Match Discussion: Round 6 vs St Geo Illa @ WIN Stadium

[aqua_duck]

Not fair on JSaf. Was talked about for Origin last year until he got injured

And you just know Bellamy would make them all above average 1st graders

both him and Daniel both look like they're just going through the motions at the moment, neither are running off the back fence or even fighting for a quick PTB

Practically missed that first half but what I did see, seemed pretty ugly. Although we're moving the ball again which is nice.

And I'm glad the Knights have pulled their offer. You have to take a stance at some point.

I'm wondering if the club thinks they can call his bluff at this stage. It's basically saying look mate, we're done with the bullshit. You've got the options there - if you want to stay, stay. If you want to go, then piss off.

That's indeed how it seems. The club can't be seen as a pushover so I'm happy they made this decision. Would be stoked with Munster as much as he's a massive prong.

His head might not have fully been on the game but I reckon Ponga was hindered by that injury. He is moving much more freely now.

I can't imagine Munster coming here in a million years... but I guess you have to make a play at him if you have the money to do so. I know who I'd prefer to tie $1.3 million a year up with.

 

[Jono078]

Not to take this thread too off-topic but I don't see why we wouldn't be a chance at Munster. He has ties with AOB and Gagai. He'd be 29 or 30 when he comes here. He could be Gagai V2. Come here in his later years as a fully developed player and kill it before retiring in beautiful Newcastle.

Let's see what we've got in this second half! Hope to see Simi get some solid time and do some nice things. He does look a much better fit (physically) to #13 than Mann.

Could see Munster (or anyone) taking $1.2m+ at the Knights instead of $750k at the Storm, but surely the Dolphins offer would be pretty similar. We won't win that battle.

Also he's not off contract until 2024.

Lol Ponga.

 

[Tom155]

Terrible pass

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Lee looks exhausted.

 

[Jono078]

I say it every week. Goes for the big spectacular pass every week when he couple play more simple and be much more effective.

Also noticed his positioning to clean up kicks isn't really better this week either.

 

[Knight Tales]

Our support play is forever a source of extreme annoyance. If someone was off Friz then we are under the posts.

 

[Tom155]

Can’t buy a penalty right now

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

GAGAI

 

[perverse]

Take a bow Gags. That was huge work.

 

[Tom155]

Very nice try

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Great try. Gagai not great today but that was special.

 

[PhilGould]

Brilliant from Gagai

 

[Jono078]

Nice try!

That try shows what a bit of urgency, playing football, and supporting the runner can deliver.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Friz hasn't had a lot of the ball but damn he has been good. Showing control and class.
