R12 | Warriors 24-20 Knights @ Mt Smart | Sunday 2.00pm

[Sydney Knight]

Warriors inconsistency keeping us in game. If we can stay close with a young side who knows? Although if warriors get their actt together they could blow us of the park

 

[Joker's Wild]

The usual offenders are offending, the halves are uninspiring but at least having a dig and getting involved.

Tui and Randall have gotten better as the game has gone on. Kicking needs some work but the rest has been ok, especially considering Randall was supposed to be our bench hooker

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

You can't expect too much of our halves. Between them they probably have what, 2 or 3 NRL games in the halves. They are doing as well as they can under the circumstances

 

[Alex28]

This Newcastle team is absolute rubbish

You are playing essentially half of our NSW Cup team, and you lead by 6 on the basis of a terrible try decision.

We know how shit our team is - take a closer look at yours...

 

[CycloneSteve]

I like what I am seeing from tui so far. He seems composed, he's big, seems to be a good defender. Already offering more than roberts

Shitty kicking game is still shitty.....

 

[perverse]

Gagai is the best fullback we've had since Gidley was a good player.

 

[slotmachine]

Yeah, halves done nothing. Gagai the only threat.

Only 3 errors though, that's the key.

 

[Swarzey]

I really, really can't fault anyone...but BJ. Our creative, our direction is coming from a debutant and bench hooker. Today just isn't our day. Roberts' injury, BJ taking out the player too soon, the pathetic Try. If we win, somehow, it would be a massive confidence boost.

 

[The Showstopper]

Carlos and Mullo would certainly be a combo worth taking a punt on.

 

[perverse]

Carlos definitely offering more than Roberts thus far, by virtue of not cocking anything up yet. However, we seem to have run out of goalkickers, as embarrassing as it is.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Gagai is the best fullback we've had since Gidley was a good player.

Still wish he could tackle with his shoulders

Kata would have made him his bitch on that early break that was called forward. Arm grabbing is not effective 1-1 defence from a fullback

 

[The Showstopper]

The fact Tui can defend and you add Mullo, all of a sudden our middle looks a whole lot better. We can push them wider.

 

[Whats Doing]

There is no way the ref saw whether that was a try or not. He made a stab in the dark decision that he got the ball down.

The current rules stink as there was sufficient evidence that the ball did not touch the ground but you now have to have conclusive evidence to overturn a stab in the dark decision.

This is a crazy rule

 

[Zoidberg]

Need to start this half well

 

[Zoidberg]

Sorry...sorry

lol this was prophetic. Scott and Tapine so soft there. When your second rowers are letting that through, who cares how your fullback can tackle - you've got no hope.

Just like that lol

 

[Tom155]

Pathetic

 

[Rod]

Gagai won't be on Gidley's level until he can put a goddamn shoulder into the tackle.

 

[Seage]

Soft and disgraceful.
