Elimination Final - Knights V Raiders - Sunday 10 September 4:05pm - McDonald Jones Stadium

[slotmachine]

I'm going to watch this Ricky Stewart press conference on repeat for the next week

Feed me the tears haha

Was a real let down imo, he dodged the question about wighton's bite and didn't even rant about the world being out to get the raiders.

2/10 sticky presser

 

[Mclovin]

Anyone at the game?? I need to know what the atmosphere was like. It sounded awesome on TV

 

[krustykraz]

Kurt Mann was surprising good at 5/8.

 

[Nathanwill5]

That was a long two hours. We had our young nephew over I think I taught him some new words… My daughter just said the Knights are playing.

Kurt Mann was surprising good at 5/8.

Mann was always the right choice for us at 14. Feel like he’s delivered more often then not in high pressure moments. It’s the standard week in week out games where he gets moved every other game that he’s always sucked. He was terrific today.

Had a good chuckle when I read this:

68:37 Penalty - Slow Peel Lachlan Fitzgibbon
72:26 Penalty - Hand in the Ruck Lachlan Fitzgibbon
74:36 Knock on Lachlan Fitzgibbon
76:20 Interchange #9 Off Lachlan Fitzgibbon

 

[le scerge d'argent]

Greg Alexander is an absolute utter goose! And the other bloke is not much better

Fitz went off ages before the 76th minute. I was in front of the bench and I reckon he left at maybe the 60th minute?

It was awesome, went a bit quiet towards the end of the first. I have no voice.

He was paying tribute to Gagai's first half, it was an an awful finish to the game from Fitz.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

It was crazy. We haven’t been that bad in 4 months and we put that performance on in the 1st half.

Props to them for getting back into and winning. Especially Gags he would’ve had no confidence after the 1st half but came back and had a strong 2nd half.

Gagai has had more howlers in his career than long showers but he always bounces back.

Kurt Mann was surprising good at 5/8.

He adjusted well and we attacked really well with him, that wouldn't have been easy. As AOB said in the presser, how good was Ponga switching sides because of the Hastings injury, as well! Amazing performance from him.

Tell the official NRL stats-person who has him off at 76:20

Was at the game, the crowd were loud, filthy at Wighton and chanted “bulls*t” the whole of the next set it was awesome. Tiny section of Raiders fans, you could not hear them at all.

Great to come away with the win, we definetly didn’t gel like we did previous weeks and a lot of nerves were on display. Any win here on in is a big bonus.

 

[what's that pong]

Nah, I watched. KP was nothing special, and poor in defence. That is to be expected when you are injured. He played awesome for a bloke with one arm. But we would have been better off with a bloke with two.
You really think it is a coincidence that the Raiders almost beat us when we played with so many injured players. And only one of them finished the game.
Anyone that thinks its smart to play players that have a low chance of finishing the game or playing to at least 50% of their ability must have two ****s.

Tell me you know nothing about football without tell me you know nothing about football.

I watched KP closely especially early on he did not seem afraid of contact even chased his own kick and launched him self at Rapana.

Yes we didn't play well but without KP we lose plain and simple

He was arguably the difference. Particularly on the right edge and his kicking.

 

[Sarge]

1 try assist, 6 tackles, 14 runs and 2 errors to go with that try. He had an ordinary game. Plain and simple.

No Ponga no win

Leading into the game I wasn't too nervous about Miller coming into the side. After the game that it turned out to be, god I'm glad we had Ponga. He stood up.

Yeh that’s up there as one of the loudest games I’ve been too. I also have no voice but worth every cent

 

[jamesgould]

I'd say today was a textbook example of a big name player owning a finals game. Ponga was immense.
