[KPGreatness]

Depths in the halves are great, last year having a injury to a halve member and we would have collapsed, great to see them dig in, the purchases are great, Mooney played great and shut some mouths.

I would like Hopwood in the lineup in round 2 for some size but I’m buzzing

 

[KriKri]

Great win. Many positives to take out of that game. Proved a lot of doubters wrong. Not a perfect game by any means but man it feels good.
Hope the boys enjoy themselves

Sharpe plays 20 minutes and looks like the most dangerous player on a team featuring Kalyn Ponga and Dylan Brown and then Smith comes on and didn’t put a foot wrong, either. Good result for today but not sure it helps Holbrook’s headache when Fletcher is back.

Guess the argument continues to be that it’s a “good problem to have” but if I was going to argue the point again, where Fletcher really looked incredibly dangerous in this game was stuff like chasing down kicks, running out of dummy half in yardage, etc - ie, stuff that you can do at centre as well.

I came away from that still thinking that Sandon is the right smart footy head to balance the team out.

 

[Joel.M]

Great win!

Only disappoint for me is Saulo but he’s on a cheap contract, would love to see Hopwood get a chance over him

Browns 1st game on the right and went well

 

[Hard Yards]

Can we please never have Anasta on the commentary team ever again. He death rides the Knights worse than Alexander.

 

[Grug]

crossland - 80 minutes - 0 runs for 0 metres - 50 tackles - 57 fantasy points

And that 40/20. Such a good player.

 

[Celticman98]

Braith is a worse commentator than host of NRL 360.

 

[Lefty]

Is anyone missing AOB now?

 

[Macca89]

AOB who?

 

[Hard Yards]

Ponga clear man of the match, but no poor players today.

 

[Tubby]

Great stuff lads! Geez it would be nice to go a season without losing a key play for a long period

 

[Roundtable]

Awesome game. New signings look good

 

[MBQLD]

A great first hit out, lots to be excited about.

I really hope Sharpes injury isn’t anything too scary.

I like seeing the Raiders boys showing what they are capable of. Quite impressed with all the new buys actually they come from successful clubs that know what it takes to get to the top and hopefully it’s a standard the rest of the Knights strive to reach.

So far so good.

 

[Kurriboy]

Great first game.

Defence was outstanding.

So fing glad we punted that nuffy AOB.

 

[Seano]

Taulagi & Mahoney gloating and chirping during the game...enjoy your long trip home boys.

 

[Warbs]

This proves what we all said for years, AOB isn't a first grade NRL coach.

 

[Seano]

So fing glad we punted that nuffy AOB.

Would cost me a multi, but would be happy to have AOB watch the Knights win and then the Dogs get upset by the Dragons.

 

[Breen3]

Couldn’t be happier with the new additions and kp ripping in and owning the team

 

[Jon Snow]

Good win, plenty to work on, but great to see some good unpredictable attack from quality players. Gotta wrap Holbrook too, picked the right side, with good bench rotations.

The only time we needed the AOB one out hitups coaching plan was in the last 4 mins!
