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

[Nuke]

Not picking on the bloke, but Crossland keeps doing this little quickstep shimmey after picking the ball up at dummy half before passing. Surely slows everything down after that, when a pass from the ground would be best?
Plus, it telegraphs which way the play's going.

 

[Apey]

I'm cold and this team sucks.

 

[aqua_duck]

Does any team get intercepted as much as we do?

That is a result of poor structure and communication as much as bad decision making

Take the 2. Just kidding don’t do that.

Starting to think that would've been be a great idea

 

[K-Man]

We should kick on with it from here. Manly are understaffed enough I think.

Common sense goes out the window when it comes to the Knights. We were always going to come up with something to get them back in the game, and we have.

The entire performance is the result of poor coaching as far as I'm concerned. It should never come to this against this opposition.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

That's a penalty surely...

 

[slotmachine]

Well we should win from here but really don't deserve anything. Absolute garbage

 

[K-Man]

Panic. Panic. Panic. Totally unnecessary passing like that. Any half decent football scores on their right edge.

 

[Nuke]

Try to Crossland??

Phoenix & Jack do something good only just but still i'll take it

 

[Burns]

Redemption for Crossland haha

 

[perverse]

Crossland finally finds himself in the right place instead of the wrong place.

 

[Nuke]

A 'Knights' kinda try. Messy. Ugly. Disorganised. But thankfully 4 points, now 6, to us.

Kind of reminded me of the Kurt Mann try against the warriors, derping their way to a try

 

[K-Man]

Why don't we just play normal football in this situation? Punch a few holes, work over the middle, hit the edges with some depth and structure? We've got lucky but the holes should be opening up rather than resorting to this panic stricken attack. We look utterly petrified to even do the basics in attack.

lol it's hard to imagine Phoenix scoring a pretty try.

 

[Haffa]

cripple fight.

That's a better way to describe it.
Much better than I put it.
