Lift your game Idjets - Is this the Game Day Thread or what?

[Quigs]

How good is this, oh-612 hours on match day and I get to kick off again.

Yeah we will win.

(I am getting concerned that some of us declared idiots might be deteriorating as we type)

Sign of the time Quigs - late start or early finish for some.
Look forward to reading the thread after 600pm - off to the beach, then early lunch followed by mid beers. Enjoy the day messiahs

 

[Ozzi_78]

Will be interesting to see which team gets nailed by the officials today.

 

[Get_Sharked]

Not expecting a pretty game, but will be content with any sort of win with our current travel schedule.

 

[bluefox68]

I’m over in Perth with an all day schedule.

Hopefully watch the game on Kayo late tonight.

 

[Griffoshark66]

No clue what to expect, however, their effort is obvious in the first 10 of every game. If we turn up we will win.

 

[Chimp]

If we’re serious, we should flog them today - but that means we’re prime for a bed shitting….

But if the rugby gods are feeling kind, a try double by either Tieg, Tommy or Nicho (or preferably all 3 of them) would be very very nice, and would have my grand final flights and tickets covered for if we get there!

 

[roboshark]

Will be there in the corporate box taking in all the freebies. Primed for am ambush. The knights have been copping it all week

 

[Go Nulla]

Simple …..the ref is Klein. We will be sausaged into oblivion.

 

[Quigs]

Annnnd me little chinwags, did we happen to notice who the imbecile whistle blower for our big game today is ...........

BASTARD NULLA, You beat me by one far can minute.

 

[roboshark]

I noticed and put it on here on Tuesday

 

[R-15-3]

Cracking day up in the hunter
Should be a fast dry game.

 

[roboshark]

Expecting a completely different knights team this week. Wont be an easy game

This is another thing for which I point the finger of blame at SFB.

The style of play he has coached into the team has killed the enthusiasm of most die hard fans.
This place has been like a morgue the past few weeks.
Usually win, lose or draw there's plenty of banter.
Now? Just a general feeling of resignation that "we know how this season's going to play out already".

Newcastle have scored 3 tries since and including round 3.

Watch them score 6 today

 

[Ozzi_78]

Best double. Easy money

I’ve noticed your posts in this vein lately and I’m not sure if satire or genuine or what. I surely don’t think Fitzgibbon’s coaching has been perfect, and our performances so far this season have been flat — but I think given our recent season results it’s too early to be jumping on this particular bandwagon. Help me understand.

It's all genuine. I'm off him.

Happy for him to prove me wrong - and praying that he does - but, to me, he has shown over his tenure that he is unwilling, or unable, to address any areas which need improvement.
He is way too focused on loyalty, sticking with incumbents and a "one game plan fits all" mentality.
There is no thinking on the run, no reacting to match situations, just:

- It's the 21st minute, Tommy on for Herb
- It's the 28th minute, Toby on for AFB
- It's the 30th minute, Sifa on for Cam
- It's the 50th minute, Atkinson on for Sifa

In between, the outside backs share the first three hit ups.
Whichever middle/edge is nearest the play takes the fourth.
WK takes the fifth.
Kick to the corners and chase.

etc etc infinitum, ad nauseam.

See above.

In 6 rounds we have barely fired a shot.
And that all comes down to the coach.

Could be an open misere for one of the teams. Klein in the middle, Kennedy as senior review official and The beaver who thinks she's a badger on the line. FMFFJJ
