NRL Round 24 - Cowboys Vs Knights - 4:05pm Sunday 17th August - Country Bank Stadium, Townsville

[Thailands Novacastrian]

I reckon AOB has to be in the running for coach of the year
It takes a special kind of effort to go scoreless in the 1st half for 11 games in a season
That's got to be some sort of record

We’re tied for the record

[Thailands Novacastrian]

We’re tied for the record

Because of last year's final

Without doubt. Could be the week we get 50 against us too

Never seen a team so poorly coached on attack and now defence and stuff up the basic fundamentals so easily.

And we apparently have Blake Green as the replacement for AOB. Appears our decision making off field is as good as on the field.

I reckon our biggest rivalry in the game is holding the ball.

Broncos next week that’s disgusting

Followed by Sharks and Parra

We won’t win another game

Only thing saving us from spoon is Gold Coast wont win 1 either.

 

[Sarge]

Can’t wait until this season ends.

Over these flogs that think they’re professionals.

Yep thank god it's the last home game next week . Guess I'll go & watch the Broncos training run . Is it not old boys day ? Why would they want to turn up & watch this rabble .I'm back on the flick Obi team . The team we ran out today should have played better then that . No exuse!

I give the Titans a chance against the Warriors next week. Warriors have been notoriously bad against them and actually lost to them in Auckland recently.

 

[Long Suffering]

Have ended the season the way we started it - incapable of completing basic rugby league activities like passing, catching, and so on.

Root cause of this would be ??????
Coach?
Training group?
Players?
All of the above?
Select one or more correct answers

We missed Crossland’s energy today. But still would have lost

 

[Roundtable]

Lol it was physically impossible to bomb that.

Not for Cogger.

 

[Goz]

A large part of me wants these performances to continue to surely help force west's board to punt AOB

 

[Les Misérables]

If you are a fullback and can kick half decent it allows a full line of 12 to chase and keep your fullback at the back. Being the coaching expert you are you should of known that.

Sounds good on paper huh, and howd it go in real life?

 

[Seano]

Well, the season is done, and so am I.

Final thoughts for a final post.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who went into this season with low expectations given our roster (although not my old man, who had us winning the title again as he does every year). But I did hope we'd at least be in the mix for the 8, not the spoon, which is increasingly looking like it will be hard to avoid.

However, I am looking forward to next season with several stars returning from injury, an improved roster, and some young talent to be genuinely excited about.

I just hope the Knights get the coaching decision right. That two years left on AOB's deal won't protect forever, with the team looking awful before the injury crisis, they look like a rabble now. If he does survive into next season, I don't for a second believe Peter Parr will give AOB a long reign with a rebuilding/rebuilt roster in 2026/27 if the team is not performing.

Anyway, all the best folks.

 

[Roundtable]

I think we need more drills on the basics.

It's become a bit obvious how much Crossland contributes now that he isn't there.

Teague is the same in reserve grade - hardly notice him, but he works his backside off.

That was the most embarrassing performance I've seen for a long time. The blokes on the matty John's show were trying not to laugh. Please leave aob. The people of newcastle don't deserve a football team like that.
