Knights V Eels Post Match Thread

[Apey]

Disappointed that we let the first try in.

I really thought our first try should have been given too.

Ah well, a win is a win.

The whole line was really ordinary whenever they moved the ball to their right. It really stood still, no moving up and no slide what-so-ever. Need more communication with the younger guys coming from the inside. Glad to see the two really turned it on in attack in the second half though.

Yeah - no one slided out to help, and when Uate was faced with two or three attackers he ran around like a headless chook.

Who passes the ball less - Sau or Naiqama?

 

[Jono078]

Naiqama I think. Atleast Sau has given it a couple times to Uate.

Yeah I think so too.

I'd stick with this Patterson-Sau-Uate combo down the left. It looks very promising.

 

[knights_86]

sau is such a powerhouse runner, but agreed that he definitely needs to pass to uate on more occasions
hell i wont complain too much though, could be worse and we could still be stuck with no-confidence carmont..

It was weird, they often looked a much better side in attack. we were winning due to their sh*tty defense, but it seemed they were more potent. I'm glad we contained them and the score got us into the 8. We were definitely the better side, but it had a weird feel to it. I know I'm not articulating myself well, decidedly non-committal, but I had a number of beers, so shoot me.

Essentially what I'm trying to say is, Parra were threatening, moreso than the scoreline indicates, I felt like we should have been able to win by more, but simultaneously worried that they could have cut the margin way down in the last 20.

I know what you mean...thats kinda how I felt too. Parra look as clueless at actually getting over the line as the Sharks.

Uate should be with MacDougall.

Seconded!

 

[Hanscholo]

The Sau/Uate partnership doesn't work in defense or attack really.
Uate had a terrible game in defense, but Sau was leaving him a lot of ground to cover, and Uate struggles to cover 5 metres, let alone 10 or 15.
In attack, Uate could have had three if Sau drew the defense and put him away, rather than just scoring one and blowing two others.

Gotta agree, id prefer to see MacManus with Sau. Uate is funny in defence, he looks like he was only taught to tackle last week. Id love to see him use his power more in defence.

I took a sequense of pics of Uate that i put in a thread earlier in the year that showed the best and worst of Uate, showed him missing a tackle, then cleaning up the mess and driving the guy 10 feet sideways over the sideline.

Great performance all round. That's now 2 in a row. The big thumping wins we need to boost our confidence and blow out the cob webs. Did my dough on the punt with this game but who cares we won.
The game started off with a bang though with the apperance of The Serial Pest. Dont know why it was against Parramatta that he shows up all the time

 

[Pika]

It was no secret the Uate had his defencive problems.

I think he brings to the game more than we risk though.

Our middle was solid part from Eels off loads.

That will need to be sorted before next Monday.

I wanna know how the Scott Dureau fans explain the Knights piling on the points with one halfback and no 5/8 only Chris Houston named in the halves, but really playing as an extra forward :lol: :lol: :lol:

From this time forward, Scott Dureau will be forever known as SUPERSUB.

Three words Karma: Quality of oposition

Three words Karma: Quality of oposition

So Smith was taking it easy on them by deeming SuperSub a bench player.

Ah I see. ;-)

 

[Pika]

Great play by Smith.

Early this year Hagan ran everything at Scott.

His last minute benching meant Eels had to go to plan 'B'..... there was no plan 'B'

 

[perverse]

not to mention mullen was laying on the plays thick and fast. best i've seen him play in a while now.

 

[Karmawave]

Some would suggest Hagan might not have had a Plan A :lol:

I think the Knights should revolutionise the game by playing with ONE halfback, and 7 forwards! HA!

 

[macavity]

I think we already have Karma.

might not work so well without bedsy though.

 

[Karmawave]

Every week.
