We're honestly lucky we're playing Canterbury who are the only team with worse attack than us. We've had a tonne of ball in the red zone and the best we could come up with is 2 tries off kicks. Whoever is coaching the attack should not collect a pay cheque because the attack is non existent, we're making a team that's conceded over 650 points this year look like the 2019 roosters defensively

What has the Knights club done to Greg Alexander? Really can’t say anything positive about us…

Eh, we've said "we're honestly lucky that we're playing x" nearly every game we've won this year. That's just us. If we win, it's typically ugly and by dragging others down to our level - because we can't go up to theirs.

At least we can get in the trenches and keep working at the moment. Ain't gonna win us a premiership, but it's what we should build on top of moving forward. Our attack is dogshit, it's not gonna change dramatically in a couple of weeks. The players don't look like they know what to do a lot of the time.

If it is he shouldn't have a job. I'm honestly struggle to remember a side which is so poorly coached in attack, I know there's teams that have scored more points but that's down to personnel, our lack of points is purely down to coaching. A few times players have made half breaks and zero support, there's no bodies in motion, nothing. If you told me these guys have never trained together I'd believe you

In this instance it's not an exaggeration, we're playing a historically bad team

Ah f**k that set. Both halves go to our backrowers in nothing plays. Then we attack right through Mann to finish the set. Fmd. So bad.

That just cannot be the gameplan, can't be the strategy can it? It seems to be - because we do it over and over. I just don't see the point. What are we trying to do? I get doing it every now and then to mix things up - but we literally do it 99 times in 100.
