Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Melbourne @ AAMI Park

[Loose Cannon]

Well, if we let them score any more, we can't win the premiership.

Not an issue. Our defence is solid.

 

[Yosh]

I don't think I can support the club anymore if Mann is a starter week in week out.

 

[Haffa]

You're giving all the other shit teams in the comp too much credit

Idk we lost to the Tigers….twice.

 

[perverse]

Prior to this match I had convinced myself we're capable of winning 7 in a row after tonight.

Now I think we're more likely to lose all 7.

This isn't illustrative of what we can do against Brisbane, Dogs, etc. We'll need our best players on the field - especially Pearce and Ponga - but this isn't necessarily the end. A towel up was always highly probable here... I just wish I wasn't naive enough to think we'd make the Storm earn it a bit.

 

[Haffa]

Nice knowing you, Yosh.

You'd continue to be naive to think we aim up for these "lesser" teams, to be honest.

lol, well that's true too.

 

[Jono078]

We tackle like we're a team full of Tyrannosaurus Rexes.

 

[Seage]

Tuala is a turnstile.
We're also making Nicho Hynes look like Andrew Johns out there.

 

[perverse]

Fox with their fingers on the Knights fans pulse, plugging their mental health website. Cheers guys, will have a look.

 

[Yosh]

Two man strip no??

Week 1 for me.

 

[perverse]

Two man strip no??

Looked like it yeah, but we've had a good 5 or 10 calls go against us tonight. Doesn't make a shit of difference to the result, it's just the salt in the wound that you get when getting towelled up by the Storm.

 

[Haffa]

He tried to strip that. What a joke.

 

[Jono078]

Positive for the night.

I'm really impressed we haven't let them crack 50.

 

[perverse]

The Storm are really going to regret not putting the 50 on us tonight when we destroy them in the finals on our way to the premiership.

 

[Seage]

Nice to see Kalyn spending quality time with the opposition on the field after the game.
This loss will obviously stay with him, deeply affecting him as he stews on it back at the resort.

 

[Zoidberg]

Ok, I didn’t get to see the game. Before I go back to read this thread, WTF happened?

The Knights decided to Knight, basically.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Bellamy is good...but how good? Success at Newcastle good? I would love to find out. He sucked at Origin level but at Melbourne it has gone far beyond the idea that his players make him look good.

Heaven and Earth need to be moved to get him here. Would be the ultimate challenge for him.
