2025 R17 Fri - Newcastle 18-22 Canberra @ McDonald Jones

[Apey]

Both games have been terrible!

Newcastle would deadset struggle to beat some Jersey Flegg sides!

Raiders will wipe the floor with your plod side when it counts.

Congrats Raiders. Completely ran over the top of us for most of the game (which wasn’t surprising considering the huge discrepancies in the packs). Actually love seeing you at the top of the table and the butthurt from the Dogs fans.

Not too disappointed from a Knights perspective. Considering we have no forwards or halves, to go down to a Hastings dropped ball against the top side currently I’ll definitely take. We don’t have much talent at the moment, but can’t knock the effort every week.

Hastings and Cogger just don’t work, especially not together. Thankfully they’ll both be gone next year. Happy we didn’t try and match the Tigers offer for KPP too. We’re carrying too many reserve graders at the moment.

Hastings knock on and try to Canberra the difference...

Newcastle were ordinary and Canberra barely won! The world's easiest draw is the only thing keeping them winning.

Who's salty now?

Other than Tarps, who were you upset at losing?

Sasagi was always a keeper, and we should have taken Hosking back when he was offered to us for min.

Starling is a surprise.

Haha you've been waiting for that

You've been lucky last couple of weeks... I'd prefer the luck later on! Sook up beating the 3 time wooden spooners (could be 4th) and a team most flegg sides would wipe the floor with. Been a tough 2 weeks for you guys.

 

[Apey]

I thought the Knights defended pretty well really. Raiders threw the ball around in the first half and it all came off. Hastings drops it in comical fashion handing them the ball in open field for a try. We have an awful run home though so we only have ourselves to blame for losing games to plod teams that we are where we are on the ladder. Can't see us getting much higher.

Yeah a tough 2 WINS.

Yeah we haven’t been playing well. Still won both games though, at the end of the season the 2 points is all that matters.

We got knights fans sticking up for the Raiders in this thread
Do you know what a f**king merkin of a team and fanbase you have to be to get that shit happening

Disgust for the Dogs and their trash arse fan base could bring peace to the middle east

 

[Bobby DIGital]

We don't even have to leave Canberra again until August. 3 home games and a bye coming up.

Holy f**k. And Gough was telling him to stay at marker.

"Obviously a concern for finger dislocation" mate I'm no doctor but I reckon there's a firm diagnosis there tbh

Slow down, hombre.

You don’t want that bulldog “smoke”.

That kind of Smoke reminds me when we used to congregate at Dolls points enjoying a nice afternoon of burning rubber in the late eighties before the fun police closed of the parking area.. lol

Playing a lot better than you were a few weeks ago at least. Paul Pierce and McEwan looks promising. Hopefully they're on our recruitment radar jk
