Knights v Eels Post Match Talk

[Alex28]

7 tries? wake up to yourself...you are happy to feel sorry for Hall (who also wouldn't commit to the high ball and was back there as well) but want to give it to Thaiday?

Thaidays Stats:

7 Tackles
14 Hitups
112 Metres
1 Error
3 Missed Tackles

So...where were the other 4?

George - who can do no wrong in your eyes - missed 6 tackles! I think you are giving it to the wrong bloke champ...

On the flip side - 12 of the 17 Parramatta players did not miss one tackle at all. All of our players missed at least one tackle. That says something...

Mate Thaidays dropped balls didnt contribute did they? Neither did being so far out of position and playing in the line when his supposed to be 10-15 metres back and having no one to make the tackle when our line was broken wasnt a factor either.

I know you dont like my oppinions due to me having a bit of time for Carmont but surely your not going to argue that Thaiday was anything less then shocking and must not play in that posse again?

 

[Alex28]

I agree mate - but I can't see 7 tries in his poor performance...

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I may have jumped the gun a bit but whats a good story without a healthy dose of exageration!

A 50 point drubbing tends to indicate to me that we're getting worse, not better.

I actually think Parramatta took the soft way out. Had they wanted to boost their own confidence, they would have tried to mix the game up a little, to put even more pressure on a very weak Knights side, and tried for a cricket score.

I dont think a team that is in such a prime position shows any class at all if they back off when they are in front. It shows a level of arrogance, a lack of respect for their competition.

And arguably does not prepare the team mentally or physically for their next encounter with a team with a stronger defence, or better attack, or the ability to hang onto the ball occassionally.
