[ryan.a87]

Knights on a high after a win
Hetherington possibly returning
First game at home for weeks
opposition playing like rubbish

Titans by 12

 

[Yosh]

Worst defense against the worst attack. Let's go!!

 

[Nuke]

Worst defense against the worst attack. Let's go!!

First nil-all drawn game in our lifetimes coming up, then?!

 

[mozza91]

First nil-all drawn game in our lifetimes coming up, then?!

Not a chance. Watch Fifita come back after being dropped and score at least a double.

[Zoidberg]

So we’re stuck with Cogger until we lose?

 

[perverse]

So we’re stuck with Cogger until we lose?

Longer than that if he's not picking Gamble now. Gambles injuries have f**ked his year - and indirectly damaged our year. Whether we like it or not, and regardless of what he says, the criticism of not picking and sticking in our halves clearly has sunk into our coaches head. At least Cogger was able to have some positive contributions against the woeful Souths defence.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We need to win this and win well. We simply can't afford to lose another winnable game and we need to get our FA back in the black

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Ugh...

 

[Tom155]

Just me judging from tv but early doesn’t look like a great crowd

 

[Tom155]

No arms from tino

dirty ass player as usual

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Titans being grubs early

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Oh f**k off Cogger

 

[Tom155]

Cogger making terrible things happen f**k off already

 

[Yosh]

Cogger to slow to chase the rubber then drops it after a good set coming off our line and a quick play the ball by Crossland.

 

[perverse]

How is he so consistently bad? We can't be worse with Dylbro in that jersey. It's not possible.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Cogger’s inadequacies.

Need I say more.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Frizell is still such a machine for a bloke his age

 

[Yosh]

Ah Cogger is bad but Ponga isn't far behind lol...
