Knights: Lulia in, Tetevano out. Ciraldo starts, Edwards bench. Brisbane: Yow Yeh in, Copley out

 

[Joshhh]

Why would we bring in Lulia?? That's 2 backrowers & 1 prop on the bench now, too many backrowers, not enough props. :think:

Hilder and Lulia 2rf? Edwards and Fa'aoso prop?

I'd say it's to cover for Sau as well as filling in at 2nd row, but Tetevano didn't deserve to be dropped tbh

 

[Joshhh]

Hilder and Lulia 2rf? Edwards and Fa'aoso prop?

Ah yes forgot about Hilder. Still though, Edwards isn't really a prop anymore, so with Hilder it's now like 3 backrowers & a prop. I guess you're right though. Tetevano is unlucky.

Mullen has to step up. If you look at other teams going well, it's mainly because their halves are coming into form. Notably Marshall but also Cherry-Evans.

Come on Mullo, do the damn thing!

 

[Novocastrian90]

If Sáu isn't 100% fit he shouldn't be playing, Tetevano shouldn't have been dropped because of it

 

[Jonno]

Edwards has been playing prop for the majority of the last month or two, except last week.

 

[Madman]

Shane Hayne can go **** himself, no way was that worth a sin bin! Lockyer did the exact same thing and didn't get anything! At least we know who the refs want to win.

 

[Beaumont]

Yes but Lockyer can do no wrong.

 

[Pieguyfly]

Edwards has been playing prop for the majority of the last month or two, except last week.

Yeah tonight i think he is as well, hilder came on for Tui so I think they rotated Edwards to the front.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

I think tonight summarizes our season. Injuries, poor decisions from the ref and too many individual errors. I won't name names. We are clearly lacking the edge that the likes of the Warriors & Broncos have got which puts teams away. Hopefully a nice restructure in 2012 should help us compete better in these must win games. Until then, EPL & Cricket!!

 

[Brogga]

F***ing disgusting, how we appeal to the fans to come out and support us, which we do with 20k there (which is fantasic for a Monday night) and we put on that display is an abortion with our season on the line. I don't think I've sat through a more frustrating and annoying game of football.

 

[NF_47]

The sad thing about tonight is the Donkeys weren't even that good.

 

[Rubbish Binney]

When a team can consistently deliver such ill-discipline and dumb errors you really have to question the authority of the coach.

Our performances over the last couple of weeks show a clear lack of fear in the players - fear of getting dropped, fear of being moved on, fear of the consequences of letting your team-mates down...

There has been a complete lack of confidence in our attack as well. It's all well and good to beat the bottom teams handsomely but where is that against the top 8 teams?

Regardless of his apparent positive efforts in keeping together the group in a year of turmoil - Rick Stone's consistently baffling player selections and failure to instill confidence when it really mattered will unfortunately be his legacy.

 

[Madman]

Disgraceful pathetic performance tonight. It was embarrassing.

 

[NF_47]

2012 hurry up!

 

[Percy]

To the whingers that complain about why we are buying all these players. We need them! To replace the uselessness of the players we have now.
