Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

[perverse]

Gagai's defence has been unreal this year. What happened?

Belief. We had none last year. There's some there this year.

One thing I love about Miller is he looks like he is going to break loose every time he returns the ball, the same sort of feeling you got from Ponga in 2018/19. It's really fun.

 

[K-Man]

Poor from Gagai. Have to be aware of that risk.

 

[K-Man]

Here comes the ill discipline. Can we hold our nerve?

 

[perverse]

I'd love them to mic Gamble up for a game. f**ker never stops chirping away lol.

 

[Jono078]

We might have a nail biting finish coming up..

 

[Jono078]

WOW some big big efforts there!

 

[Alex28]

Great set in defence.

 

[Tom155]

Clear error

 

[perverse]

Great desperation there.

 

[slotmachine]

Leo is a machine in defence, in everything.

How much better do we look with crossland riding the pine

 

[Tom155]

Shambolic from the raiders

 

[Alex28]

They are going on about how good a game Kris has had - he did make a bunch of mistakes in the first half, didn’t he? I’m not imagining that?

 

[Jono078]

I would've liked to go for the try here and send the fans home on a real high.

 

[Apey]

We've been in every game this year. A nice change.

Haha, would have been alright if we actually got the 2.

They’re looking at his output only- the reason he’s run for 10000m is because Hastings keeps kicking to him.

Just some thoughts:

- We look much better than we did last year or in the last 3 or 4 seasons. Our spine is finally a plus not a minus!
- Looks like we actually have an attacking game plan now
- Jones looks better in the middle than on the edge
- Marzhew is going to be fun
- Dan played well
- Best and Gagai playing really well
- Really liked Hastings. He could have stayed down and made a big deal after Jack shoulder charged him in the head but got right back up and ready to play
- Croker needs to be playing more, offers something very different from our other middles, when was the last time we saw a Knights player poke through and SBW offload!!!
- Ponga and Gamble should swap salaries at least until Ponga gets back and plays 3 or 4 games in a row
- We still can't find a goal kicker (Miller might be the answer)
- Hetherington and Elliot hopefully can get back to their best
- If we keep winning and playing well, does Ponga deserve to come straight back in? Gamble has been phenomenal in every aspect
- If we are going to be in the top 8, we can't afford to carry both Mann and Crossland
- Our kicking game has been on point! Looks like we are controlling the game with our kicking game. A HUGE plus!

 

[Jono078]

Ugly finish to this game. This is the bad karma for going for the f**king 2 points.

 

[Burns]

You know, the best thing this year - its all been enjoyable, one way or another. We are entertaining to watch.
