Yeah Ennis played well, I turned it off after we dropped that ball from the 20m restart. To many silly penalties (yes some of them were a joke) and to much drop ball at the wrong end of the field. You could swear tho that they were playing Touch out there half the time. Even when the Cowboys were tackled the ref would call them to play it after 2 seconds.
Im not going to tip them next week. We have ZERO chance of beating the Roosters the way we are playing, even with our top calibre players back. This has been the most horrific season I have ever witnessed from the Knights, even tho it has contained 2 of our greatest ever wins. I have watched pretty much every Knights game since Day 1 and even though we didnt go all that well in the first few seasons, we played with a lot of pride and passion. I was there when we played our first home game against Brisbane.....when we won that game against Balmain in 1990 to get ourselves into a 5th place play-off......when we snotted Canterbury 40-6 in 1995 (where that famous piece of audio comes from in the Go Hard, Go Knights song)......I went completely nuts in 1997 when we got over Manly in the Grand Final.......I was there, on the darkest day of all, when we were flogged by the Sharks, sitting alongside my best mate, a Sharks fan......and I danced with joy at Telstra Stadium in 2001 as MY side raced to a 24-0 lead against Parramatta, and to go on and win the title.....I have been there through the highs....and the lows....i expected so much from this season.....Joey being the fittest he has been.....exciting new recruits like Seage, Carmont, Witt.....and arguably the best pack in the competition. But it has all gone to hell. It started bad, built up slowly to the point where I believed we might just have a shot at this years title, after we beat 2 major contenders. But now.....3 losses on the trot will send us a$$ out of the top eight, with potentially another one coming next weekend. It cuts deep guys.....and it hurts....hurts like hell. I nearly have tears in my eyes as I type this. I hope that someone in the Knights camp gets hold of this post and reads it to the boys at training during the week. I liken it to a relationship.....just when u think ur comfortable and its all going well, you get stabbed in the back, by someone you thought u loved. Now dont get me wrong, I can take a loss as much as the next person, when we play well.....but guys, seriously, you CANNOT call that playing well. You CANNOT call that joke of a game last week, against a side that has NOTHING going for it, playing well. All we ask is that you put in 100%, stop the crap, and dont make excuses when u lose. I will still cheer the boys for the rest of the year....but I know deep down that we are far to inconsistent to be ANY threat at this years title.
I'm sorry this post has gone on far longer than I expected, but once I start typing, my emotions get the better of me. I had better finish on some sort of positive note before I drag the rest of you down with me.
