019 R14 Sat - Storm 34-4 Knights @ AAMI

[Mr Spock!]

Looking at the players milling around there like they're standing around at a family bbq

Why not?

It's not like they have passion for the Jersey.

They could be in a different club in a week.

 

[Tommy Smith]

So this is what happens when Newcastle face a team not missing their star players.

 

[TheFrog]

If you listen very carefully you can hear the balloon pop

You're right, I can hear it. The Knights lost tonight too.

 

[BranVan3000]

Eh, your forward pack was still at full strength and that’s where we beat you.

The Knights were always going to have a bad game and lose one eventually so hardly unsurprising it came against the the Storm. We’re just not at their level, especially without Klemmer. If anything might be good for them, as shows them they still have a lot of work to do to get to the Storms level. I’d have to worry what would happen to the Knights players attitude if they took down the Roosters, Souths and Storm in consecutive weeks.

Knights pack played well but the game ended even on possession and meters. Souths struggled badly in the halves and fullback with a 2 game rookie at five eight, a guy coming off an ACL and a rookie fullback who has struggled to inject himself in attack. Opportunities weren’t turned into results. It’s naive to think that didnt influence the result

Same goes for Roosters

There was an element of frustration in both teams as well. Both from Knights pack showing up but also their spines being unable to produce

 

[GongPanther]

Have you heard some of Braiths lines? No normal person is writing them, it's all his own stuff.

He certainly is an A class dribbler.

So this is what happens when Newcastle face a team not missing their star players.

Maybe don't be arrogant and rest your star halfback then

 

[TheFrog]

So this is what happens when Newcastle face a team not missing their star players.

Making excuses when losing by 26 points. Lame excuses at that.

 

[BranVan3000]

I got accosted by one of them yesterday. He was the quintessential Victorian, rhyming slang and all. He kept telling me he was a farmer for some reason.

Was probably hitting on you bro

 

[t-ba]

Was probably hitting on you bro

A Butt farmer?

Just plant your seed in there and watch it grow.

Lol still with the excuses. It’s not like the Knights were at full strength, far from it. Maybe just worry about your own team.

 

[Valheru]

You're right, I can hear it. The Knights lost tonight too.

Not sure what the implication is here?

You're a clever bloke, you'll work it out.

 

[Apey]

Roosters and Souths fans sure are salty about losing to a lowly side such as the Knights.

And we were missing Ponga and Klemmer, arguably 2/3 our best players, and you're trying to pretend like Souths was the only team missing players.

Roosters you could make an argument for (well, except they rested Cronk out of arrogance and paid the price for it) but no sorry Souths just got beaten by a better team on the day.

 

[Apey]

Anyway we got shown up by the best team in the comp tonight. Our completion rate was 58% after having 80+% for the season going into this match and if you're going to toss that shit up against the Storm you deserve to get 30+ put on you tbqh.

 

[Silent Knight]

Yeah how dare we beat them. Shouldn't we know our place and respect our betters?
