Lol poor Zeb has copped it twice now in this thread and he didn't even get a run haha..... People are so annoyed even the spectators are being laid into.

And whoever it was that had a shot at Snowden he made 127m 22 tackles (1 missed) and a try assist, And has been doing this consistently in a well dominated pack. Could this be a case of 'he is our best forward so he should dominate every game on his own', by any chance?

You could be referring to me there Rolla. Not sure.

It was in reference to Origin and the fact he is like Galloway. Slow.

With the minutes Snowden plays he should rack up 100 metres weekly. 6 carries a half should do it. He'd want to be carrying the ball at least 6 times a half!

a second one going for the Wes thing?

he was playing well last year. why would you not want to re-sign a guy who is playing well? why would you now want a bloke in your team who is playing like a heap of shit? i see nothing unusual about the turn-around in opinion on Wes. that is going to happen when you go from playing really well to playing like dogshit. most of the players in our squad have gone backwards. that is what we're dealing with here.

i mean shit, add Hilder to the list. i could be quoted either last year or the year before saying i hope he was a Knight for life! now? i couldn't care less. fickle? sure. but he stopped producing, big time. he is not adopting our new approach to football well, and if he needs to go, he needs to go. things do change over time. players change. opinions change. perfectly natural.

Fair enough he isn't lightning. But still averages 8m per run, which is inline with all the top props in the NRL (i think tamou a bit higher but he has a few line breaks in him). I'm not pushing his case for origin but i think he has been very good for us. I would hate to see where we would be without him this year.

Snowy has ranged from fine to great for us. he isn't in outstanding form, but who in the team is? he has been consistent, he's one of the only blokes in the team who seems guarenteed his spot based off its own merit. he is doing his job. he has better in him, and i'm sure that will come when others around him are doing well. remember, he's the bloke taking some of the hardest hitups. early in the set trying to get us moving forward. i'd like to see us have something more to offer from the bench than Cuthbo. it would be nice if the other team was getting tired whilst our 2 starting props are off the field.

Seriously, what the f**k has even happened to Wes this year?

His defense is disgraceful. Could it be that he had the infamous 'off contract' year last year? You know the one where you actually perform to earn your dollars?

If so, I feel cheated! He's done a Josh Perry on us.

coudl be. he certainly seems to be struggling for motivation at the moment. looks like he can't be f**ked to defend half the time.

No worries. As I said it may/may not have been my post?

And yes, I agree, would rather have him than not.

So this week against the Raiders we won't have Boyd or Uate. So Gagai to fullback, Mata'utia onto the wing?

This is what it's about:
http://www.newcastleknights.com.au/news-display/Close-but-improvement-needed-Buderus/56346
Hunter Ports Newcastle Knights captain Danny Buderus believes his side are moving in the right direction, despite losing to the Broncos 50-24 on Sunday afternoon.
Speaking after the game, Buderus said there were some positives to come from the match, but the Knights have a fair way to go as they develop into a top side.
“We’ve done a lot of things as a group to try and get everything back on track,” Buderus said.
“We’ve done a few things as a senior group to get the confidence back in the younger guys, a bit of belief in where they’re going.
“If it didn’t blow out in the last 15 minutes we could’ve taken a lot of positives out of the game, and we still will. We’ll take a few things out - to come back into a position to try and win, it was there for us.
“That’s where we’re at as a team - we’re close but we’re a fair way away as well. Like Wayne keeps saying - if we keep driving the bus, keep turning up, we’ll get our momentum. When we do, we’ll jump on it and have a bit of a run.”

Sides like Brisbane and Melbourne can have their off days or their run of losses or their individual brain-fades and bad games but they have enough belief in themselves and belief in that if they stick to what they need to do regardless of where they are at that they will come out on top. They ride out the bumpy roads.
Brisbane showed that against us. We had them on the back foot and rattled but they stuck to it and we lost the plot again.
We have had problems with that sort of belief for years. It seems part of our culture that we can do well for the first half, or the second or the middle bit of the game or the first and last 15 mins but we really seem to have a lack of belief that ends up resulting in a lack of discipline.
If we get that sort of belief then this team is capable of giving us some great games and great entertainment and being able to show what they are made of. Long term we can get a culture of pride going that will see long term benefits. That type of belief is less about individual performances and more about team execution. Stick to the plan!
The Bus has got away from us. A push from the "supporters" and we might be able to catch up a bit.

Oooo completely forgot about that!

Kev Naiqama fullback?

Dane def on the wings.

Kev hasn't played fullback in NSW cup since Pete Mata'utia got back from injury pretty much, I suspect Pete is ahead of him in the fullback pecking order.
In any case I expect:
1.Gagai
2.McManus
3.Sau
4.Tahu
5.Kev

I'd personally have either Mata'utia or Likiliki ahead of Sau
