LOLOLOLO

 

[Willie Ray]

Doggies deserved it, were the better team in that 2nd half. Newy switched off and didn't look interested in playing again until dogs went ahead.

Gavet should get the Private Pyle treatment tonight

excellent...I'm still laughing....

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Damn it! I wanted a knights try and then 87 failed field goals

Thankfully IVF didn't work for you......

 

[Zadar]

Only 1m?

If you're gonna exaggerate at least go hardcore and say 1.5m.

Crichton is an upgrade. That's all that matters.

Angus for 700k is still losing big time unfortunately.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol wow. How the f**k did we lose to these shitmerkins?

Like everyone else they saved their best effort of the season for us because they view the Roosters as Gods.

They also had secret agent Brock Lamb working on the inside.

 

[GongPanther]

Damn it! I wanted a knights try and then 87 failed field goals

Would have taken us right up to tomorrow's 3:00 p.m. kick-off.

 

[shear_joy9]

Massive 8 runs for 60m from saifiti

 

[Apey]

Gavet is a massive dud. Our attack will look tons better with Ponga back.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Massive 8 runs for 60m from saifiti

Better than Payne Haas apparently, whose 20 odd runs and 200m per game clearly doesn't live up to Saifit's output.

 

[Vic Mackey]

The 6 for the Dogs looks real good, will make it even funnier when Pay drops him for Foran next week

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Beware the dogs of WAR

 

[Sphagnum]

lmfao we're winning games all of a sudden

Get Brisbane to the bottom ffs

 

[mozza91]

Well done Bulldogs you absolutely deserved that one. Your on the right track and playing with real commitment. Best luck with the rest of your season, you deserve some wins.

 

[JamesRustle]

21 runs from Pearce apparently. That can't be right

More than Stoinis and Maxwell combined

 

[JB04]

Only 1m?

If you're gonna exaggerate at least go hardcore and say 1.5m.

Crichton is an upgrade. That's all that matters.

 

[Hutty1986]

Thaiday. So hilarious!!!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Only 1m?

Crichton is an upgrade. That's all that matters.

Should have got a discount when he chopped that finger off

 

[Reflector]

Bulldogs are a team with grit and reasonably good defence for their ladder position, but their attack is awful and one-dimensional, relying mainly on the offload to create chances. The last two weeks they've played higher ranked teams with players out for Origin or backing up from Origin, which has been in their favour no doubt. Saying that, Knights clearly are missing Ponga atm. Their Origin players should be given a few days rest before next weeks' big game where they need to beat the Roosters or at least give them a real contest to instill belief heading into the back half of the season. They're a side who on their day are definitely worthy of playing finals football, but they poor decisions at key moments cost them. Last night they could've taken 2, even 3 penalty goals but instead chose to take the tap and try to run away with the game and those extra goals could've just got them home in the end. The Storm would've done the former, and the Knights need to get used to playing patiently even against teams on paper who they should easily account for.

In the run home the Knights tough games start with the Roosters next weekend, Manly at Brookvale and then the Panthers in Penrith on the last day (provided they're in the running for finals still). They've got the team to finish bottom half of the 8, but they need to refresh and do the basic things right again.
