R25 // Knights 42-12 Eels @ Hunter // Sat 3.00pm

[Misanthrope]

Four point lead won't be enough for Parra with the wind at our backs. Mullen and Roberts ought to have a field day.

 

[Yosh]

Score and update please ^^

 

[Misanthrope]

Down 12-8 at half time. Sione with both tries out wide.

 

[Misanthrope]

Ref firmly in Parramatta's pocket here. Good thing they can't complete the sets he's gifting them.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Brett Mullenz!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zoidberg]

Mullo! You gorgeous little man

 

[Tom155]

scott has been excellent today, great try

 

[Zoidberg]

Wooo hoohoo.

The age of Mata'utia has begun.

 

[Zoidberg]

I'm enjoying the Hell out of this game.

Amazing how good at offloads we are even though Wayne doesn't let them do it for most of the year.

 

[Zoidberg]

I'm assuming all you guys are at the game.

I'll just keep having fun by myself.

Joey in. We are killing it. Parras defence is pretty woeful.

 

[cram]

Nasty head clash

 

[Zoidberg]

And we crack the 40 finally.

42-12. Thank you guys for the entertainment this afternoon.

 

[cram]

34 blot in the second half

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Will anyone stop us in 2015? Will we go undefeated?

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Absolute brilliant second half. Absolutely excited for our future. No wonder the Aku leaving rumours are gaining cos the Mata Utia brothers are superb talents. Sione and Joey on the left is a world of hurt.

 

[slotmachine]

Bring on 2015.

 

[Swarzey]

Mullen can never score an easy try. Never. There always has to be something odd about it whether he slides half the way or cramps up.

 

[Misanthrope]

God, that second half performance was ominous. Parra fans are bemoaning their side being utterly shit (which they were), but that takes too much away from what was a very handy performance from our side.

The offloading and second phase play it created were inspiring to watch, and our backline players just looked a cut above the more fancied Parramatta three-quarters.

Mullen looked confident. Randall looked good on debut. Our pack, especially Scott and Fa'alogo looked confident, and even Kurt managed to keep his derpage to a minimum.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

It's no coincidence that our form in the last 10 weeks has come down to our second phase play. As a result out backline has received a lot more ball and are scoring points.

Moving forward, this is the style of play that suits our current team. Wayne Bennett's no frills grinding style is just putting th shackles on our talented players.

 

[Misanthrope]

Somebody on FB said Bennett's half-time talk included 'cutting down on the offloads' and being more direct.

Anybody know if there's any truth to that?
