I know it's a game decided by goalkicking in the end but it's hard to see that one as anything other than a game decided by Ashley Klein & the Bunker. I am ****ing livid. That one's been stolen from us.
NRL Round 20 - Knights Vs Sharks - 6:00pm Friday, 17th of July - Ocean Protect Stadium

Don’t know why everybody is bagging the tripe out of Francis, he had a full head of steam and dom was about 5m behind him and closer to the sideline
Every chance he gets bundled out if he passed to
And he made the line it was just a lucky hand that stopped him scoring
That didn’t lose us the game
The inept first 25mins of second half and some very ordinary play by our halves and edges was the main issue
Gags has shut up shop almost now he got his next contract and Braddy looked way off tonight
Young has caught gagai’s bad form
Think gags could do with a week or two off and give hunt/McArthy a chance
And we need another solid forward out there
Pasami,Hopwood,hola back would be good and starting to allow Friz back to bench and Francis/esl on bench over cant who just seemed to get folded and pushed back all night

Klein was the difference against the Storm, hopefully Holbrook says something, it's got to stop.

I think we're 5 wins 3 losses in games decided by 6 points or less now. it goes both ways, you're not going to win them all.

I'm happy to contribute to the fine. We are far too polite. Like KP, Justin needs to fire up.
Harsh but fair...

Yeah the silliest reaction you can have in footy is a binary "we rule/we suck" based on being on the right side of a 50/50 outcome.
However. I kind of feel like that one was 70/30 us - even with the field position disadvantage, Brown/Sharpe/Ponga are just more dangerous than their guys - and it got stolen from us. So that sucks.

Yeah i cant blame Francis, he looked in for all money, just unlucky
Unfortunately Dom’s form is generally tied to Gags form. Hard for Dom to play well when Gags isn’t playing well inside him. Give Gags a rest for a couple of weeks and give Hunt a run.
Can McEwen play in the middle for a few weeks? He runs harder and has more impact than any of our current middles?

Ridiculous call. I can't believe it stood. That seems to happen to us so often vs Cronulla in particular.
Absolutely Ronaldo plays Dom, not the ball, does it late in the game on the drop out...clearly a deliberate tactic that the Sharks got away with.

We played the Sharks at Cronulla, a place we haven't won at in 12 years, with the ref in their pocket. We didn't play that well, and lost by 2.
I refuse to believe that they are anything but flat track bullies.

I don’t think the Knights get awarded that try that’s for sure.
Beginning of the year it definitely would’ve been a penalty to the Knights and I think it still should’ve been
Holbrook mentioned we didn't get the rub of the green, said Dom could have had 6 or 7 set restarts too.
But no injuries which is a positive, at least.
