Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Parramatta @ Browne Park

[Tom155]

Pretty sure it was just when Jayden was rested, could be wrong though

Team list only has Brailey as captain this week not co-captain with Ponga or Dan now that he is back

 

[Zoidberg]

Yeah I just had a look back at previous team lists and it’s just when Brailey hasn’t played.

 

[Old dog]

Good pick-up. AOB said Ponga would have the (C) next to his name since he was named captain.

Don't think I'd look too far into it but perhaps he's trying to alleviate a bit of pressure from Ponga?

Probably for the attendance of Captains for pre game advertising, read into it what you want.
Ponga injured and having remedial treatment, DSaf in same treatment.
I personally don’t like Ponga as Captain as I feel he looses himself in everything around him causing frustration and not performing as well because of it.
Brailey is next best, position and sense, but I think it should be Pearce.

Just looking into the crystal ball, these things are going to happen on Sunday.

- Brodie Jones will have one of his legendary games off the bench for us. Linebreaks, offloads, tries and big hits.
- Kurt Mann will get a couple of linebreaks and a try. He'll be breaking tackles like a madman and not drop the ball
- Ponga will have a dashing long-range try
- Blake Ferguson will have nightmares about Clifford's torpedo bombs

So excited for this game. So good to be playing finals footy. Really hope we just give ourselves the best chance possible.

Ease up on the drugs boss.

Just to even up the karma...

- Jones to be only used for the last 4 minutes of the game
- Kurt Mann to concede a couple of line breaks and drop the ball like a madman
- Ponga will fail to stop any long range tries
- Clifford won't get the ball to bomb because Pearce will do all the kicking

Being a Knights fan so long, just better safe than sorry.

Joey Lussick is out. They are on their 3rd choice hooker Ray Stone. Pretty sure he plays off the bench for Their reggies. He goes alright but not really a first grader.

We're lucky enough to get Ashley Klown this week

 

[Muddy71]

Pretty sure we haven't had Klein all year and now we get him for a semi

 

[Jono078]

Pretty sure we haven't had Klein all year and now we get him for a semi

Is that right? Wow.

Someone better tell him we're the most disciplined team this year! Need him coming into that game with that in the back of his mind.

 

[mozza91]

How is Klein i the top 4 referees in the comp?

He’s been so shit for so long.

 

[Knight Tales]

Why can’t we get Matty C. He is the best ref in the game.

 

[Still Nutty]

Klein did 2 games this year:

Round 5 vs Titans - we went down 42-16
Round 11 vs Cowboys - we went down 36-20

 

[Jono078]

Klein did 2 games this year:

Round 5 vs Titans - we went down 42-16
Round 11 vs Cowboys - we went down 36-20

Looking at that you'd think Klein was a Qlder.

Lucky it's two NSW teams on Syndey, and we have Qld superstar Kalyn Ponga. Knights 40-14.

 

[slotmachine]

Looking at that you'd think Klein was a Qlder.

And yet we won the penalty/ 6 again count both times...
Klein is hilariously incompetent but we were shit both days.

Klem says there's no way he's going to miss the game

I wonder if we're better to start with Klem? If things go wrong then you bring on a Saifiti, rather than him sitting on the bench with the pain killers wearing off and then if something goes wrong you're bringing on a bloke who already started and did the tough stuff.

 

[Old dog]

Our middle forwards are a concern to me of out top 5, DSaf and Sue missed last week due to injury, Klem played last week and came of injured with JSaf and King the other two. Hopefully all care and rehab has been done and the final 17 selected are all good to go.

For anyone who doubts our chances..... The great one has spoken

Ex-coach Hagan says another Eels upset not beyond Knights

"You sense there is still another level. We just need to see it right now before it's too...

[The Axe of Druss]

Hes not wrong

Our guys have been playing in 3rd gear for most of the year. We know there is better football in this team than what theyve shown

On the other side of the coin we have seen exactly what Parra are capable of, which is good footy, but i dont believe their ceiling is as high.

The real difference is consistancy. Only recently have we seen Parra drop away a bit but for the most part they have maintained their best footy. Our boys have been the opposite, rarely producing what they are truely capable of.
