Halftime
24-8

Knights 8 Bulldogs 24 halftime what a game.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

good game, im happy with the way we are doing, so far been down to 12 men, although the knights are without Johns also.

should be an interesting 2nd half!

 

[Hado]

Yes the game is good so i have 4 points in tipping

 

[Ridders]

so far so good altho i'd be a bit concerned for the last 10-15 min or so cause thats when the factor of having to play with 12 men will start to have an effect...plus we all know about the dogs infamous track record in the second half of games

 

[Ridders]

tonga has been great in defense. Made some very important tackles

 

[Marshall_magic]

McManus is the worst winger I have ever seen

Terry Seu Seu looks like a good prospect for the knights though

 

[Blaze]

FMD!! if joey had of gotten up SBW wouldn't of even near been sent off. The tackle hit his shoulder

Exactly. Archer was pressured into it because of the result of the tackle.

Ludicrus decision. Dissapointing. We will see plenty worse go unpunished this season.

No doubt SBW will get a 6 week ban or something ridiculous as well.

No way was that a send off, rubbish decision, 10 mins in the bin would of been fair enough
1) Johns was falling
2) Unintentional

If it wasn't at Newcastle and Johns wasn't down for that long, it would not of been a send off.

 

[Hado]

Ok.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

hopefully sonny bill dosent get more than 2-3 weeks, i guess we will have to find out tomorrow.

Re: Johns - he was knocked out before he hit the ground.

SBW hit him flush on the cheek - possible broken cheek bone as he's been taken to Hospital for x-rays.

What is it about targeting playmakers this season? Have I missed a memo?

Inglis copped it high all night, now Joey, 3 minutes into his season cops a flush shot. It might not have been intentional, but SBW was going high from the start of the game - and it seems to be an intimidation tactic - rattle em early, keep them quiet.

SBW - 4-5 weeks.

If Johns has a broken cheek bone, how long would he likely be out for?

 

[Dr Crane]

I think it was a send offable offence. I think the send off ought to be sufficient though. Mayyyybe a week or two.

 

[mattyg]

the newcastle fans have gone awfully quiet since there OFF OFF OFF chants earlier in the game. :lol:

 

[aussies1st]

McManus is the worst winger I have ever seen

Terry Seu Seu looks like a good prospect for the knights though

Agree what a shocker McManus is. Seu Seu definitely a promising player for the Knights.

 

[wittyfan]

6 weeks for SBW.

 

[Hado]

Second half about to get underway.

I think it was a send offable offence. I think the send off ought to be sufficient though. Mayyyybe a week or two.

You also said Bulldogs attack looks rubbish, and yeah well.. they are on 24..

SBW - 4-5 weeks.

Targeting playmakers is nothing new. Johnny Lang was carrying on about it after everyone kept belting Gower late a few years back.
