2019 R18 Sat - Roosters 48-10 Knights @ SCG

[the seagull]

That second half was an exact repeat of the Titans game- mistakes leading to long range tries, players not covering errors, etc. the Knights need to get back to what worked after the Titans game

 

[Reflector]

Knights previous two weeks were fielding depleted or fatigued sides (48 hours after Origin 3) against teams with a point to prove and virtually no Origin casualties. Tough assignment for their next game to be away against the reigning premiers, who were upset last weekend by the wooden spoon contenders. Knights are a good enough side to make the finals and with some 2013- style fortune and grit they could make the prelim. But I don't see them going further than that. I agree this is (unfortunately) a two-horse race. Souths and Canberra would be welcome upsets, but that's the best we can bank on.

Otherwise it'll be Bellamy's Bellends vs the Chequebook Chooks, and I'll be forced into cheering for the latter because I can't stand the coach or the key players in the other mob.

If only we could have another 2001 or 2005 "feel-good" Grand Final where as a neutral you'd feel good no matter the result...
