17 great performances today.

If that team runs out again next monday I'd be confident of another win. Parra arn't playing good at all and we should towel them. Hopefully.

I don't think anybody had a bad game today. Good performance all round. I think Kurt Gidley though had the curse of the Red Boots. So much so that it prompted them to use 3 goal kickers. But be fair there was a bit of wind about and a couple of them hit the uprights.

As far as the refereeing goes. I made a comment to one friend of mine after we were beaten by the Titans up at Cararra last year that Ben Cummins couldn't referee a wet t-shirt competition. Well nothing has changed my opinion of that. The important thing is we won and at the this stage of the season a win is a win.

I've also been saying for ages that we still needed a win where it was a really big thumping win. Well I think we can count today as that. If the goal kicking had been a bit more on song it would've been more but I'm not complaining. It was a big win to build the team's confidence and blow out any cobwebs that may still be there.

Great performance all round. As far as Aka Uate goes, where's he been all year?

Was bloody awesome to see us score some tries. It was entertaining, not like the friday night games which were boring as bat sh*t.

Hopefully we can keep doing it and guys like Ciraldo Houston and Taia can keep playing consistently well.

Taia has been playing great footy this year. Goes a tad unnoticed but stats always look pretty solid. Surely he is not SBW but does his job no questions asked. Looks pretty injury proof to:eek:

solid point Roops! but i get nervous everytime he does it haha

no doubt the team has the commitment..they shown it all year
what we need is what we got in the 2nd half
from the 50min mark onwards..we were basically un-interupted by the ref and by ourselves..we cut out silly mistakes..we cut out stupid penalties..and we chose the right time to throw the 2nd phase in..therefore we sore a the dominante exciting football we have been waiting for all year..


AND I f**kING LOVED IT:p
we do the same work on parra..we'll hit 50...cause Pato will kick:p
touch wood on everything i just said!

Would anyone be able to tell me when the replay will be on Fox? :D

I think this is one worth taping and playing in the off season.

In 2002 or 2003 Juventus sold Zindane for a record 67million euros to Real Madrid. He was the current best player in the world and everyone blamed the coach for selling their best player and only hope. In reality the team wasnt doing that great, Zidane was awesome but rest of team wasnt upto his standard so they hadnt won anything in a whlie, with that money Juventus bought 3 good players in Buffon, Nedved and forgot the other plus couple of small name signings. They went on to win the next 3 league Scuddtos or whatever it is called.

And Juve used the change to bribe the officials! :D

Actually given the crap treatment Knights get from the refs, it will be prudent to take Robert Finch out for a nice 'dinner' ;-)

Just had a glance at the stats from the match and it certainly was a good old pasting the boys gave them - from memory the bunnies missed a WHOPPING 92 tackles : Sandow missed 13 and Sutton 11 - in metres gained were something like 1700 and they were 900 - we made 15 line breaks to their 4 - we made 95 tackle busts to their 22 - an all over he park great performance. Consistency is now what's required for the run home.
.
Round 21 could be good for us - The WARRIORS -v- Rabbitohs : RAIDERS -v- Broncos & TITANS -v- Storm all have difficult matches and all are away from home (the bunnies can't play that badly again can they against the Warriors) - a good win by the Knights against the struggling Eels (wouldn't it be nice if Mateo was to miss one more game) could see us back into the top 8.
.
From what I can see from the remainder of the draw the Panthers have a pretty horrid run home - the Titans with their growing injury list also have a tough run - The Warriors have a tough one as well as the Eels so it's up to boys for some solid consistant footy to not just sneak into the finals but possibly a little higher than 8th spot.

Lol how bad was Tallis.

Craig Houston, Steve Southern, Aku Uatoo lol.

Uate was very good at second viewing. Chased a kick hard and took Talanoa into touch and got us a scrum, 2 very good decisions in defence which stopped possible tries.

Not as bad as he was on Monday nite footy last week when he was referring to Robert Finch as Robert Stone. No disrespect, but Robert Stone passed away a few years ago!!! How embarrassing. :crazy:
