Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Haffa]

How many rebuilds do we require to stop being so frail?!

 

[perverse]

Gavet and Herman now

Gavet has been a liability for a long while now... I'm not sure how he keeps getting a gig tbh.

Gavet and Herman now

It started with Watson f**king around at marker trying to milk something. Meant he was out of play, leaving us short in D

We are a joke

 

[K-Man]

We just can’t deal with anything at all going against us. We completely crack it.

The worst part is that the score is not even slightly surprising. Even at 12-0 we were always a few bad minutes away from a collapse.

I think we’re done. Bye bye finals.

 

[Loose Cannon]

There aren’t enough expletives.

He gave away the penalty that got them down there too.

Ponga shooting out didn’t help.

 

[Zoidberg]

No line speed in defence after 10mins. We thought we’d towel them up after 2 quick tries. We need to kick out and start our sets in d from a scrum start.

 

[perverse]

I hate to level it at the blokes that aren't doing anything wrong per se... but we need something extra/inspirational from our leadership group to spark the duds. Pearce, Klemmer, Ponga... these blokes need to guide this pack of pea hearts home.

Not that they're doing anything wrong, but with what we pay them... it's not too much of a stretch to ask for something a bit special when required either. Yes, others are f**king things up... but we're paying them a pie and coke for the most part too.

A big part of being a mentally resilient team has to be some direction from the leaders. As it stands, we make one mistake and continuously compound it.

 

[Burns]

Have we played a good second half this year when behind at halftime?

 

[Frederick]

This is feeling very much like the Bulldogs game.

I can't wait for Buhrer to come on. He'll save us!

 

[Sydney Knight]

This team is so mentally weak it's not funny.

Luke Brooks gets bagged constantly by Tigers fans for being hopeless and he's landed every kick on a dime and is given the space to look like Andrew Johns/Peter Sterling.

 

[Apey]

Mann at 6 again isn't good. Not sure who you'd have in his place besides trying to move Watson out of his good position.

Serious plodder who needs replacing asap.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Wheels have fallen off since around the 20 minute mark, wtf are we doing?

0 wins from the 6 games we have been behind at the half. So, no.

 

[Burns]

Who else felt comfortable or started to relax after 12-0? Just had that feeling that the players would relax like the Bulldogs game and lose focus.

Same thing weve done that last 4 weeks - collapsed in an absolute heap

 

[K-Man]

Honestly don’t think we’re mentally tough enough to fight back now in this game.

Skill wise we can. But I don’t have any faith in the coach or these players putting in 40 minutes of aggression and quality to save their season. I just don’t see it.

The ridiculous part is that our team does seem to get complacent in games. But we have done nothing and proved nothing. We’re still a laughing stock if we miss the finals this year. Getting complacent is pathetic when you’re the Knights.
