NRL Round 10 - Knights Vs Titans - 6:00pm Friday 9th May - McDonald Jones Stadium

Press conference.

AOB: “It’s a simple game”. Some players aren’t doing the fundamentals. Said he was part of the problem. Embarrassing. Does not know what’s happening with Dom.

KP: our spine got excited near half time.
 
They quit when titans scored in the first half! We never show urgency we can’t play with momentum and we can’t wrestle momentum back! We are headed for wooden spoon

I want to see a reaction from the coach next week. A change of personnel, positions, game plan, AOB comes down to watch the game from the sideline like Ricky. Something, anything!

Because the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, and that includes watching that sh!tte.

I’d prefer him to just be sacked tbh.
 
Trying to take my livid emotion out of it, if we can fix up our basic handeling errors our biggest concern is our bench middles, jsaf and frizz absolutely dominated that first 30 and it was reflected on the scoreboard. The next 20-25 we lost the middle badly, is there an argument for switching frizz and elliot purely for balance or maybe starting bj/croker over leo?
 
Ok we lack something without JSaf and Leo when they are off, surely the coach sees that, rotate them play Frizell starting prop with Leo replacing JSaf let Brodie, Croker relieve Frizell 25-30 each with JSaf and Leo playing around 40 each, Elliott, Crossland and Brailey share the time at 9 & 13.
Basically I think we have serious problems at 7 & 9 and we need to change things, firstly Brailey is leaving so of to Cup, Crossland best is defence so inclined to give Arthur 20mins either side of half, the better he goes the less Crossland plays at 9, can be used at 13.

The starting middles aren’t dominant enough for us to get away with pulling one of them. We’d lose the middle all game rather than just half of it.
 
Strewth….watched the first half from the gym and then headed into work, was gonna watch the second half on delay at lunchtime. Got too excited so nipped away to watch highlights on YouTube. What the heck happened in the second half? Looked like we properly dropped our load when they scored their second try. This team pisses me off so much! 😤

He singled out the outside backs costing us which was spot on , cant hang this one on aob at all .. even his biggest haters see that surely

But why are they taking the second hit up in the opening set of the game?

I know outside back carries are hugely important in the modern game but GEE we ask for a lot of them out of ours. More than any other team I reckon.

Which means we have the most fatigued outside backs in the game.

What do fatigued players do, commonly?
 
Send KP to the chooks for Dom, Sandon Smith and the best forward they're willing to let go with what's left.

Not sure I'm even joking anymore.

And send Jack Cogger to McDonald's to join their management training program.

Yep we saw what happened when DSaf was out and it was just Leo. We got destroyed.

DSaf is genuinely our only impactful meter eating middle forward. Most clubs have at least 3-4 of him.

I don’t want to blame the forwards too much though. They must be unbelievably frustrated doing all the grunt work for the backs to drop the ball constantly.
