Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Cronulla @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Zoidberg]

Is there a set where the sharks don’t get a penalty or set restart?

 

[Apey]

750K would buy us Liam Martin

He only plays well in big games like Origin and finals. So he'd be useless to us.

 

[perverse]

That was an awful, awful kick from Kalyn.

 

[Knight Tales]

That is laughable.

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

Losing Ponga would mark the lowest point for the club and signal abject failure. I also don't think it would be the worse thing but the consequence is dire.

the optics to the Knights brand would be devastating, hard to imagine any player wanting to invest their career in Newcastle.

We are witnessing a failure in management over a number of years to capitalize on a generational player.

I feel sorry for Ponga

 

[Apey]

That is laughable.

Have a read of Panthers fans opinions on him.

Then have a look at his stats.

Hes a big game specialist, invisible elsewhere.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Not with our response.

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

I’d pay him 1.3 mill for 10.

yep we are that desperate. To think we could have got Katoa or Payne or Galvin or any number of young play makers.

Love the Raiders recruitment at the moment. They're building nicely.

It’s interesting a maverick, albeit deeply flawed, former owner nearly got us to where we should be. Tinkler had a sack
And then some. I miss his bravado.

I don’t feel sorry for Ponga at all. He gets paid 1.4 mill to put in once a month currently.

I feel sorry for the thousands of people that show up week after week paying their hard earned money to have this shit consistently served up to them. I’m lucky I don’t live in Newcastle or I’d be there with them.

And FTR I’m not usually one that has an issue with Kalyn’s salary…although it can’t be ignored either.

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

jeez dude, put down the pipe, crack is bad for you.

Martin one the best in his position I've seen play the game.

I reckon this'll be my last year as a paying member. I can't keep doing it to myself, and Dylan Brown ain't fixing this at all

I don’t care what those fans think. They are spoilt brats. Zero class. Arrogant, The guy is a beast and would not tolerate what we dish up.

f**k this, I'm walking out for the second week in a row lol

He immediately went about getting the best to do a job.

Wests have zero experience in managing an NRL club, and been on a steep learning curve.

Honest question, do you actually watch other teams play outside of finals?

 

[Knight Tales]

14 points in a month!

Wests marrying themselves to Adam O'Brien for half a decade (more coming too) for zero reward is 100% a root part of the cause and it'll be difficult to convince me otherwise. He's a dud that got us to play good footy for 10 weeks in 5 years (mainly because Kalyn Ponga caught fire in a rare purple patch).

We keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. He has to go. He won't, but until he does nothing dramatic will change. This is us under O'Brien. This is normal.

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

not every game but watch the 2 games of the round

 

[Loose Cannon]

f**k this, I'm walking out for the second week in a row lol

The fact you purchased tickets is the true measure of your character. Saint.
