2024 R26 Sun - Newcastle 36-14 Gold Coast @ McDonald Jones

So what’s the rule there? Yesterday they called 6 again, a player kicked the ball which was picked up by the defence and they went back for a penalty. This time it’s a forward pass and it’s a turn over. Please make it make sense.

Fifita could have wrecked Pongy there and belted him in goal. That pussy needs a shrink in the off season.

The ruling on the kick was the ref considered the six again call came at basically the same time. So the player didn't have time to change the play

An error has always been treated as a turn over. Which I f**ken hate too mind you. Should go back for the penalty. But it's different to the ref calling a six again pretty much as a bloke kicks it

Its the NRL. Why do you think it's going to have logic behind it?

 

[Wb1234]

How close lol

The titans looks up for this but feels like the knights only have to be at about 70% and they’ll get it done, atm they’re at about 50%

Fair enough. I don’t mind the idea of a zero tackle being a free play to make take this ‘advantage interpretation’ out of it.

 

[Apey]

Campbell's stopped a few linebreaks with 1 on 1 tackles. Impressive from a little dude.

 

[Wb1234]

Nice

 

[Vic Mackey]

Well by the book that’s no try, ponga runs around the lead runner

 

[Grapple]

Knights have been pretty lucky - that home field advantage you'd expect but Gold Coast have much better structure and are charging down the field. No rushing D' from Newcastle is pretty worrying.

Might just go down to a field goal

 

[GreenMachine121]

Top class performance so far

Gold Coast for some reason are legit trying not to score

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Come on Tits!

 

[Wizardman]

The Knights have an absolute Ferrrari out there but the driver is unfortunately Mr Bean

 

[Bazal]

Well I for one think that first half was boring. Where's the f**ken chaos?

Titans are going to have to go from shapely to voluptuous in the 2nd stanza if they're going to win here.

Ponga is doing everything including most of our play-kicking, our halves are just there because you have to fill out the teamsheet.

There's a 60 point half coming up

We're going to waste his entire career. At least he got a Dally M last year.

Hopefully the Rio Tinto Knights sub John Setka in at half time

Ponga is an incredible player but needs to get involved more consistently. The best fullback's are constantly hunting for the ball around the ruck for tired forwards, despite any halves combination.

He's shown it again today how good he is when involved. Before today he had 1 try for the season?
