Moylan has been using the grubber effectively since he debuted, I find it hard to believe he would just choose not to use it for 9 weeks. Fittler even said the coaching staff at Penrith were paranoid about 7 tackle sets and had limited our attacking kicking game before the broncos match.

The players are also told to play it as they see it. Hence why we lack structure in attack. I have no doubt it was to not give up 7 tackles but whether it was the coach or players is the question

Well I am 99 percent sure it was the coaching staff. Fittler said so, now he can be a muppet but I doubt he would say that unless he knew it. Outside of that it doesn't make sense that Moylan and to a lesser extent Cleary would not use it just for that little period.

If it's the players, then it's still the coach. If you've watched them for 11 weeks serve up that shit kicking game and not done anything to fix it, then you're a shit coach. Pretty simple.

The way teams defend against us, naturally they are going to tire eventually.

We just need to avoid creating such a large deficit early on and we will win a lot more games than not.Patience must be shown in the first half.If other teams want to play like c**ts then let them, score all the points you want in the 2nd half.

Also, Knights fans saying they were robbed make cringe so hard.Nice first try guys.

A couple of iffy 50/50 calls in two of those tries. Add that forward pass on Newcastle just after 1/2 time,and the score would be quite different.

But hey,we copped bullshit calls before as does everyone else does. And I'm sure Newcastle will have a few wins on the trot soon.They didn't play all that bad.

The score would be different and probably as a result, the Knights 14-0 start probably would have never eventuated if their Union try was disallowed.

Also, if commentators are going to reference certain decisions, please do so against both teams. Don't give off the illusion that we consistently get calls go our way when in fact that couldn't be more further from the truth whilst clubs like Roosters and Brisbane get every decision under the sun almost without any notice. Gasnier, I didn't know you liked Newcastle so much...

Anyway, off topic but since I haven't been here for a little bit I'll just say it now.The atmosphere at the ground in the 2nd half of the Warriors game was amazing.Went home to watch it on Foxtel and Matt Russell's commentary was so lethargic and seemed completely devoid of energy.TWENTY-TWO POINT COMEBACK MATT, and here you are talking as if Penrith just extended their lead to 48-0.Good lord.
