Paterson for Houston, id make that trade.

Canberra and Parramatta would do well to consider Stoney as a potential coach if they want to replace their current chiefs. Dave Furner is not a terrible coach. Neither is Kearney. I just think they are assistant coaches first and head coaches second. There is a massive difference.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'm glad I didn't rush back from the pub to tune in. Doesn't sound like I missed much.

I'll be viewing the game on replay as soon as I can so I can see who to curse before I go to bed tonight.

don't put yourself through the pain.

Paterson for Houston, id make that trade.

Pato played Qld cup for the Pride yesterday. He is either requiring some extra fitness or out of favour up there with the Coyboys

Not sure his attitude would make him fit any better down here right now. At least House isn't a Mundine brainwashed knobsticle

That's two pretty good reasons not to bring him back right there

 

[Nuffy]

The real tragedy in all this is that most of the goodwill and optimism generated in the wake of Tinks and Bennett joining the club has been washed away since the rot set in.

The club needs more paying members and sponsors to build a long term successful foundation, we shouldn't rely in Tinks largesse as that's not reasonable or realistic.

This type of season will make 2013 tougher commercially, so instead of building on the off field success of 2012, we are behind the eight ball.

Hard to believe that any of the players expect the club not to respond proactively to this and pull whatever levers are available to them, even if it means moving blokes on.

If Sau and Wes want to keep their contracts then start earning them, that's all they need to do.

 

[The Showstopper]

Hopefully Newcastle fans now realise that we have to literally start from scratch and build a new culture. The old Knights ways are outdated. No more punching above our weight. We need to be the benchmark. I am sick to death of mediocrity. I want a committed in your face football side who live to destroy their opposition every week. A side which gets pissed off when they leak points even when they have the game wrapped up. Cam Smith blew up when we scored our last two tries in Melbourne a couple on months back. They still won by 12. That is a winning culture right there. Melbourne clearly believe soft habits build over time and eventually snowball into a loss. No wonder they dominate this comp.
