Moses: "We've been spending the first 20 minutes every week tackling. We needed to hold the ball and complete."

That was a sloppy flogging.

Honextly, the worst any opponent has played against us in my memory.

Ponga needs a special invitation to the shit list

He is no 6. Reminds me of the time we tried to make Hayne into one.

Hopgood’s stats are unbelievable for tonight. His most complete game. MOM for mine

But how nice is it that a team does play shit against us for a change Strides?? Every f**king game this year other than the dogs, they all came for us

Our execution of the lame duck was poor at times. Communication, timing and game sense was average especially considering how shite the Knights were.

Dunsters defence was pretty good today has bugger all speed though

He’s been tentative but still solid in defence without that nightmare, Blake.

 

[Bandwagon]

Winning is so much better than loosing

Yes. He looked a million bucks. As he gets more experience and games under his belt, he will have that kind of dominant performance on a more frequent basis.

I can live with his mistakes in the short term.

Nice boost to the old for and against

Resign him now!

 

[Gherkin]

Knights performance was close to the worst any team has played all year.
Our middles were good, halves were good in patches but should’ve converted a few more opportunities. Good to see Lane getting a bit of confidence, is a weapon on the edge with his passing and running game. Carty offers good skill on the other side as well

 

[oldmancraigy]

Resign him now!

Why not? He'd be cheaper now than this time next year...

 

[JokerEel]

Same with Cartwright he deserves another few years

 

[Chipmunk]

We had 13 line breaks, the Knights missed 65 tackles. Surely both would be some kind of record.
