If we settle down and stop losing the ball, we will win by 30.

So youre saying its going to be another 80th minute win then?

 

[unKwn]

get Katoa the f**k off and Egan the f**k on

 

[Panther Pete]

How the hell are we in the top 4??? That was embarrassing, I have seen under 8’s play with better ball security than that disgraceful effort.

Hook’s simple game plan would have done us some good today.

We’d be 14 points behind except for some incredible luck.

Knights had their hands on their heads at the end of that half but we still looked full of juice. Hopefully we get on top of them in the second half.

 

[unKwn]

we didn't even get into their half until 10 mins left. our defense is also f**king pathetic. our attack didn't look good at all on their line either

Katoa really is terribly disciplined.

Hetherington, Leota and Katoa are 3 players with awesome potential but terrible discipline.

Not sure they can ever fix the discipline and be good NRL players. But god I hope they can. Because their good games are awesome. The bad are so bad that it's hard to say they're worth taking a chance on.

Just need to hold the ball, no more and no less.

Katoa needs to get off the field. I'm starting to think he's the reason for slow starts. Funny that when May has come on in previous games we get points. Egan HAS to come on straight away in tye second half.

 

[ashton]

I've said for a long time Katoa needs to go.
Peachy at fullback too small.
Mansour has been poor for a while.
Merrin should be released..
Gould has a lot to answer for.

The thing is, Griffin having simple one-out hit ups by big boys as his ONLY game plan was a shit idea, but that doesn't mean that we should NEVER do a set on one-out hit ups by the big boys, because that is equally as dumb. To be a good side, you need to be able to manage a game and do the right thing at the right time.

At the moment, it looks as if we have overcorrected and bought into the hype of us being sleeping giants hindered by a backwards coach and forgetting that the tough stuff still needs to get done. This is the problem with player power winning out - people forget that some players are really, really, really dumb. We need a good coach for this team desperately.

 

[panthersam]

Surely they have to think about starting Egan next week

People hate hearing it...

But we have played bugger all games against good teams and when games are on the line we have a lot of talented guys who can pull a win out of their arses.

But it takes a poor team to let their opposition do it.

We simply have go game plans still. Hook put handcuffs on thrm with directives and no game plans. Ciro took the handcuffs off and has the same deal.

Theres no structure or thought in what we do. Although when we actually get to the kick atleast Cleary has shown he has a variety of tricks up his sleeve. Sadly we are completing like half our sets

 

[Frankus]

CHN is bog average

I agree with the above, with the exemption of Gus. Without him the club would be non existent.

 

[kinghippo]

I can’t figure out why the coaches are sticking with Katoa, we can all see it

 

[tripster]

I don’t want us to win from here. Another lucky escape will just take attention away from how woeful we are.

Our performances have been getting worse and worse and worse.

 

[Panther Pete]

I know we have got out of gaol in our last 3 games but I just can’t see us doing it today.

 

[Frankus]

Newcastle just need to score this set and put us out of our misery
