Match Discussion: Round 13 vs Canterbury @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Woody90]

It’s interesting rewatching the highlights from our wins this season. Bradman does a lot for us. Hes clearly in the best shape he’s ever been in. The try against the tigers obviously showed his strength. But if you watch the dolphins game, he has a few moments (as well as getting burnt for a try) where he shows his speed and his strength. Highly recommend a rewatch on YouTube with eyes on Best

Yeah I really rate Best and don’t really understand a lot of the views that he’s over rated. To me he’s a complete centre. He’s powerful, fast, works hard, is always there and can pop the ball away to his winger. He obviously has had some defensive issues but I think he and Marzhew have really worked hard that edge isn’t letting in nearly as many tries as it used to. He got burnt once in the Dolphins game, but I noticed he never missed him again.

I hope Maps absolutely kills it, but it will be hard for him to offer what Best does. If he can just have a solid game defensively I’ll see that as a huge win.

This year Best has picked up a lot of the slack left by Dom in yardage sets. His carries have been huge for the team.

He obviously has had some defensive issues

Not anymore he doesn't, I rate him as one of the best defensive centres in the comp now.

Considering he is covering for the slowest player in the NRL on the inside, and a bloke who only makes a tackle by accident on his outside, he is very very rarely beaten.

Best is class. Love the bloke. Bleeds red and blue as well.

How's Maps been going in cup? Should I be excited or concerned?

Excited because Maps playing means Jenkins isn't!

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Friz off the bench. I'd rather see hi start. He can do a full 80 in less he's carrying an injury.

 

[Knight Tales]

Maps having a huge game will probably see him join Canberra.

Or the Roosters. They love taking a swipe at our outside backs.

 

[Apey]

Rain has started here. Advantage, us.

 

[Yosh]

Come on Knights!!! Let's put 60 on them again!!!!

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

If our forwards aren't fired up and dialed in for this game, they never will be.

 

[perverse]

I'm anxious that we'll come out half-assed after a break.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Let's go boys!!!!!!!!

 

[Rod]

As someone who doesn't live in Australia, would it be fair to say this has been the worst start to a season weather-wise in some time?

 

[perverse]

I like what i'm seeing in the first few sets. We look switched on.

Hastings does dumb shit

 

[perverse]

Miserable kick from Jacko. God imagine having a good kicking game in the team.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

We lack a truly good half.

 

[Haffa]

Hastings is brain dead at times.
