Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

Yeah he can’t blame AOB for his errors.

Yosh will find a way to blame AOB for KP’s errors.

I just don't get how they can be this bad. It's a coaches responsibility to prepare the team. Do we look prepared? We've held the ball for like 40 minutes this year. Just piss weak mental midgets. This isn't a player talent issue. There's plenty of talent out there on the field.

 

[Haffa]

it's games like this that remind you of the lack of natural leaders in the team. No player that sticks the hand up and says "follow me" - besides the lack of talent in the spine it's the #1 issue.

Has been the same for a decade.

Pick a best 17 from the half time entertainment and leave them on for the second half, couldn’t do worse.

4/5 games that we haven't scored a point in the first half... Something's gotta give surely.

 

[Yosh]

Kalyn’s worst game in years.

Wasn't it his worst game in years last week?

It’s so obvious the club needs a change. AOB might be the right coach but it’s not for now. 5 years is too long. These players need to hear the message from someone else.

 

[Apey]

If you didn’t see this coming you’re not a Knights supporter.

I have Tigers 1 - 12, it's not looking good.

This x1000 is the second biggest problem behind not having a halfback. It's why we have these games where the whole side is absent, mentally.

Yep. Stagnant. Not moving forwards. We've been treading water for years.

it needs to be a forward. Elliott was the closest we had to that guy.

No leaders, s**t coach, no halves. That's a bad combination.

 

[Apey]

Where is Ponga??? Wtf is going on with him?

I'm at the game. He's 100% dogging it. But we also seem to purposefully playing away from him too. Real big brain stuff.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

A Chief Harragon or Steve Simpson type would be massive for the side.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I know it's been said a thousand times but this club doesn't deserve its supporters

Don’t they have an inclusive game on at halftime? Surely they couldn’t do worse.

losing Tapine was a big sliding doors moment wasn’t it.

 

[Apey]

It's on him to go get the ball. He's our captain, and the only time he touched the ball in the red zone in 2 straight sets was to drop it. I dunno what the f**k is going on with him but he's cooked at the moment.

Id argue the only times he's got the ball this game is catching it from kicks and when someone's passed it to him when he was hoping to avoid it, lol.

 

[Alex28]

Has the drop off coincided with the Brown announcement and all the media and speculation that has gone around it - including a new contract or departure for KP?

KP needs to step up and lead - both on and off the field. He is the guy - there is no one else there to do it.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Our worst is the worst in the league by a long way. Our best is good but all comes from one player when he feels like it. The balance in the side is all messed up.
