R14 | Storm 16-14 Knights @ AAMI | Sun 3.00pm

[Yosh]

f**k... 10 mins to go. Do we have it in us?

 

[Misanthrope]

Typical.

Bennett has a lot to answer for.

 

[cram]

And so history repeating?

 

[cram]

At least we had a dig

 

[Misanthrope]

I'd honestly us rather lose 30-0 than lose a close one. This on a weekly basis is just cruel.

How many f**king times do we need to f**king pass the ball to a f**king Storm player? f**k!

 

[Tom155]

too many dumb mistakes at critical moments

 

[RABK]

One of the few Knights sides in our history to put in each week but also manage to be the single most frustrating Knights side in our history. Whatever we are lacking we lack it in spades and it negates the other 95% of things we seem to get right. I am so over watching us this year - i'm not even upset about our overall effort but whatever it is that causes us to lose games we are the better side in each week is greying my hair.

 

[cram]

Why can't we score 2nd half points??

 

[Yosh]

Feck... 2 points...

It's another loss but seriously good effort from the boys. I thought some really good performances; Mullen, Gagai and I thought Gower was okay as well.

House and Travis need to go.

I think Roberts will be the one that's dropped when Kidley and Bedsy both come back. I'm not saying he is crap or anything, I'm a fan but he is the weak link at the moment in the spine.

 

[Frederick]

Well I'm done for this year. Might see you guys next year, depending if Newton is at the club or not

 

[Yosh]

Why can't we score 2nd half points??

Ah it's the good old score 14 points and wait for the final whistle ploy we've been using recently.

 

[The Showstopper]

Roberts adds nothing. Had Gower been halfback today we would have won. He is all quality.

Sums it up for me.

 

[Jobdog]

At the risk of sounding like Michael Hagan, the effort was there - we just ultimately weren't good enough. Play like that for the rest of the year and we'll win a lot more than we lose.

Wayne can come out and trumpet about a good effort against the reigning premiers, but it's a bullshit excuse.

Melbourne were a shadow of themselves with Cronk not on deck. Ryles kicked twice FFS.

They were playing poorly and they still won. Don't be proud of us losing by two points to the reigning premiers - be f**king outraged that we should have won that game. The amount of ball we had in the first twenty of the second half should have been enough to post points.

Travis Waddell and House can breath easy knowing they'll be there each and every week because there is absolutely no accountability within the team. A two point loss against a usually good side is a 'good result' for this club now.

Embrace the mediocrity!

 

[Lynoman]

Done watching this team of losers for the year.......

 

[Burwood]

Very positive game I thought. Silly mistakes and penalties were cut down and looked much better with the ball in hand.

So what happens to Gower next week? Do you play him in NSW Cup for match fitness, or wrap him in cotton wool? I'd play him to be honest.

 

[aqua_duck]

I'm f**king sick of us taking the f**king 2 every f**king week, we never learn.

 

[Yosh]

Did we only give like 2 penalties away today? I thought that was good.
