Why Are Newcastle So Crap?

Eh, I thought Storm were very average in the first half (when Knights lead at half time) but their spine went to another level in the second half. We have the worst spine in the comp at the moment and the final scores reflected the class difference.

Fair call. Great crowd. Close to the best fans in the game. Bloody patient.

Tbh there’s no point getting furious when they’re completely outclassed on paper most weeks. I think most of the fans get the clubs in a bad spot at the moment.

I’m on the fence about AOB being sacked as I’m not sure any other coach could do much more with what’s happened to the roster this year and tbh has probably overachieved getting us into finals 4/5 years as we’ve never really had a good roster outside of our outside backs. I really don’t like him but some would be doing a lot worse.

I get it mate. My club is a grind to watch right now but we are simply underperforming tbh. Too many egos and not enough commitment. Your blokes looked fine in the first half. Storm are a very good side and have a great roster. They got away with it a bit today. Good luck with the rest of the season :)

Who would be the best, if the Knights fans are close to it?
Who else's fans will turn up, rain, hail or shine, whether their team winning or losing, and in large numbers?

Genuine question.

Gotcha. I read it as that there was a team's supporters rated more highly. I genuinely couldn't think of who else would top the Knights in this regard. I was trying to take my red and blue tinted glasses off!

My wife will never read this, so I still shouldn't say it, but that was still the greatest day of my life. I was 16 then and at the stadium (despite living in Perth), and no matter how many great days I've had since, nothing had topped that day. I'm gonna call it now: Nothing ever will..! Haha!

You're the same age as me, I live in the Hunter and despite not being a knights fan the celebrations of that win were phenomenal.

Did you go back to Newcastle Leagues after the game?
I was there with my friends loving it even though none of us were Knights fans. It seemed much bigger than sport at that time.

Ponga f**king off probably wouldn't be the worst result for Newcastle. Yes, losing him and the coach in the one year is going to set them well back....but he is not earning his money for them right now, nowhere near it. He is clearly unhappy, it's reflecting in his form, and that is more or less the end of the discussion. They could sign 3+ quality players they desperately need across the 13 with the coin he is on.
