Match Discussion: Round 11 vs Roosters @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Pedge1971]

What do we think about going for penalty goals as often as we do?
I don’t mind for a few reasons. They have been adding up to a fair amount of points.
Unlike the last few years, we don’t have as much trouble getting to the attacking 20.
Will be interesting to see what we do if behind on the scoreboard by 4-10points and we get similar penalties.

I am ok with it as they took the right option to go for the try in the 1st half when they scored to go to 16 to 6.

Cowboys beat Raiders so we stay in the top 4.

Minor groin injury flare up. Won't be able to train until late in the week so unlikely to be picked for Origin but shouldn't be a problem for the Knights.

Perfect timing really, the bye will give him chance to rest up and get it better

Cows won - we are 4th!
Sorry, dupe.

Still 4th*

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Still 4th*

Still but confirmed with equal games.
Unfortunately, it won't take much to drop out of the top 4.

I say take the 2 every time. There was an article looking at the premiers of the last few years and they are always the most penalised or there abouts.

Its a tactic no doubt. Look at JWH last night on Ponga in front of the posts. He's give away 2 points confident that they can defend against a try on a repeat set. Taking the 2 every time is often the difference at the end of the game.

I wish the refs would start sin binning.

True but at least we're in the 8!

Geez I hope we can stay there. I reckon we are capable of beating any team but I also think most any team can beat another on their day.
I'll be happy if we give it to Wayne Bunnyit against Souths. Maybe he might actually praise the Knights for once.

About as likely as a couple of posters giving Brown credit.

They did last week remember

 

[Knight Vision]

That really annoyed me. First off, the ball was dropped in the tackle, that’s why our guys stayed on a bit longer, to see if the touchie saw it, then Tedesco takes it a metre to the side for a quick tap (the guy who got tackled was on the mark still).

I was at this time going bezerk

sticky's intensity is already wearing on them not even halfway through the season.

Brown mentioned in the Press Conference that he was carrying a groin niggle.

I wouldnt mind niggling Pearce’s groin thanks to the form he has been in the past few weeks.

Zac Woolford was less discriminatory re form, back in October. Why would Pearce look any further than Monday’s opposed session with “Canterbury” Cup?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Fittler and Sterlo on the Footy Show saying they saw nothing wrong with the tackles on Ponga.. LOL

 

[Zoidberg]

Saw that. Surely we aren’t seeing this through red and blue glasses. It was late and trying to slam Pongas head

 

[Knight Vision]

Spare a thought for Lamb. Was given the keys to the Ferrari last night and didnt know how to get it out of first gear.

it was late but certainly not the latest tackle we've ever seen, so I can see how some may say nothing wrong.

What was bad about that tackle is you can see JWH distribute his weight to the tip of his shoulder into KP's head driving it into the ground - that was deliberate. Just as well Klemmernator wasnt on the field at the time otherwise it may have got real nasty.

Nah, f**k him.

Dally M votes: Mitchell Pearce 3, Kalyn Ponga 2, David Klemmer 1

Pearce is in outright first place now
