Round 23 Game Day Thread: Eels v Knights

[Clifferd]

I'm sure the Roosters will go downhill fast with him at the back.

Can only hope because f**k the roosters

Is 4th any better? Going down to play the storm wont end well.

Except at least I'll get to watch it live. I was out of town when they played here a few weeks ago.

Newcastle's last away win was in Melbourne in round 24, 2015. The Storm were at full strength (albeit with Munster in for Slater) and lost 20-6.

By the way, Perenara was the ref for that game as well.

Isn't it the same thing?

Our attack ATM is pass it to Tedesco and hope for the best

Sounds a lot like us from 09-14 with Hayne

Attitude and application aside, it's pretty heartening to know that we can compete without:

* Our first and second choice hookers
* Our first and second choice fullbacks
* Our co-captain

We've been missing Gutherson, De Gois (I know he has limitations to his game, but he is desperately missed in D, imo), Pritchard, Scott, and French for large chunks of this season, and still competed well.

I know we will be a better side with French and Scott back in it.

Still - doesn't really excuse the boys' performance last night.

Have we ever produced a good performance for our 'leaders' in milestone games? Cayless, Hindy, Burt, Mannah - Im pretty sure we have lost most of their milestone games. Melbourne on the other hand...

Lols at the Knights we send our legends off with career ending injuries

Congrats on a terrific win, mate!

f**k off rApey. You merkin.

Game like yesterday we missed Kaysa and Gutherson. They have energy.

 

[Chipmunk]

If we play Brisbane last night I believe we win. We were slack because of our opponent...

So we're playing another poor team next week. Will we play poorly again?

I think we won Hindy's 300th but pretty sure we have lost every other milestone game in the last 10 or so years.

What am I psychic?

Are we playing the current last placed side?

It's an interesting question. Newcastle the last few weeks are probably going better than the Dogs and the Titans.

We also lost on striders birthday. Does that count?

I reckon there's a good chance.
