Knights v Souths Post Match Thread

[Holla if ya hear me]

I just dont get it...Craig Smith is our best at the moment and he has been in england
Do they bludge in the off season..then wait and see how they go..then try and catch up???
Its not rocket science..the goosters have been using the defensive pattern since 2002 for christ sakes!...Its almost a team refusal to tackle in gangs or put numbers into the tackles and then peel off...ITS NOT HAPPENING!
They cant defend close to the line...JEEZ..Did KENNEDY do that much work??
Reynoldson and simpson almost tackled themselves to a standstill and yet Reynoldson seems to do little in attack..
Johns was our best defender..and he had 12 months of a busted knee
ITS JUST WRONG!!!

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

bloody hell....my post didnt get thru and cant be bothered...we suck!
oh yeah...we saw the defensive pattern of the goosters back in 2002..and we are still to use it!!!!!Its almost as if the team refuses to use it..Why cant we HIT in tackles..why cant we HURT in tackles
this is a coaching problem as well as attitude...wrong attitude is showing thru..Hell out best tackler is a halfback with 12 months out of the game and 2HDS man of the match was a freakin winger in his first game!!Great for him but some forwards are bludging and its not good enough for this crap to continue while wearing a red and blue jersey...the old boys would either be crying or pissing themselves laughing

[Whats Doing]

After watching the game on Fox, it would not matter who we put in. The fact is the players are not fit enough for NRL. It was obvious from the 10 minute mark, when the defence did not move off their line and let the Souths players make 10 metres every tackle.

When the players are not fit, everything fails. When players are fatigued, they miss tackles, do not back up, lose concentration, drop balls, react slowly to situations, markers do not work and they fail to move up quickly in defence.

Gould was spot on when he said, Souths only need to hang on to the ball and the knights will tire.

This problem directly comes from Hagan and his conditioning staff.

This problem needs attention immediately before we can hope to ever be competitive in a game.

Conditioning staff :arrow:
The conditioning "staff" are'nt doing there job, what the hell would a former sprinter know about conditioning for a rugby league team #-o

 

[Gene Krupa]

Not alot obviously.

I find it terrible that when I watch us play now, I hope we don't get flogged, rather than hoping we win.

Our defence was a disgrace. Our attack was just as bad. We put 12 points on Souths. I know they're not as bad as they used to be, but their still Souths.

Johns, Simpson and Smith we're good. Salkeld looked promising. Kurt tried to hard, but at least he tries. The rest of them would be in reserve grade at any other club. They seem to lack commitment, desire and as much as I hate to say it ability.

Come June 30 its time to cull the dead wood. Get rid of Perry and Hughes and above all Hagan, and replace them with players who will wear the jersey with pride and at least make us proud of them again.

I think Perry needs to be given a chance..He can fire up like against rauhihi last year?...he might be itching for a game

 

[Matt23]

Or itching for a pie #-o

Perry has done nothing in 3 years f@ck him off and by someone like cayless or ohara.

 

[thuganomics]

i dont know about 3 years...he did make Origin in 2003. Still dont know how though #-o

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I reckon his a deadset cat, seeing him in the trial against cronulla try to bash some 18 year old a third his size and dislocating his wrist which has had him out since then has increased my hatred of him.

Case Closed: Perry IS NOT the answer
