Match Discussion: Round 9 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville

[Sir Galahad]

Joey goes on to talk about how not many young players watch footy these days - I find it kind of bizarre. I understand it's their job and you probably don't want to consume it 24/7, but I bet some of the better teams love watching the games.

Because Joey mentioned it I feel he'd be referring to a number of guys in Newcastle. What are your thoughts on players not watching much footy and how it possibly affects the team?

EDIT: Joey also mentions how the Newcastle players notice when they get hammered on social media and how it affects them.

I'm of the belief that those types more often than not aren't as successful.

If you love something you live and breath it, success comes of the back of passion.

There's a fire raging inside most champions, for sure the'yd be watching and training more than the average player. Very rarely is there someone who doesnt have to do the hard stuff to achieve great things.

Bit concerning that Musgrove is in the reduced squad ...

Possibly one of the only two that could get picked and play.

More concerned that Johns has a gig over Sisagi

 

[Loose Cannon]

Apparently we’re 51 dollars to score exactly 2 points. Tempting offer, and they know.

Who cares? It’s worth a few.

Wouldn’t be so bad if lost bet because they scored more but what if they score less

Think it was $11 to score 0. Get on!

Currently moving out. Nice to know that moving won’t be the most painful experience I have today.

 

[Zoidberg]

Y’know, I’ve just got this feeling today…

 

[SamSepi0l]

This is a classic set up game.

We lose but improve. Things look slightly brighter. We have a glimmer of hope..

.. Only to lose to the Dogs. Such is the Newcastle way.

Only some?

Try some prunes.

Paul Kent reckons Ponga will be playing 5/8 in attack and fullback in defence

He should be 5/8th in defense and fullback in attack.... Ponga is the worst defensive fullback ever. He tackles well in the line though.

 

[Woosh]

D Saf to be Newcastle’s best tonight.
He can smell the 30k around the corner
Ponga and Hoy to have good games too.

 

[Tom155]

No Frizz
Johns starting

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Oh good, Frizzell is out due to illness ‍

 

[Loose Cannon]

Well that helps. FMD.
