No doubt a high demand employee, much like O’Sullivan who followed him. Then there’s all the recruitment infrastructure you need to pay for to support these guys.

Some of you blokes seem dour as fk. We won Forty fkin three to twelve. Take a day off :D
Yeah/nah. The Knights were woeful and we capitalised on it with a mix of flair and stupidity. There are some below par merkins in our team and our coach doesn’t appear to be one who can get the lads to play to any game plan for more than 10 minutes. Gutho leads by example but there’s some other highly rated merkins who need to step up on a regular basis as well. I’m not convinced after that win by a long shot.

I’m convinced. Put $1000 on us to win the comp straight after the game.

gee that's a pretty clever move from our brains trust

so we get the Knights player to charge up out of the defensive line to leave a gaping hole for Dylbro to run through

we need to come up with more set plays like this

For mine, dyl is better when he is on the move b4 he gets the ball not flat footed

It's why I love to see him at full back but guth is killing it there

I like how Russell fended Hastings before he caught the ball.

I only just finished watching the game. Got in the first half late last night and the second just now. The Knights had zero line speed, so what a luxury for Emu, Maka and Oggy. Carty had a day out. His combo with Moses and Will on the edge is pretty good. Loved Hopgood and Paulo.

The old farts of the forum might only be able to comment, but I reckon Emu’s running style is similar to Bob O’Reilly.

I was worried about everyone talking about our 6#% completion rate, but seriously most errors were forward passes or bobbles in the middle of us dominating in attack playing Parra Ball. Russell took the drop out and was dragged out of touch which was just bad luck. So yeah as always the completion rate needs to be assessed in context.

I know we scored 7 tries but we left another 7 out there from poor choices. Sivo seems to make a habit of doing something fantastic but being unable to provide that final pass after a break. Loved when he burned glamour boy going to the brave Roosters a few times.

I didn’t see how Hodgson was worthy of his weekly vitriol. What did I miss ? He played more mins than Hands had less missed tackles and zero errors. Actually he grubbered dead, so that’s a missed stat IMHO.

Anyway, it’s nice to play a shit side. At times it looked like NRL 9s we had so much space. By the looks of it we are back to playing a half decent Tits side next week with Matto back.
