Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Sydney @ Sydney Cricket Ground

[Haffa]

What a performance. I like my football team again!!

 

[Tom155]

Collins is a massive flog

 

[Burns]

This is a thoroughly enjoyable watch...

I’ve missed footy so so so much

gee this good

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Hahaha love seeing our boys get under the skin of these bullies.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Outplayed them in every facet. Roosters had no injuries like they did when we pumped them 2 years ago. No excuses. We had our best prop out. Classic victory to savour.

 

[Tom155]

Really proud of that performance from the boys

 

[Spot On]

Easy to say in hindsight but this team wouldn't have been ready to play without him, as was evident the last 2 years. He left at the perfect time as Ponga, Clifford and Clune have developed.

Clune is here on a fraction of Pearce’s wage, Clifford played with Pearce last season and Ponga was fairly quiet today tbh.

Pearce was a dud and that has been said ad nauseum for the majority of the time he was at the club.

Total handbrake.

Anyway, a great team performance and finally the ball is moving and we get the benefit of that plus decent kicking options instead of the Pearce standard end to sets.

 

[Tom155]

That’s without Brailey or D-Saf either

 

[Tom155]

And credit where credits due it was a strong performance from Gagai today

 

[Jono078]

Fanf**kintastic win!

Did Young and Tuala show why Hunt may now be winger #3?

Too much to comment on but overall 1-17 couldn't be happier! Yes even Mann and Fitz! Wasn't perfect but there were great signs.

 

[Willie Ray]

Highlight for me....the way they defended when Crossland got sent for ten,
early days yet but good signs from this game.
Great team effort.
Thanks Joey.

Not sure what you're arguing mate, I'm as happy as anyone Pearce has moved on. I was just debating the call of him being a handbrake for 3 years. Like it or not we suffered without him more than we did with, over the past 3 years.

 

[Knight Tales]

NQ fans must be staggered by the fact they let Cliff walk out the door.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Absolutely. I was disappointed when we signed him but that was probably his best game in a Knights jumper.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Was too enthralled in watching to post during the game. That hasn’t been the case for years.

Defence was incredible. Halves are fantastic. Still a bit clunky in attack, thought Mann double pumped or took one step too many too often, causing some flat footed runs, but we have bodies in motion, which looks threatening.

Absolutely dominated many an expert’s favourites.

Arguing?

f**king ecstatic we look like a footy team and the ball is moving and being kicked higher than 4 metres, end over end for no result at the end of every set.

Wooohoooo!!!!

 

[Spot On]

NQ fans must be staggered by the fact they let Cliff walk out the door.

Can only thank them for their blunder up there.

Can only thank them for their blunder up there.

They have definitely taken our crown as dumbest club in the NRL.

 

[macavity]

Thought we would get pumped.

f**k I’m proud of them, showed me something I did not think they had - big brass balls.
