Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Raiders @ Campbelltown Stadium

[Zoidberg]

Brilliant work by Best. Definitely a penalty try

 

[Silent Knight]

Simple Jack strikes again. Makes me muh muh happy.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

10 point lead at half time

 

[Zoidberg]

Great half. All over them so far.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

We are playing great footy. Their errors have helped us. I reckon it will come down to our defence.

Bradman is a God

Ponga has already made 179m holy shit

Our worst player each week is performing at a 6 or 7 out of 10, rather than a 3 or 4 out of 10. You love to see it. I hope they go on with this in the second half. Defence has been the best highlight, they've only scored off a big catch on a kick.

What kind of twisted world has 2020 become?

This is the Knights team we've dreamed of for decades and no one can go and watch them!

It's so nice watching us now, I love the competitiveness and we don't take a back step to anyone, we aim up and give it to whoever is in front of us!

Hope we continue it the second half.

 

[Loose Cannon]

This team (and coach) are the real deal, people.

Enjoy it. We have waited enough.

 

[PhilGould]

Be interesting to see how they use Tex. Wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't get on the field if it remains close.

 

[Jono078]

Shoutout to McCullough too, hasn't been with the team long and match fitness not there, but he's done really well and will only get better for us. Will end up being a good buy for the year.

Tuala has been rock solid for us in every game but I feel he needs to add maybe 5kg of muscle.

Edrick Lee is a really damn confident player - wouldn't say he's the best winger but it's great to see someone out wide with that kind of confidence.

Mann has done ok too, he seems to get outside his opposite number quite easily so that could open up some opportunities in this second half.

 

[K-Man]

Outstanding half of football. So far I'll be eating some delicious humble pie. Let's keep it up for another 40 minutes.

Slightly worried it will come down to Ponga's missed conversion, but that's the negativity creeping in. We need to make it as hard as possible for the Raiders to sniff an opportunity to get back in the game. Control the ball, no silly mistakes, basically keep doing what we're doing without panicking.

I'd like to see our halves show some better composure in attack. A few more tries could seal it.

 

[Jono078]

I'm getting annoyed with the 6 agains, Raiders getting the rub there and we just got some late ones in the first half when wasn't really effective.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

When Ponga comes up Mann goes out wider. We essentially have two 6s.

Be interesting to see how they use Tex. Wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't get on the field if it remains close.

If he does he'll go to 6 with Mann at 9. I reckon we need another try first.
I'd be tempted to go Hoy 1, Mann 9 and Ponga 6 (he is playing there a lot now) but I reckon Ponga needs a break - looking a bit tired and needing to step back for an understandable break.

 

[PhilGould]

Hymel doesn't get much attention but he is as safe as they come.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

EDRICK

 

[Jono078]

They're right hand defense can't contain us.

Onya Ederick! Took a confident bloke to go for it from there!

 

[Alex28]

Happy for Edrick. Good game so far.

 

[Zoidberg]

Just wow!
