Great win from the boys @TheParraEels 18-20 over the nights. Nail bitter at the end

Roosters done deal.

Special mention to Danny Wicks tonight

57 mins (the last 27 injured)
19 runs for 172 metres
31 tackles.

We needed every single one of them too.

And I have to admit to some scepticism with regards to the professor on the Matt Johns show.

fortune cookies they got at their chinese dinner with bikies

Segyaro - lay with dogs, wake up with fleas
Paulo - destined to play out career with underachievers in freezing shithole
Norman - cant have the agony without the exstacy

I saw that bit. One of his better skits. But I wondered if the fleas thing referred to our guys and associates or is he off to Dessy.

And Hindy had a very lame reference to holding the pill and getting caught in possession, when speaking to a player after the game.

A very gutsy win but gee we are terrible in the ruck. Our low tackler in the gang tackle has poor impact or is often not there at all.
Amazing to win a game in such a backs to the wall fashion but goodness we take the long journey.
No Beau Scott, no win. Thanks Laurie.
Our attack is average. Absolutely no variety. Opposition teams definitely see us coming.
Gordon couldnt kick his Grandmother outta bed. His kick % surely couldnt be more than 65%.
Perenara is the worst ref in the NRL and always has been. Smile you goose.
Thank God for the bye next week. Not sure we could field a team next week.
A tough year for sure but not even close to our year under the Tiny Toad, RS.

A lot of people would say it was an ugly win. Yes it was ugly but gutsy as well. We were up against it. Salary cap dramas, players leaving, court cases coming up, injuries, poor refereeing. Yet they still hung on and got there in the end. Ok it was against Newcastle, but lets give the opposition credit, they played liked they had nothing to lose and as soon as the Knights scored the first try, you can tell Parramatta's confidence went down. Thankfully they improved in the second half, despite early in the second half when they had hardly any ball, they still hung in there.

The win tonight is good timing with the bye next week, and with injuries, we'd probably lose Foran and Taka for one match, maybe two with Foran but by then Mannah might be back.

Good to see French on debut, and that last minute try saving effort, well done Bevan. We'll definitely see more of him this year.

Manu was awesome, Taka played well even injured. And Beau Scott, thanks fk he wasn't selected for NSW. Really led by example with Foran off.

Really, really entertaining game from both sides. Edge of the seat stuff. Very happy with how they toughed it out.

Exacly what I thought.
Enjoyed watching that game more than any other this season.
Maybe it's because I'm relaxed now and don't give a shit, but it was a quality game bar a few minutes during the second half.
I was even thinking that it will probably be more entertaining than Origin on Wednesday.
Those games have just become robotic such is the intensity and effectiveness in defence.
Tonight had a bit of everything.
Thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. It was a bit like what RL used to be like 10 years ago.

I'm loving this leadership that guys like Watmough and Foran have instilled in this group

I know you wrote that as sarcasm while we were losing - what are your thoughts now? That was a gutsy gritty win and if you think they have not had an impact on our culture then you have no idea.

Yep - ripper of a match. Absolute ripper. So many 'moments' in that match. Knights crossed twice in 2nd half and we denied them both times. Sheer determination. Pretty amazing 2nd half defensive effort. The first 12 minutes of the 2nd half was almost comedic it was so bad from us. But we hung in.

Great effort boys.l Lucky our boys have more heart than many posters on here.

Presser is up

We might have to cope without both Foz and Taka in Darwin vs Tits in 2 weeks.

Do we even have another 5/8 in the club ? Mr Fixit Gutho I guess.

Pritchard can obviously pass the ball from left to right and is an excellent defender. Forans no Ricky Stuart with his kicking game so he could at least have a decent kick on him.

To be honest he'd be better off playing that type of role than the battering ram we've had him doing the last few weeks

I think we'll need Gutherson at Right Centre or Fullback if Gordon isnt here. To be honest we'd be quite silly to let Gordon go whilst we have these injuries. We probably only need him for a couple of games, he can probably go before our second bye

How good was BA's answer asking about TV speculation that Gordon had probably played his last game tonight?

"Sorry, I didn't watch the TV, I was watching the game"

Nice. Beau had a nice cheeky laugh at that too...
