Knights V Dragons Match Discussion

[Jobdog]

FMD you're a virus Karma :lol: We win and you still want to turn it into one of your bitchfests.

Really happy with the win though.. wooohoooo!

:lol: :lol: It's outrageous. Just supports his anti-Dureau sentiments ;-)

According to NRL.com, the error count for last night:

McManus - 9 Errors
Rogers - 7 Errors
Gidley - 6 Errors
Faaoso - 6 Errors

Are we blind to the errors of some of the favored players here and just like to whip others?

Of course people are - anything to get Golden Boy in the team.

Does anybody know when the game is available on the NRL Web site for streaming? Only heard the game on radio

What's this u speak of? I missed the game last night and would love to watch it.

Umm, are you sure those aren't the totals for the season? :?

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Wow you really think anyone would care enough about your opinion that they'd prefer us to potential lose the you be right, suck it up sweetheart you're not that important

Agreed! It was a ridiculus comment by karma....

 

[Jobdog]

Rogers made a few errors last night, but surely not that many :crazy:

 

[Whats Doing]

McManus did not make 9 errors last night nor did Rogers make 7.

Would it really matter if it was over the season?


Certain players get preferential treatment on here, while others don't.


The anti Rogers sentiment after what was a match winning performance is beyond me.

Sure I don't rate Dureau, but when he plays a bloody good game, I'm the first to congratulate the bloke.

Shame a few other people on here can't remove the hate every now and then.

lol.. i reckon. we mustn't have completed a single set last night, going by those error counts. :lol:

:lol:!!! You're kidding right?

 

[Karmawave]

Nope Dobby.

I thought Rogers played well.

You aren't happy with winning? Maybe the Mad Dog try was a fluke?

 

[keeney]

Pfft, last night? Learn to objectively read stats. Obviously 4 players didn't make a collective 28 errors last night, I doubt we had that many sets. NRL.com also claims Sau has made something like 350 runs this year, learn to take these things with a grain of salt.

I don't see why this is such a divide. Most people have lauded Rogers for his performance last night, I thought he was very good, and honestly had no beef with the chip. I, likewise have acknowledged that he has had similarly good touches in the last few weeks. He does however, make unforced errors, brain snap errors, and sh*tty decisions (something that would not be recorded on error counts). These I can live with while he maintains this form. Yes, I concede he is more creative and spontaneous than Scott. But, I, like most people here, believe that Scott allows Mullen off the leash. It isn't a 1 for 1 comparison with Rogers and Dureau, they're so different as players the mind boggles. I personally think that Mullen playing 6 is ten times better than the both of them put together, and that's why I push Scott, because his assets complement Mullen's better. Rogers influence on the game is, as many have said, being limited to small instinctual contributions every now and again, harnessing his skillset by preventing him from being very involved and preventing him from more brain explosions by taking the pressure off. This places a huge strain on Mullen and Gidley as well. Kurt's role was severly diminished last night due to the additional strain. Do we really need Rogers doling out his pressure to other (better) strike weapons? In the process diminishing their roles/influence?

At the moment I would have him in my team, preferably in the 14, but I could cope with him being in teh 6 for now as well. I suspect whoever said it was correct in saying that we will not have stable halves pairing this year, I just hope Scott is given some time to demonstrate his worth. Keep in mind, the last time he played a game he won us the Shark's game in a more emphatic and solo fashion then Rogers last night.

I'm not sure putting the Sharks as a strength of opposition example in 2009 is a good point the way they've been playing in recent weeks.



I DON'T CARE WHO PLAYS - JUST KEEP WINNING.


Can we all agree on that? ;-)

 

[Jobdog]

Nope Dobby.

Of course I'm happy with winning. It just could have been a very different story if Rogers' brain snap led to the Dragons racing 60 metres and sending us into golden point where anything could have happened.

 

[perverse]

agree with keeney 100%... i'm happy enough with rogers for now... but i did make the commen earlier that our halves pairing simply wont be stable this year... and i've moved past that issue now. i don't really agree with it... but it's getting us results.

good post though mate. sums up the way i feel about the situation perfectly. scottys win against the sharks was far more impressive and dominant than rogers last night... without the brain snaps too.

 

[keeney]

Yes, we can. But I would love to see a team get put to the sword by us. I would love to see some ruthlessness and maintained fluency. Good teams just don't win, they demolish people, I think halves stability and a dedicated organiser would go a long way to doing that as the team gels.

 

[perverse]

Maybe the Mad Dog try was a fluke?

The mad dog try was all mullen. my grandmother could have hit that gap.

 

[Medievalknight]

The bloke deadset carved up last night

All I want, is Rogers judged on his form and ability, not because everyone loves Dureau so bloody much and hates me.

Here...........have a tissue diddums :lol: ;-)

 

[Frederick]

Could your grandmother have swayed her hips to evade the two diving tacklers on either side that Rogers had to get through?
