Round 20 | Warriors 19-24 Knights @ Mt Smart | Sat 5.30pm AEST (7.30pm NZ)

[Spot On]

Total enigma of a player. I don't rate him as a solid player. Great hands but outside of that he leaves plenty to be desired. Matalino is a very very talented boy by comparison.

Mateo - 2 try assists, 3 offloads and 3 line break assists is a fair effort. I know what you are saying but they stop scoring when he goes to the bench. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I'm all for it when we play them mind you.

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Exactly. Mateo is a brilliant attacking player and that is his saving grace. His defence is lazy.

 

[Nuffy]

What a game, killing me again by being rocks for the first 20 and diamonds for the next 60.

If we can put it together for 80 we'll take some stopping.

Cuthbo had a huge game, Zeb was good and the whole pack awoke from their slumber and outshone the warriors pack.

The back line was brilliant, very happy with the halves, I have to say that Mullo is maturing and his kicking game is getting better and more effective.

Tahu did well to run 50 metres carrying the Dog, really showed Hurrell up badly. Uate, brilliant and crazy, the put down was diabolical, let's hope he learns a lesson.

Gagai, sign him up for life, the kid is class. Kev, good for him, he doesn't look out of place. Darius was superb, he really adds another dimension in attack.

Downside, the kiwi commentators are the worse ever, a disgrace really. Also, don't refs call forward passes anymore, there must have been 15 or more in the game from the warriors which weren't called.

Overall, brilliant away win, great self belief and the confidence must be sky high, full credit to all involved.

 

[IanG]

Very happy with that win. Especially in light of being on the back foot. Lack of possession was killing us.

Also speaking of the Sky Sports coverage. Could somebody ask them to push their scoreboard graphics to the right of the screen a bit so that those without widescreen can see the clock. Had no idea how long there was to go through the whole game.

 

[Spot On]

sorry, my bad. Wrong forum. Big win to the warriors +20. You heard it hear first.

Well, they nearly scored 20 points!

 

[Rolla]

The worrying thing is, we might not be underdogs next week.

 

[Silent Knight]

Warriors season is Aragooooooonnnnneeeeeeee :lol:

 

[Silent Knight]

The worrying thing is, we might not be underdogs next week.

Of course we are. The Raiders did a number on us on our home turf a few rounds ago, and now we're heading down there.

You heard it here first. Raiders by 50.

 

[IanG]

Also nice to not to have to wear the away strip tonight. Looks like they had to dust off an old set without the SportsBet sponsor on the back

Well played knights. As furious as I am with the Warriors, it would be remiss not to applaud the ticker and urgency your team showed tonight.

After match interview with Wayne. He stumbled over Dane's surname lol

 

[Jobdog]

Sure, you can twist stats to suit whatever agenda you like, but in all of our wins this season, we haven't conceded a single point in the 20 minutes straight after halftime. Not a bad effort from a team that has traditionally been terrible in the second half.

 

[Zoidberg]

Just got home and started watching a recoding of the game...lot to 18-0 so I checked the final score to see if it was worth watching the whole game....nearly choked when I saw we won.

Good stuff fellas!

 

[knightsarmy]

Finally work on Monday after a warriors vs knights game will be worth it .. long time between drinks for the kiwi knights supporters

IanG, you can change the screen set up with your foxtel/austar remote to widescreen which will let you see the score/clock graphic during Warriors home games

 

[Burwood]

Some interesting comments from Wayne in the post-match press conference. Pretty much says that he kept Tets off the field for the entire second half because he was a rookie and likely to cost Newcastle the win in such a tight match.

Hard to disagree with rookies being more likely to make mistakes in a pressure situation, but seems highly unusual for Bennett to single him out in a press conference and show that he has zero faith in the guy.

I don't have Foxtel. I was watching it down at the club. They project it onto a wall, but I appreciate the feedback

I've said it before, Tets' defence is suss. I'm glad Wayne has said what he said publicly. He needs to pull his finger out.

Would have added to the excitement of it all though ;-)

I have to admit it did yes
