Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Brisbane @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

[Alex28]

We're really unimpressive tonight. Really poor and almost undeserving of the lead.

You really only have one mode huh.

 

[K-Man]

See there from the offload, instead of immediately switching into try-scoring mode we all stood around thinking it was nice to get those extra metres but someone take the tackle because we're setting up a play for later. No, just go for it right there, the defensive line is not set, everyone click into gear. The good teams have already scored before we come up with the error from Randall's dummy half pass.

 

[Knight Tales]

Playing like a side trying to merely get the result.

Ponga is a couple of tiers below Tedesco, Turbo and co.

He's not on their level yet, no. They can do what they do against anyone, any time.

 

[Burwood]

With regards to the try, when the Brisbane player touches the ball, isn’t Best entitled to tackle him? He can’t release him straight away.

I think we did show up sorta expecting it to just happen tonight. It's very typical Knights stuff.

Yes, but I'd say he held on quite a bit too long after he clearly knew old mate didn't have the ball too.

Ennis and Voss are PAINFUL tonight

 

[Burns]

Hoping for some Ponga action in the next 10min. Time to ice it.

We are deadset our own worst enemy

Edit: thankfully so are they

We need it. It's what he's there for, and we're missing it right now.

We are a 7th to 10th place team. As a forum, we need to lower our expectations and enjoy the odd wins we get.

Frizz running very hard tonight

he just, needs the ball more?

In that set he got the ball on the 4th, and just did the half step he has done all game? Has been very well marked this game I suppose.

 

[perverse]

I don't mind us continue to grind Brisbane here. We still need the points, but getting repeat sets and keeping the ball is somethign foreign to us as well.

BARNETT

So we should try firing him on attacking line on the edge against their half and centre. Instead we just send him underneath all the time.

 

[Burns]

FINALLY

Yes, they're on him - but it's up to him to get into positions to receive it as a fullback too. Been plenty of opportunities for him to run support and get an offload tonight.

Well that's the problem right there. I believe we have a 5th to 8th place roster, and I expect most coaches in the NRL would agree.
