2024 FW1 Sat - North Qld v Newcastle @ QLD Country Bank

[roboshark]

What was the result with Feldt and HIA

 

[Vic Mackey]

Thought the knights were probably the better team, however big game players win these games. KNights have 1, cows have a few. Knights really need to sort out what they’re doing with the halves next year. They have 4 and they’re all basically the same player.

 

[chrisD]

Wonder if Ponga would take a pay cut for a chance to win a comp

He could try the Spencer route and take a paper bag for a true premiership team.

 

[Wizardman]

My f**k, the Cows were very, very lucky tonight.

 

[chrisD]

Yeah I'm sure I'm wasting my time here because your average punter doesn't know anything about the Knights except what they read in the Daily Telegraph but here's some alleged 2025 salaries for you:

Ponga 1.5M (1.2M this year)
Hastings 800k (dropped to NSW cup twice this year due to poor)
Dan Saifiti 800k
Jayden Brailey 600k
Hetherington 550k
Will Pryce 400k (cant crack first grade)

Pongas on 100k more than Cleary and DCE in 2024.

Mate besides his injuries I don’t think Ponga’s output vs price is a concern.

Enjoyable game for a neutral (I hate both clubs) and any game that has Tyson 'nice guy' Gamble blubbing at the end is a good one.

 

[MRN]

Ehhhh, Jake duke name dropping the mad cow. Place is a shit hole. Always was.

 

[chrisD]

Can channel 9 show us the ten minute montage of them telling us how good Kaylyn is

Hopefully in an hour during my before bed wank.

 

[Woody90]

have you guys signed anyone for next year ?

Not really. They don’t have any cap space to, hence why they’re trying to move blokes.

Signed Leo Thompson’s twin from Union and Schiller from the Raiders who probably won’t be able to get into the backline but that’s it. Need a halfback.

Signing Peter O’Sullivan was huge for us though and for the first time in a while I’m feeling somewhat optimistic about the future.

 

[Apey]

Anyway it sucks to lose like that but we played pretty well for the most part. Certainly put up more of a fight than most thought we would.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Painful making that puss team look half decent with so many errors.

But will enjoy the NRL-funded private jet to Sydney next week.

 

[borisdog]

Cowboys win by 12 points. 20 minutes post game chat about how good Ponga is on Fox before Cowboys are even mentioned.

 

[borisdog]

My f**k, the Cows were very, very lucky tonight.

Absolutely, Gagai takes that pass it’s game over.

 

[simmo05]

Thats called lavarack barracks

post match stadium orgy in Townsville tonight.

 

[Someone2]

Turn it on cows and score 30pts in the second half

Good call

 

[mozza91]

Heroic 80 minute effort from Todd Smith. Did everything he could to get them over the line. In the end our own ineptness got the job done.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Not sure what to make of the cows, they struggled to break down an ordinary Newcastle side. In the end it was a pretty flukey try that got them ahead and a brain fade set up their winning try.
