NRL Round 18 - Knights Vs Dolphins - 4:05pm Sunday, 5th of July - McDonald Jones Stadium

He set up on the 4th and brown ran in front of him and stole the pass

Probably a good thing. He would have shanked it

 

[Sheent14]

That was ****ing horrible, we got so lucky both half’s need a good hard look, even with Browns field goal he did nothing else all game

Brown never does "nothing" in any game. He is consistently the best defender on the field every game. Literally one entire half of the game.

 

[Macca89]

I reckon we’ve done well winning that considering we lost Mooney before the game and then Saifiti inside 15min with a couple of young front rowers to replace them.

Crouch on Debut. 9 runs 72m 25 tackles 0 missed Not a bad debut I thought. Hopwood looked good too. Thought Frizell worked his *** off. Besides that dropped ball in the first hard he was good.

Reckon we left a few tries out there and made it very hard on ourselves but how good is it sitting in the top 4!

You don't pay your halfback 1.3m to tackle. He's struggling

Agreed, he needs to contribute more in attack, especially when we have players out. But he has saved us on quite a few occasions in defence this season already. (not tonight necessarily)

I'm surprised people are upset with the performance. We beat dolphins who people think are the second best team in the comp. We are winning ugly and our bad performances are winning ugly, 7/8 playing bad with the second most wins.

I'll take that any year, if we start to click we can do real damage

Can't be upset with that performance. The effort was there all game, just some silly moments, like in most games.

 

[NotTheSpooners2026]

Winning horrible has technically put us in 2nd place if you give everyone the byes

 

[Alex]

We now have one more win than the two teams above us on the ladder

 

[Macca89]

With a bye up our sleeve

Mate they had 7 outs... 7!

 

[krustykraz]

Great win against the form team in the comp imo.
Not perfect but did very well to win that.
Top four!

Dolphins have still been putting on big scores with players out.

What about icing the winning field goal?

 

[Tobe Fair]

Chill out.

I’m not on the Hunt hate bandwagon. I usually advocate for his development and see a future for him here at the Knights.

He’s capable of some poor errors that he will hopefully minimise from his game the more he plays. As you say, he’s 20, he’s going to get better.

Doesn’t change that he can be error prone, he made 9 in reserve grade last week. You can’t ignore the errors and poor side of his game and only celebrate the good moments.

He’s having a great game today and he always gives 110%.

Just get off the kids back mate. It benefits no one for you to pronounce the kid gives 1/10 in games. He always gives 100% we haven't had that in Knights colours for years.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

how sexy is a win going into the bye!

 

[Alex]

Mate they had 7 outs... 7!

And we had our two starting front rowers out

It’s about what it represents, we also struggled like this against last in the league and Parra.

You can’t keep playing like this because you won’t keep winning, we got lucky on a few calls tonight.

Until we stop inviting teams back into games we will always be simply making up the numbers

 

[Sarge]

Yep they have very good depth.The are definitely one of the premiership favourites in my book

 

[Grandpa Joe]

What about icing the winning field goal?

Are you drunk slots? We lose 3/4 games with him there.

 

[Macca89]

Considering the last 15 years we have gone through, all the spoons, winning 1 game in 2016, finishing with the spoon last year with the worst attack, I’m quite happy we are winning all these games. Albeit winning ugly but I reckon everyone on here would have sold their left nut last year to be winning games like this
