The rest of the competition seems to be excited about the Knights ‘comeback’. Let’s be completely honest, at 32-6 it looked a matter of time before the chooks got 2 or 3 more and then RTS had 2 moments to gift them 2 tries. The Gidley try was definitely concerning and the players will be rightly blasted over it.
The comeback by the bulldogs was a comeback in the true sense of the word, they dominated us for that period so fair play to them. I am not saying the last 2 weeks have been perfect by any stretch but what happened yesterday is being overstated somewhat.
I can see why the similarities are being drawn to last year however this year the team seems to be well and truly focused on the finals, resting players and scouting other top 4 teams is testament to that. Maybe a loss last week would have been a better result to re-focus the team, only time will tell I guess.
