knights players that got under your skin

[Bring it home Knights]

Precisely. I have never understood those who didn't like Groges -- he was nimble, reasonably quick and a pretty solid player. I can't ever recall there being this much ill-feeling when he was playing... were these people around when he was playing?

because he couldn't catch

f**k we have had plenty worse than Brett Grogan...

Yes we have had worse, but grogan was very ordinary. He spent a lot of time in reserve grade and there was a reason for it

Grogan was a matchwinner on his day. A bit like Milton Thaiday, brilliant one day, shi*house the next.
But he is the type of player you need to have in your side to win you games....and Grogan did do that for us.

Peter Shiels? He can't make that team, he was solid. Even Slammin Sam Stewart dropped some absolute clangers, as did Marquet, but boy could they defend. Thaiday should be on that list, my mates are Knight's fans & they crap on about him & how he should have been chosen for Origin & Australia (needless to say, one-eyed), but god he can be frustrating to watch. Makes a burst through the line & then slows up completely, drops balls all over the place. Great player on his day but shocking on his next. Should be on the wing, with Seage at fullback next year.

For the older guys on here- what about that Tony Herman on the wing- he had hands like, well, he didnt have any!!He was very fast but couldnt tackle and was less than impressive when it came to catch-pass.He used to frustrate the life out of me.:crazy:

hahha he was my coach at the Gymea Gorillas a few years ago. He is a top bloke off the field but even I'd have to agree he was pretty ordinary for the Knights.

George Carmont (I'm starting to come round though)
Matt Jobson
Matt Kennedy
Troy Fletcher
Julian Bailey
Adrian Brunker
Marty Crequer
Steve Witt
Scott Carter

I always thought bailey was a good player and after what fletcher did for us in the 97 gf, I could never bag him

Hence why they're players that get under "my" skin

ok I'll phrase it another way. What was it you didn't like about bailey?
