[Kilkenny]

The wins by the Bunnies and Titans are to our benefit so it is massively important we get the job done tomorrow to capitalise.

Anyone know how TMM went?

This ref In the 20's must have money on the knights, absolutely atrocious !

 

[Luke Bowden]

RCG is back, named on the bench.

Was thinking same think
Penrith close calls always no
Knights even blatant non try's thumbs up
Hate to call refs 1 sided but this was one of the most blatant displays I've seen

 

[meek]

I know RCG has a fan club on here
But not sure if he really improves the team
Sorry don't see him on the bench as a bonus
Hope I'm wrong and he has a blinder

He was the Newcastle equivalent to the great Qld grasshopper but worse !

Despite the loss, the U20's have today secured the minor premiership with the Cows going down.

 

[Black Magik]

Good second half. Sounds like the refs decided who was getting all the 50/50 calls in both games.

What was the 20's score?

 

[mxlegend99]

Average first half but penalties really killed us. It was our best defensive effort of the year. But we didn't get much thrown at us.

Second half was really good. Until Zac Hardaker came on anyway. He did set Mansour up for a try but it was a mile forward pass from him to do so. Lol.

Moylan was terrific. His ball playing today was unreal. Players running off him are so dangerous as he has great vision to know which pass is on and get it to that player when he needs to.

 

[Blues Riff]

OK, I'm not usually critical of selections, but f**k!, there's a real possibility that Pommy Zak will cost us a spot in the finals. Nice chap, and he'll no doubt benefit from his time in the NRL, but how does that help us? He f**ks it up more often than not. For God's sake put him into reserves 'til we need him. We need forwards on the bench to face the good teams.
What's the point of bringing him on when the game's won or lost.

I hope our reserve grade doesn't make the semis.Imagine having a dream team like we had a few months ago,but to forgo it's efforts to prop up a reserve grade team.

I understand Cleary's exit,he is an exception to the rule.

I hope the club sticks by him.He has the potential.And is only coming to terms the requirements of the NRL.

My bet is that he must have had indifferent form before he came here,because I doubt they would have done the swap if he was killing it.

I thought he might have been used to bring Moylan into the halves and Cartwright into the pack, thereby replacing a forward. I agree, its time to bite the bullet and put him in reggies where he'll get a full game.

We lost 32-24.

Some of the players looked like they took up playing only last week.

Some parts of that game by us were unbelievably embarrassing.

I hope some of them read this thread to realise how bad they played instead of listening to themselves.

I didn't like Hardaker smiling/borderline laughing after he dropped the ball and kicked it out

Easts beat them and go to 2nd place froggy.

We need just one more win.

And if you have a look,we might play Parra (1v4) in the first week of the finals.Hopefully we get some of our players back from reggies and injury.
