We are so lucky with that knock-on. Try there and we are cooked I reckon.

Come on boys, just hang in and win this by 2 if you have to. Smart football is the key from here.

Mason hopeful of settling his future in the next day or two (and hinting strongly it will be here)..... Joking about a five year deal too haha

Surely we can assume that Faas's money is going straight to Mason.

Great work from the boys. Gagai has done more in 3 games then Sau and Wes have done in 3 years...

I seriously hope Snowden isn't gone... Sign Poore in the 2 hours we have left before the deadline...

Good win.

We need to work on our kicking game though... Repeat sets will do us a world of good.

Darius back in next week will improve us as well.

Glad to get the win! But our go forward was shocking at times.
We stopped playing footy when we were in the lead.

Forwards didn't step up in my opinion. We won because of two individual tries, some gutsy scrambling defence, and the fact it was the Eels not anybody else.

Our go-forward is so concerning. Why on earth does Tets sit on the bench nearly the entire game when we are struggling in the middle?

I'll give the benefit of the doubt to only having a 5 day turnaround.

Playing any other side and the result could well have been different.

Go forward was terrible and apart from Mason and Snowy, it is non existent although Tets showed he has it in him with his limited game time.

Not sure why Mckinnon didn't have much game time and more minutes he has over Costigan the better. The less said about Edwards and his ineffectiveness in attack the better.

Still need a good half and tonight was a great opportunity for Roberts too stamp his authority against a struggling Eels outfit.

On a brighter note, Bedsy was again in everything and Gagai shows he will be a 10 year NRL player (hopefully with the Knights)

As they say, it is good to win ugly.

Give knights two more props and they'd be amazing sadly they only have two in there roster in Mason and Snowden.

Full credit to Kevin he was incredible and ended pats career get rid of him and his shrimps of brothers.

Bedsy, Gagai, Tahu and Roberts also very strong.

A solid win and we'll take it right now. We are a team that still plays to the level of our opposition.

Some comments.

How good does Gagai look, the bloke looks like he's played 100 fg games, not 10. He has got it all and he's everything that Uate needs in a centre. We need to lock him up on a much longer deal over the off season.

Zeb looked brilliant tonight, his runs were energetic.

Kevin looks like a much better prospect than his brother. Really didn't make a mistake and his try was brilliant.

Bad news about Snowy, we can't take a trick in that department. Mullo's hand doesn't look too good either.

Sounds like Willie is about to re-sign, probably were Faas's money is going.

Special mentions, first for T, the left side is looking bulletproof with him and Haggis. Also Bedsy, the team needs his competitiveness, he was giving it to the team after the long break at the 73rd minute.

Finally Mullo is really having a real dig and his try was just what the team needs a the time. I actuall think he is getting more consistent and better at directing the team.

Roberts goal kicking was a bit all over the shop so I would like to see blokes trying to improve the put down where possible, just to help Roberts.

Overall it's great to win two in row.

I liked what I sw from McKinnon tonight, was one of the only bench forwards willing to run hard and straight
