Pou thought Knights where great value lol.

Crucial field goal puts us in outright 2nd

Well built win. We didn't repeatedly shoot ourselves in the foot in the first half and just wore Newcastle down.
Nothing spectacular but job done.

They were. Anything can happen. I thought the Tigers were great value last week and won $180. I don't mind losing $20.

 

[Gary Gutful]

He's ready to be a backup. He's not ready for 20+ games.

I'm not sure he's even backup level. He's slow, has average defence, can't pass great and his kicking is rubbish. He's park football level in my view.

 

[Happy MEel]

I look at it like I'm paying for us to win. Doesn't always work but when it doesn't I get paid by Sportsbet.

Lara looking good in the blue.

That was a carbon copy of our performance in Canberra last year. Coming off a loss at home we played simple footy and grind the opposition into the dust on the road.

Moses clutch!

 

[The Predictor]

Shit pass. Rookie error

It’s still a fkn error…..

Dyls funny

 

[hineyrulz]

JA lol......

Throws a one metre pass two metres forward, what a talent.

Guts finally making sense. Well done son!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Good performance by us but wow the Knights would've struggled in reggies today. Had absolutely nothing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Drown in the center's will probably work better than Fifita in the Center's worked for the Titans. Not sure the Titans are the benchmark we need to be looking at right now though.
Brad Authur might actually be trying to get himself fired.

He's on thin ice after that one.

 

[hineyrulz]

Arthur has forced a line drop out and kicked a bomb that forced the Knights to concede a penalty.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Knights come in 30 cents incentive sides named lol

Should they have come in by more?

 

[hindy111]

I thought our attack was pretty ordinary. I don't think we showed a lot tbh. Newcastle defense was just garbage. Some of those tries where horrible.

Against a good side that type of attack gets you nothing. Our defense however was good. We wore them down.

For mine Mahoney and Matterson where the stars of the show. Moses also went well and I thought Makatoa was solid today.

Guthersons form is a worry. He doesn't look right to me.

Simmonsons defense I do like. He reads the plays well and going ok. Not spectacular but ok.

JA offered little.....He missed tackles, a poor kick,forward pass.....I know we are under an injury crisis but he isn't NRL level. After watching NSW CUP I'd rather Hands or Yates pushed into the squad as a utility. Perham also offers more.

Jumped on Newcastle at $2.90. Absurd odds

I agree but how does it look in hindsight?
