Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Manly @ Glen Willow Regional Stadium, Mudgee

[Yosh]

Bit of rumour going around that Jayden Brailey will be ruled out... Hopefully it's BS

Another injury???

 

[PhilGould]

Updated team

Hunt is out, Dom is in
Brailey still in for now at least
Lucas & Cant remain on extended bench

 

[Yosh]

To be really honest and fair, our performances have been really strong this year. If we put in another really good showing, regardless of the result, I might become a believer.

Of what?

This would be a strong back line with Young and Marzhew if Young wasn't dozing off.
I hope he realises that commitment is a big part of his future.

 

[PhilGould]

I understand why Knights fans want to pick him apart at the moment but his workload and effort with yardage runs had actually slightly improved on last season. That seems like the best area for measuring a winger's "commitment" on the field. Ideally you'd like to see him take even more of those runs but it hasn't regressed from last year. Had a couple of really big effort plays late in round 2 and got picked in a fair few team of the week's across publications because of it (along with his stats).

He had a shocker with his hands vs the Dolphins but he looked just as clueless under the high ball last year.

 

[Yosh]

Of what?

We've actually improved and it's not just another false dawn.

 

[PhilGould]

Same team as reported yesterday with Dom on the wing, Brailey playing & Lucas 18th man.

I’m not a Knights supporter, but if I had to choose a ‘2nd team’ the Knights would be it. Just wondering, does it annoy you guys how often your team wears this garbage away jersey?

It’s one of my least favourite in the comp and they wear it waaaay too often. Yes, they’re the ‘away’ team today, but their home clashes much less than their away does against Manly, as it does against quite a few other teams that have white in their kit.

I’d love to see you guys bring back the vertical stripes, and simply invert the red and blue for the away.

Go the Knights!

Jeez that was lazy defence

 

[slotmachine]

Miller still playing touch, wanted nothing to do with that. Lol

 

[Tom155]

Wtf Miller, Lost all positioning there

DLine total garbage too

 

[perverse]

Even playing touch he doesn't get him there, lol.

 

[Haffa]

Boys have come to play today!

 

[Tom155]

Best/Gamble/Frizz awful tackle attempts

 

[perverse]

Gamble's contact on the 11 needed to be much stronger. He had a clean shot at him.

 

[K-Man]

That’s some next level shocking defence. Just no intensity whatsoever from the whole edge. Lazy in the 4th minute.

Also imagine if we had an edge forward like that. What a difference it makes to have strike power in that position.

Manly have certainly come with the plan to beat us up again. I mean why not, it always works out for them. Let's see how we respond to it this year.
