Round 7: Newcastle Knights vs North Queensland Cowboys

[knightime]

Who is the number 4 for Knights?
He is shocking in defence

Shibs I think.

 

[slotmachine]

Nice having fitz back

 

[slotmachine]

****s sake kayln learn how to kick conversions

 

[Battler]

He's been good in an awful side.

 

[OnTilt]

We really need to find a better kicker

 

[Battler]

Love the six again on the first tackle.

 

[slotmachine]

He's been good in an awful side.

No disrespect to Guerra and Sione cause they try as hard as anyone but no one is worried about their attacking threat these days.

 

[rhugh89]

Not the result we wanted and plenty to work on

Congrats @cowboyman

Our attack isn't a problem.

 

[Battler]

Yep. Sione has been pretty good defensively to be fair. We miss Barnett heaps.

 

[slotmachine]

A better kicker and we're in with a sniff here

Our attack isn't a problem.

Like the Storm game way too many dropped balls

 

[OnTilt]

The team that wanted it more won, knights need a big attitude adjustment. Few people need to get dropped.

 

[knights22]

Our attack is definitely a problem, but not a problem for now. Holding the ball has been an issue the last 3 weeks, and we were finally punished for it. Last 3 years we've played a good first half, and clocked off in the second. Now we just don't bothr showing up in the first half and hope we can chase them down.

Credit to Cowboys they shut Ponga out of the game very well. No doubt Drinkwater has been well trained during his time with the Master Grub.

Needed that win with a tough road ahead. Might well be a good wake up call.

Who else can kick?
from my memory Hunt goes alright at conversions i think

 

[Battler]

We really need a kicking game. It's so telegraphed that it will go to Mitch on the last, and when it does it's an ordinary bomb that pressures nobody. Mann has been quite good as a running five-eighth but his kicking game is no better, Kayln can chime in from time-to-time but if he's our second kicker we need a lot more from our primary kicker.

 

[JOJO82]

We lost that game because of crap attitude in the first half...we had more than enough firepower when they decided to play. Same as the storm game, horrendous opening 40.
Must be reading all the hype...we are still way off the top teams.

 

[Defender1]

Not worth saying too much about that first half, other than; they should be embarrassed in themselves.

All the momentum went Cowgirls way from 3 early errors from Shibisaki so he can go next week, Hoy is a one trick pony and offers bugger all at NRL level and hopefully we don't see him again this year, and Guerra to be the unlucky man to miss out for Barnett...

Best, Randall and Barnett to come in.

I’d like to say Ponga going the short game kicking. Pearce has never been good. 32 points is just woeful.
