Match Discussion: Round 20 vs Warriors @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Apey]

Peak Newcastle Knights. Hope you all had a happy Newcastle Knights afternoon everyone.

We nearly would have been better off not chasing from our line to block the drop goal. Just stand there and watch him attempt it. Tanah Boyd doesn't have the talent to nail a 40m field goal.

I've never seen a charge down loose ball fall so kindly like that to a bloke with momentum.

 

[Zoidberg]

What did we do to deserve this?

 

[MakeItStop85]

Yeah I need to log off….
F*ck this club and f*ck the NRL

 

[Zoidberg]

we shouldn’t have been in that position. Penalty against Hastings was a joke, but it won’t get talked about now because he missed the goal. Still we should’ve had a 20m tap with 90seconds to go.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Anyone else feel suicidal over this club?

Deadset, there is ZERO light at the end of this tunnel

No but I definitely don't have the energy to care anymore after that loss.

You're right though, there's just nothing to look forward to. Coach is a dud, roster is a mess, club is cursed with injuries. Only so much the downtrodden fans can take.

ChatGPT, create a 15 second in-play sequence that encapsulates the modern Newcastle Knights experience.

Yep, Chat, you nailed it.

I guess one positive as it won’t be a reason to save AOB. I could see the board giving him an out for beating a “top 4 side” even though the Wahs are ok but not that great.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Attrition had a bit to that ending. Gags struggling. They let it get to them and went asleep.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

How many ways can this club find to hurt us

Its like they're trying to do it. At least it feels that way.

In which case, you have to give them credit. They're bloody good at it.

 

[mozza91]

I’m sick of watching EVERY other club improve eg Raiders, Bulldogs even the Tigers yet here we are…. Constantly sucking with no chance of ever improving because they are happy just playing first grade and getting about town like rock stars

A bunch of injuries, most of the squad are crook. Today was a great effort against a Top 4 side.
Also the Tigers aren’t getting any better did you see their game today?

 

[Woody90]

I’m not even mad at them to be honest. Just gutted. They’ve had a week from absolute hell but still tried their guts out. Awful way to lose. Would have felt better if they’d packed it in.

Edit: just saw the wahs last try again and saw Leo and Brailey’s laziness and now I’m mad at them. f**k them off.

The week from hell is abit dramatic. No doubt the tap ass happened at the worst time but I doubt a journo fabricating a few stories has much of an effect on the squad.

I knew with absolute confidence we were in for a heartbreaking loss after watching them bomb about 18 points in the first half.

 

[Apey]

Lol all you can do is laugh really. I think I must just be dead on the inside from this team.

A journo fabricating a few stories is putting it lightly. It’s been a complete pile on from all angles.

True. Hopefully the players are smart enough to see through it.
Actually they’re footy players so they absolutely wouldn’t be smart enough.

You have the right idea re talent.

But you can’t not contest.

 

[Knight Tales]

These opinions are off the chart tonight. Unbelievable that you cannot all see these boys were struggling and still turned up. WTAF do you expect? That final play was pure luck. Dylan Brown plays tonight he makes that tackle. Cheer up. Best defensive half in the game.
