Vs Knights Rd 8

[Beavers Headgear]

Last tackle for the Warriors has been abysmal while the Knights have been pinpoint

 

[Blair]

All at the wrong end for us. Dowall held up, then next play they shift it across the field and score.

Game over, Benek, indeed. This 'alien-interference' on the radio is getting on my nerves, adding to a frustrating experience.

A die-hard would say there's still 11 mins to go...

 

[Benek]

Possibly season over. Falling way out of top 8. And we're not even beating the easier teams.

 

[Benek]

How good have Pierce and Ponga been at neutralising RTS!? Every kick over the sideline. He's hardly seen the ball.

They just said (on NZ Radio Sport) he's never had a game where he's not run 100 metres. He's currently on 68.

 

[Benek]

When teams shut down our back three, our softness in the middle becomes more obvious. The recipe for beating the warriors is really simple.

 

[Blair]

If it was us we'd be nervous leading 28-18 with seven minutes to go.

...but Ponga in. Great solo try. 32-18 kick to come.

 

[Blair]

Perham and Roache sitting on the bench. Why?

 

[Benek]

No they are both on field.

 

[Blair]

36-18. Final.

A hiding at home.

 

[Blair]

No they are both on field.

Sorry, my apologies for listening to Tony Kemp. In fairness, the alien-static may have interfered with the transmission.

 

[Matua]

Awful.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Forwards got smashed, halves got completely outclassed and the coach got out coached, knights gameplan was perfect

 

[VillaTheGorilla]

Smashed up front all game. Not really surprising with the bench we had.

It doesn't matter how good Nikorima is, if our forwards get dominated like that you have very little chance to do anything.

Blair...needs to go.
I thought Papalli was poor.
CHT was really bad too.
Outside of Tohu, Maumalo and Paasi, I thought the rest of the team were either very quiet or poor. Very very flat performance

 

[Penrose Warrior]

The apologies need to go to you and me for having to listen to that muppet. My personal favourite was when in the first half he said the Knights should take the 2, they didn't, they got another penalty, he said in a very cocky voice 'they're taking the 2' then said in the next sentence they should probably tap and keep the pressure on.

Following the Warriors is hard enough without having to put up with him.

Spoon this year boys. Put your house on it.

Don't see anyone worse

Don't see anyone worse

The Panthers are last at the moment and they are way better than us.

 

[Blair]

The Panthers are last at the moment and they are way better than us.

They'll fix that, with interest, when we meet in two weeks time.

 

[WellsNZ]

There's a long list of issues from this one, but Bunty not playing really stood out. Really missed some of the hard runs he brings to the table.
