Round 5: Newcastle Knights vs Manly Sea Eagles

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

Multiple factors make up reasons why teams make or miss the finals.

Do you judge a player by the amount of tries he scores?

No but I judge a team on wether or not they are good enough to make the 8 or not and if they don't its a fail.

There's not 1 team that doesn't face a chitload of adversities so I don't care about excuses.

Ponga flew back this morning to attend a night session of training tonight and is expected to play tomorrow.

Baz has been saying Ponga will play all week, not sure why this is still a discussion amongst some people.

 

[nunnsy]

Any one know what happened to J-SAF they said he was a chance to play last week. Not named in any sides this weekend.

Multiple factors make up reasons why teams make or miss the finals. - Teams that are good make finals, teams that are crap do not and have failed. Like we have for many years if we don't make the finals this year we are still a crap team that has failed.

Do you judge a player by the amount of tries he scores? - I am not going to argue with such a stupid comparison, enjoy your night.

Yep, this.

I have no time for excuses anymore. We have lived with excuses long enough and whilst ever the coach is running them out he is giving the players a pass for mediocrity.

It's time to sink or swim for Brown.

They can drop him into reserve grade if fit. Because there is no betting on reserve grade, they can start with a dozen changes if they feel like it, so just do a cut and paste side on Tuesday and decide the real side after training.
In short, if he's fit, he'll play reserve grade.

 

[mozza]

With Sione out surely we don’t concede a point and win by 50?

Will be interesting to see who everyone blames for anything negative.

 

[mozza]

Barnett, Hunt and Watson are my trifecta.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

Watson to FB if KP didn't play, rest of the side as announced.

Watson in doubt along with others what if they are out, Ponga no play, Watson, Mann Sione out, who plays f/b

Well I don't think there is any chance Ponga will not play, and at the same time Watson will be out. But I get your point on depth, we don't ever seem to get through a year without being stretched for depth.

You miss out mozza. You forgot the refs!!!!!

Look on the bright side guys. We still be in front of the Doncs.

Thanks for that, hopefully he can show his true potential still think we can have the best forward pack in the comp if we can get both safiti boys firing in addition to klemmer.

Ponga is in! Watson is healthy

Mate Ponga was declared a starter yesterday...…….. !!

Anyways hope the boys win lose or draw go out and have a go.

And to be honest that this place lose a lot of the nastiness around here that's being going on, becoming like LU and everyone on here is better than that.

Sure we can disagree and heartily disagree with eachother but lets not be pr!cks about it.

I've copped more criticism then most, disagree with me sure and bag my oppinions as much as you want but play the player or I am out of here, and I am sure others (and plenty not posting here anymore.) feel the same.

Anyway go Knights.
