2022 R7 Sun - Newcastle 2-39 Parramatta @ McDonald Jones

[Diesel]

Solid performance by the Eels. If they can take out performances like last weekend when they thought they could just turn up, they’ll go a long way

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Welp, I would be asking for a refund if I were one of those poor bastards that turned up to watch that shit. Newcastle have serious problems.

 

[Showtime]

We let the tigpies score 4 try’s but can’t let the knights score 1

In your defence, the Tigs are a better side than Poocastle. The dogs will win a premiership before the knights.

Theyre gunna have them for the next 5 years

 

[hineyrulz]

Spooncastle.

I don't know how anyone can watch Newcastle this season and realistically think "Ponga is the problem".
I think Ponga is overrated, but Newcastle's problems aren't because of him.

I think the main problem with Ponga is his cap value. But the main issue with the side is the squad around him.

He's a bit of a fader but when his pack consistently doesn't turn up you can't blame him for Newy losing. You might get the match winning play in a close game but it's impossible to win a game by yourself from the back when the difference is 37 points.

The downhill skiier did ski downhill well today.
"You" didn't let the tigpies do anything.
The tigpies did what they wanted with you.
Thanks for moving us up a place on the ladder.
Now before you go can you please confirm that you are in fact a Weststigers supporter ?
A lot of your Parra mates seem to think so . . . .

 

[Wizardman]

I still think the Tigers will get the spoon....but my goodness teams like the Dogs, Titans and Knights have been worse. The effort from the Knights today was horrid. The worst thing that could have happened to them was Ponga staying long term on big money. Not necessarily for Ponga himself (it plays a part though) but moreso restrains the Knights in regards to finding Ponga some help from good players. They are facing some lean years.

Spooncastle

they will have some competition from Spoonberra and Spoonterbury

 

[Leaguenutter]

Ponga doesn’t put himself in the right position, half the time he’s running one out straight off the ruck

@Vic Mackey (I think it was) might confirm whose alt Rhynob is? If you're lucky.

 

[skeepe]

When one player is paid 1/9th of the salary cap, based on future potential, you know you’re in the shit

He’s already 24. For a player that showed the kind of potential he did coming through, he should be way ahead of where he is now.

I reckon he’s William Zillman 2.0

 

[Sphagnum]

The attitude at the knights is f**ken atrocious. Got behind and gave up. Big problems there.

That is f**ken harsh man

He has definitely regressed from when he first joined the Knights.

 

[Frailty]

I don't know if it's an attitude thing - they look like a team that has no confidence because everything they do is ineffective. Their attack is aimless and doesn't seem to have any direction.

They need to build through their defence as a starting point, but they aren't effective because their line speed and first contact is awful. They're constantly on the back foot and this is what they end up playing like.

Disagree

On talent Ponga should be a top 5 player in the game. It’s all about his attitude, the bloke seems like he doesn’t care and footy is a very low priority in his life. The knights have allowed this to happen due to being shit scared of losing him and now have shown that this is acceptable in the club.

Their 2 wins this year he barely touched the ball (round 1) and was out for the other

 

[This Year?]

The Knights and Dragons should merge to become a superderp.

 

[King hit]

Man I have no idea what to make of this game. I suppose at least we played steady and worked for it

Like we were 7/10 at best and that might be a bit kind....but we're gonna win by 36 odd. Newy were worse than a Raelene Castle sex tape with Clive Palmer.
