Match Discussion: Round 16 vs Dragons @ UOW Jubilee Oval

[Spot On]

Yes. There were times where he let players ghost past him without even attempting to stick an arm out

So what is this f**king blokes deal? Piss him off.

Make it happen Brown.

Why does he continually get a free ride?

Over him.

 

[Alex28]

Does it though? You just knew when we took the 2 it was going to lead to complacency.

I just shake my head these days

I get taking the 2. Meant they needed to score 4 times to win with the wind behind them.

It was the right tactic.

Wouldn't have been if Lafai was binned for a professional foul which apparently is only mandatory except when you are playing the Knights...

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Stats are showing 54 to 22 missed tackles against us. Both Gagai and Levi with 8.
Their highest was Widdop with 5 and next highest 3.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

My team for next week

1. Meaney
2. Ross
3. Elliot
4. Pete Mat
5. Sio/Gagai
6. Lamb
7. Hodkinson
8. Daifiti
9. Levi
10. King
11. Sione
12. Fitzgibbon
13. Buhrer

14. Tom Starling
15. Barnett
16. Jacob Saifiti
17. Yates/mataora/Pauli/paea

Barnett has been underwhelming lately, needs to drop back the the bench. Meaney needs to be rewarded for his good efforts. Tom starling is an upgrade on Randell. Mataora only played 20 minutes today so not sure what was with that. Hodkinson has been playing well in nsw cup to push feeney back out of the team. Gagai to wing or dropped where he belongs.

 

[Johns Magic]

Get Cogger on there before Hodko

 

[Apey]

Gagai reserve grade plz

 

[Apey]

We have nobody on our team that can get momentum back for us. Josh McCrone did it for us in the first half. We are absolutely horrid as soon as that momentum turns. The other team realises at half time we're barely first grade standard and almost always have players that have another level, or at least can return to their usual level that is much higher than ours. As JM said we're missing a leader but we also have no gamebreakers. We needed another momentum shift and McCrone tried hard but we need someone in our team who can do it.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

We need a fullback. I'd agree with Meaney or go Elliot. Ross was way out of position.
They'll justify Gagai in the team based on ARM but he is a deadset defensive liability. He's a finisher and should only be on the wing. Brown won't see it that way and will want to get his hands on the ball more.

 

[Spot On]

f**k Gags off.

No point at all playing him.

I want to see Brown uphold a standard here. Hodko got flicked. Gags needs the same wake up call. He's ripping us off.

Time the media give their darling a bit of stick.

The media have no idea. They'll probably say that he was one of our best.

 

[Johns Magic]

The media have no idea. They'll probably say that he was one of our best.

Then random fans of other clubs on here will claim he's the only Knight putting in each week.

Had to laugh when Ennis said it was a good idea from brown to move gagai back to centre against Lafai as we needed a good defender against him.

They probably don't watch our games. I'm pretty sure the blokes on NRL 360 don't. I'm sure Gagai and the team's effort will be labelled 'brave'.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I've been suspect about our tackling technique for a while.
At times we muscle in and push them back but at other times, particularly against bigger guys and those with good leg drive they push through with PCM. Then we get someone finally around the legs. Something needs to change there.

 

[slotmachine]

Gagai, Levi and sione with 22 missed tackles.

Dan another big game, he's the only player in our side consistently worth feeding.

Ross obviously.

Fitz had a good 15 minute spell.

So why havent QLD played him at centre Ennis you deadshit.

Been a problem for years and I thought Brown was aware. Obviously not.

 

[Glendale]

Great quote from the RossDog:

'I'd say back to the drawing board, but I think we're all out of paper'

Backwards steps on the rebuild today. Well maybe not backwards, but nowhere near forwards. Simply need to win these games, we have had 18 months of learning experiences.

I greatly respect Browns words and vision but I'd be f***ed proving he's got anything to show for it.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Brown indicating Ross will stay at fullback.
Buhrer and Wardle hopeful for next week. Stone possible.
Yates injured. I think I heard possible ACL.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Gagais defence is too bad so he's not a centre. His positional play is way to bad for him to be a fullback. He can play wing but 750k is waaay to much for a winger. The blokes a dead set fraud.
