Thank god Kurt Mann is back with that softcock contact on the line. Really wrapped the ball up on that one.

 

[Alex28]

There was two players in that tackle for long enough to have called the tackle. Doesn’t excuse the poor defence to let Young score, but the strip could have easily have been a penalty.

I see it's the refs fault the side is shit again

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Should have given that to Best but a repeat set is OK.

 

[Jono078]

DSaf and Marzhew our best in the opening 10.

 

[slotmachine]

Doing a lot better than I expected coming out of our end, winning the field position battle

 

[Jono078]

The spine spreading the ball amongst themselves and Gagai with final nice touch.

 

[perverse]

We're definitely showing a lot more shape in attack this year. Much more organised in that regard. We just suck at passing the football most of the time.

 

[Alex28]

Good play. Everyone looks up for it. Bradman seems to have taken note that if Dom can be dropped, so can he…

Loving see them throw the ball around a bit and try some different kicks

I don’t care if some of them don’t work, at least they are trying something

 

[Burwood]

Good to see Marzhew pin the ears back and go for the corner- he bombed a few tries in the trials by stepping back inside and getting tackled.

They're throwing it around more because they're actually set to do so. We're slipping into shape a lot more frequently, and it's giving the ballplayers some options.

 

[Jono078]

Frizell isn't looking so fit to me..

 

[Tom155]

Good work there

 

[Alex28]

This is the Bradman Best we’ve been waiting for!

 

[Jono078]

Gee whiz they've come out with some attitude today.. It's very un-Knights like. But it's a joy - so far!

 

[perverse]

Mann needs to be in the 14 when Ponga is back, or left-right-out. Gamble, despite being super limited as a half, would do a much better job than Mann in the 13.

I'm liking everything else I'm seeing though. They're going good.

 

[Allstar Knights]

Best has been great this year. Can definitely see an attitude adjustment from him.

I’m fully expecting 2 quick tries from raiders before halftime and the final score to be 16-36

and we will say “oh boy, we were right in it for a good 50mins of that game”
