Knights 12 - Sharks 8.
A funny game.
The sharks got 8-0 penalties in the first half anf the Knights had poor ball security as well. The Sharks seemed to be attacking the Knights line for most of the half and came up with two lucky tries - with both conversion attempts hitting the upright.
I the second half the Knights got a few penalties and ran in two converted tries to win the game.
Either the Sharks have nothing in attack, or the Knights have great defence - a bit of both I think.

doesn't bother me.
The Sharks have something in attack, and they've shown it in previous rounds, I would put it down to lack of go forward, or something like that.

I've had a talk to people close to the Knights team this morning. The 8-0 penalty count was my count, and I didn't start counting till halfway through the first half when I thought we were 4-0 down, but we were really 6-0 down (if that makes sense). To make a long story short - the Knights were 10-0 down in the penalty count at halftime and early in the second half they were 12-0 down in the penalty count with one guy in the sin-bin as well,
The Knights are coached by Rip Taylor - who has won premierships in four country divisions with teams such as Wests Rosellas in Newcastle, Wyong in the CC division etc etc (all the best country sides).
He wins premierships by coaching his sides to defend the house down.
In recent weeks the Jersey Flegg refs have been on a crusade to stop the Knights defence from being as 'enthusiastic' as coach Taylor wants them to be - but the boys are actually reveling in huge penalty counts against them. In Saturdays game the boys were screaming at each other to 'get up and smash them' all through the game.
Cronulla had enough ball to win three football games - but they weren't all that keen to use it in the end.

I was at the Roosters/Bears game. The Bears had lost a couple of their best players up to Premier League while the Roosters had a couple come back into their squad who had been playing Premier League.

I feel sorry for the Central Coast Rip. I don't know what their future is.
