Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Panthers @ Campbelltown

[slotmachine]

Can't be angry when Burton hits the post.

71 tackles Randall 51 tackles Jones on debut

Klem and Dan both over 200m

BRAVE.

 

[perverse]

I'd prefer anyone in our squad out there instead of Mann. Has always been a spud, will always be a spud. Never wanted him, couldn't figure out why we signed him, would love to see the back of him.

This O'Brien bloke might be a coach hey

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I thought this would turn ugly quick, but our defence is really holding...

If we can get a lucky try next and bring it to 14-6, it could really break the spirit of the Panthers

Im calling a draw

God im good.

 

[General Knight]

I dont get the hate on edrick.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

We get the moral victory!

The Knights' gutsiest performance almost ever.

 

[Silent Knight]

I’m getting too old for this sh*t. Proud as punch though.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Unbelievable performance.

Haven’t been on the edge of my seat like that in a decade.

This is what we have been waiting for.

 

[perverse]

Yeah the tenacity shown in that performance was something else. They dug out of a very, very deep hole there. If we can get a decent rub with injuries from here it should be a really good year for us.

 

[Old dog]

Excellent effort by all, thought we were in real trouble but to keep them scoreless second half considering two player down, strong stuff

 

[Spot On]

Simply incredible performance today.

Level of fitness and heart like that has not been part of the club for eons.

Up, up Obi and the squad.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

In a team missing our 3 main playmakers (Ponga, Pearce and Watson) it was great to see that the only thing we lacked was a good kick and a sharp line attack.

Everything that didn’t specifically depend on those 3 (defence, metres, general confidence) were all top notch

 

[Alex28]

Can Shibasaki play wing at all?

Edrick has done his job over the last few years, but the talent in the club is overtaking him...

Tex to 6 - what a halves pairing!

1. Ponga 6. Hoy 7. Pearce 9 Randall from now on.

 

[Johns Magic]

I'd prefer anyone in our squad out there instead of Mann. Has always been a spud, will always be a spud. Never wanted him, couldn't figure out why we signed him, would love to see the back of him.

I won’t criticise anyone tonight. He isn’t a playmaker but Mann can hold his head up.

I don’t think he is our guy for the 6 though. Hoy was a go-er today.

 

[slotmachine]

Funny thing is we probably didn't miss Brailey in a game like that. Randall would have kept tackling till he passed out

 

[perverse]

1. Ponga 6. Hoy 7. Pearce 9 Randall from now on.

Randall certainly didn't embarass himself. Incredible effort in defense. I'd take Hoy on a peg leg with an eye patch over Mann in the 6.

 

[Jono078]

Mann was far from perfect but I think it's very harsh on him. He has a certain role within the squad and today he was forced to go far above that role, he still did some good things for us.

Hoy showed he is a natural footy player and looks comfortable as a kicker, he will be our #6 before too long I think.

 

[Knight Vision]

Mann did better than I thought he would.

We are a genuine 5/8 play maker away from being a contender IMO.
