Yet you put them in your multi to win

CH is either a genius or a liar. Which one is it m19?

It was a $2 muck around bet m8

For me it's the one on one tackling that has let us a down a lot this year.

Today's game I thought Gagai was particularly poor. As good as a season he's having, his defense has to be the focus this upcoming off season.

Overall I felt like the team put in more effort today, but we just aren't up to it. You can see that our structure is crap, especially in attack which Bedsey cannot fix this in a week.

Re: Sione, I think once he is in a good environment and structure he will succeed at centre. He is very strong and I can see him being able to setup his winger in the years to come.

 

[Jono078]

Also that Snowden error in the first 30 seconds is not acceptable. For the week we've had and to come out like that is not good enough.

You have to set a tone and a standard early on. That would have been a killer if that happened in a grand final.

I understand errors happen, but I'm concerned with Snowden.. That happens far too often with him. I think next year with the interchange he will be a huge liability for us unless he comes off the bench and goes hard for 20 minutes.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

So bedsy reckons this performance is heading in the right direction. So conceding 46 points against the worst attacking team is the right direction?

All respect for bedsy is gone.

So the 250ish games he has played for the club means nothing then?

I don't think the interchange will affect Snowden to much tbo. He often plays for over 50 minutes now.

On a note about today's game. I got the impression that the swinging arm that Snowden copped really fired up the players. They went from third to fifth gear after that incident and they kept it going for the next 30 minutes.

I was at the game today and was really worried at half time being a dragons supporter!

The Knights young guns showed promise and threw the ball around and offloads were good and caused headaches for dragons

I think they can take a lot out of this even if they didn't get the result and Roosters cannot be complacent next week either

 

[Serc]

Gagai has already said he wants to stay at centre and Stone has said Mamo was being groomed for fullback. Whether the new coach will still want to go that way though remains to be seen.

Interesting, thanks mate

Yes I watched him at fullback, but even from a fantasy footy point of view, Gagai was way better when playing there, even in a bottom 4 team (had output similar to the top 5-6 outside backs/fullbacks in the game), so surely that's an indicator or something

 

[Joker's Wild]

issue is we are short oon centres going into next season

we have Sione, Jimmy and Gagai with fg experience in the centres. Thats it

We need Dane playing there

Good point

That's a shame for everyone! Knights fans and fantasy footy followers alike!

In that case I am even more impressed at however we managed to keep Gagai

He had hagan in his ear the whole game, so wouldn't surprise me if he wrote his post game speech too

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Nope

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Usual question, how did sione play?

 

[Haffa]

At this stage in our season having Hagan help Bedsy doesn't even bother me. Every capable assistant we've had has left in the last few years so he's got pretty much nobody to rely on.

 

[Noname36]

Usual question, how did sione play?

I thought he went alright...but I'm sure you'll be able to get a lot of comments from others explaining everything he did wrong which indicate exactly why he'll be a career long failure.

Unfortunately though defence is still 50% of the game (or more - I can't remember us having the ball in the second half yesterday) - and we're just really, really bad at it.

 

[voltron]

How were our debutants?

 

[Rod]

Ross tried hard and didn't do much wrong. Got a deserved try and at the least his enthusiasm must inject some life into proceedings.

Fitzgibbon barely got a go and came on in a period when we were getting dominated.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Your plight is a combination of the stubborn, blue collar mentality that holds the club back behind the pack and Uncle Wayne buying dads army to try and win a premiership straight away.

He left us in a similar boat after 2011. We got the prize, but we are still recovering from the hangover.

 

[dragonsman4eva]

Good luck to you guys for the rest of the year. Great club that deserve better and hopefully your boys put in for the coach and all your fans. Really liked what I saw from Mamo and sims. Jeremy smith is still a beast!! Love the way he plays. Good luck for the rest of the year

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

From the press conference Bedsy sees it as his job to bring on the young guys for next year and the year after.
I can see Mamo and Sione being regulars for the rest of the season with Tapine and possibly other forwards in the mix.
I reckon Feeney will get a run.
Talk was also how Tapine needs to push his body.

 

[aqua_duck]

In his current form I honestly don't think we'll miss Beau Scott next year, wouldn't have been much worse off having 2 turnstiles in place of Beau and Tyrone yesterday
