So ironic that our player of the year blew a huge chance of us winning last weekend.

Absolutely crushing moment tbh. On the weight of his effort this year, he deserved to catch that and score the try. I was shattered for both of them in that moment.

All of those awards are well deserved by Gags though. On the whole, he had a tremendous year.

Very Newcastle Knights.

I don’t think there’s a guarantee that Gags scores even if he catches it. He would have been off balance and I’m pretty sure there was at least one defender in his vicinity, also Gags isn’t the quickest outside back out there either.

Ultimately, KP should have thrown it inside to Gamble who was unmarked and no-one was catching him. But these are split second decisions that are being made so it’s forgivable imo.

Personally I think the reason we lost that game was our poor start to the 2nd half. If we had continued to squeeze the cowboys for another 20 mins or so I think we would have won the game anyway. But hey hindsight is 20/20 isn’t it.

It would have so wonderful we had scored that try and won the game... So wonderful...

Yep, everyone talks about that moment but in reality it was lost in the forward battle giving us zero opportunities in attacking positions and Simple Jack’s error didn’t help.

The Gagai dropped ball was only such a big deal because it was really the only opportunity we had in the second half. We give ourselves better opportunities and all of a sudden that error doesn’t matter. That dropped ball by Gagai/poor pass decision by Ponga happens in every single game by every team, but it’s only stood out due to the circumstances.

I would’ve done it better.
