Match Discussion: Round 11 vs Panthers @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Yosh]

Crap... We lose our best attacking outside back for the week and The Problem is in the halves...

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

oooh la la.

But credit to Ross for handling it well. f**king hope Feeney isn't too banged up; f**k Plodkinson coming back anytime soon.

I know it would screw with the DummyHalf rotation, but if Feeney is out, give Randell a go at 7!!!!

Plod is busted and should be put out to pasture (or just put down). Randell might not be hugely talented, but he tries his guts out and he does make a few nice touches.

Yeah I agree, Randell should play halfback. Offers more in his left testicle than hokko does.

 

[Apey]

Oh God, the return of Plodkinson.

 

[Alex28]

Who says Ross went straight to the media?

Ross shouldn't have gone to the media at all.

A contract is a contract. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. Just like we couldn't walk out on Aku's contract when he dealt us 3 years of crap, Ross can't walk out on feeling like being underpaid.

 

[slotmachine]

He didn't "go to the media". The bloke got asked a question by a journo and he answered it too honestly. No wonder players are all cliché filled robots.

This isn't a situation where speaking your mind in public is appropriate. It's not a post-match interview about the team's performance where there is room to expand and players don't do it enough. Surely you can tell the difference and lose the "cliche filled robots" line in this one.

Not when it doesn't fit his agenda!

He took the issue to the media. He could have passed, but he answered it.

He went to the media.

I don't particularly want to see our players whinging about how much they are paid after winning 3 games in the last 18 months to be honest.

 

[Spot On]

Players are generally .... how do you say it nicely..... not aware of the best things to say at times.

Ross should have known better. I don't buy that bs about cliche responses. Listen to the better spoken blokes in the game. Even young Ponga sounds like a scholar when being interviewed and he's a baby.

Ross stepped in shit and now he has to clean himself up Slots.

Get off that other forum. Turning your brain into mush.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Apparently Randell has dropped out of the side, While Plod is still on the extended bench.

He is clearly lightyears ahead of Plod and even if Feeneys fit, are we gonna use a backrower in the Dummyhalf rotation again?

Decisions like this are the main reason why I can't be a Brown nut hugger like so many other Knights fans. He might be the right man for a rebuild but some of his team selections baffle the mind.

The Levi/Randell rotation worked so well last week and played a part in our victory. There is no need to tinker with the side any further other than Barnett for Fitzy and Elliot for Ross that's it. Plodkinson at half with no recognised bench hooker option has failed previously and will continue to fail.

No, he didn't. The media went to him.

 

[Spot On]

No, he didn't. The media went to him.

....and made him answer the way he did of course. He had zero other response options hey.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Gagai probably deserves to be dropped as much as Ross does - contract talks in the open and an apparent signing without informing the club.
Leaks may be elsewhere but he still has an obligation to inform the club.

 

[knightsarmy]

Didn't Ross just answer a question ?

He didn't have to answer the question.

Pretty sure it is Ross and Tupou who have dropped out of the 21? That's what my league live app says and is always spot on.

One would think that if Feeney is fit then Trent would be playing ISP along with Stockwell.

 

[PhilGould]

Feeney pulled up okay after training and will play. Hodko in reggies.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Today is the last chance a few panthers players can push for an origin jersey. Hopefully they try too hard and fail miserably.
