Lamb and Hodko have been good ever since the forwards have been aiming up and doing their job.
It just goes to prove, yet again, that halves can't look good behind forwards that are getting smashed.

Billy, the forward pack going forward no doubt helps hugely but you simply cannot say that's why Hokko wasn't choosing to kick the ball earlier in the season. He wasn't trying, he's had a wake up call & is now trying, even still, his kicking game hasn't exactly come good. Lamb is benefiting, although I put it mostly down to his confidence just naturally growing as the season goes on.
 
Really enjoyed watching us execute scoring plays, putting in consistent D (in numbers too) and not being dumb. Great start to the weekend and who would have thought 3 wins in a row!!!! Next week vs Storm is going to be an amazing afternoon of footy!!

All I know is, Hodko goes OK if the forwards hold their own, and visa versa.
 
Matt Gillette... 2 missed tackles, 98 mtrs. Can't believe he plays for Aus, Qld and a top 4 team. Should be sacked.
 
Proud of the boys. Can definitely hold their head high tonight. Lots of silly mistakes but damn we could become a great side if we minimize them.
 
Was thinking of you mate, what a game to go to!

Ha, I know, my only away game all year and we pull that out I was hoarse by the end of the game. Getting the Newcastle chant going, yelling all game, loved it. Went a few bays around to the gathered Knights faithful at the end to congratulate the boys.

Awesome. The Parra fans around us were pretty quiet.

What I enjoyed about that game, was we won without Parra putting in a rubbish performance. We held our own against a team way above the ladder who didn't stop trying all game, and honestly they didn't play terribly, they made errors sure, but we had to earn this one, and we did. We just out played them.
