2023 R4 Sun - Newcastle 24-14 Canberra @ McDonald Jones

[skeepe]

A lot of teams are struggling with continuity this year. I can’t put my finger on it but the line speed over the 80 minutes is intense. Momentum is heavily influenced by officiating this season and it’s hurting a lot of sides.

I reckon changing the ball going over the sideline from a scrum to a play the ball has done that.

it used to be a valid tactic to give your players a rest while the scrum was packed, now there’s basically no stoppage.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

i just don’t agree.

Savage
Cotric
Croker
Timoko
Rapana

That’s a great backline. Good enough to win it all. Then a top shelf halves pairing, and the best forward pack in the game.

We should be top 4 this year. Easily.

Yea but most of that is missing

Time to bring back Croker.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Anything has to be an improvement on @WaznTheGreat tired old ass.

 

[Pete Cash]

We are just dire to watch which is my biggest issue. I don't really care if we suck that much but it's just tedious and annoying to watch such a moronic team put on awful plays.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Time to bring back Croker.

I think it's over for him bro. Club doesn't want to give him games because it will trigger his option. Which I can understand given the salary and his age/performance.

He’s a club legend, he deserves to get to 300

 

[Apey]

Great win for us. Showing some grit this year which is honestly surprising.

The worst call of the day though was during the half time competition where the contestants had to throw as many balls into a bag as they could in one minute and they gave to the $500 to the bloke who got 6 in instead of the bloke who got 7. I'd be fuming haha.

 

[Saxon]

What the f**king f**k? Did he f**king tackle him too f**king hard or something? Meanwhile the merkin Gagai f**king assaults Hopoate and that’s all f**king good?

f**k you Gerard Sutton you f**king merkin. f**k you you motherf**king f**k.

This is f**king bullshit. Absolute f**king bullshit.

Penalties and set restarts are 9-1. What a f**king snow job from this absolute cancer know. As Gerard Sutton.

Get the f**king Sutton family out of the f**king game. They are nothing but a f**king bunch of incompetent maggots.

Never disappoints.

lol!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

This match thread didn’t live up to the usual Knight Raider lofty standards.

3/7 wouldn’t read through again.

 

[mozza91]

How good is Skeepe?
Just went through the thread and liked the posts where he whinges about the refs and nearly hit triple figures.

 

[King hit]

Perfect round of tipping…until I got to the Rayyyy-duhhhs.

6/8 for me, just missed the panthers and the raiders

 

[Apey]

Is Crossland the worst player regularly named in first grade?

He is your quintessential plodder. Absurd he still makes the team each week.

 

[nick87]

Congrats to the knights
For this week we take the crown of the biggest jokers in the league

heavy is the crown

 

[THE CHAMP]

Left the ground, sure but that’s not illegal.

High? Don’t make me laugh. I suggest a visit to your nearest optometrist, as quickly as possible.

You really were in exceptional form today

Yeah it’s the same old story but , great try to ref for opposite team , that’s never a penalty etc , League is corrupt. Bla bla bla rinse and repeat

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

we should.... meaning we will be awful and scrape home by 2 if we're lucky

Instead you were awful and lost by 10

 

[King-Gutho94]

Miller showed more heart and effort today then what Ponga has shown in 5 years for that club.

And he is probably on a million dollars less a season.
