Newcastle Knights V South Sydney Rabbitohs - 4.05 PM

Jesus that was frustrating. Our middles are so much better than there’s are. Play it through the ****ing middle.

Tuala has picked the worst possible time to have a shocker too.
 
I guess shifting Tuala constantly has had to take it's toll. He's been right centre, left centre & left wing this year.
 
Cummins has let Souths lie all over us, so I'd like to hope he keeps his whistle in his pocket second half.
 
Dont see the point in naming a player in a finals game that is going to sit on the bench all game.

Hoy isnt going to make a difference on bench so why pick him.

Randall been very good. Mann for Lino has been a fail so far. Some lazy ruck defence and poor defensive reads killing us.

Now, all the momentum is with Souths. And I keep saying it, but Ponga isnt a better fullback than he is a 5/8.
 
Feel like a broken record for saying it constantly all year....
Why has O’Brien made ponga a right side attacking option?
He hasn’t played left in good ball once all game.

would’ve preferred not starting well and just getting flogged, instead I had this 10 minutes of great hope before realisation kicks in

True. Hoy should never have been picked:)
 
The ridiculous thing about Hoy on the bench, he's not even a game changer. You put Mann on that 14 and let him come on against tired forwards, he's going to destroy them. There is literally no reason to put Hoy in the game. We shouldn't have a player on the bench just to cover for injuries in a finals match.
 
He is not the only one making errors. Barney has dropped two balls and one missed tackle. Whatever the outcome builds a side for next year with Frizelle signed, and Wests seeking a 5/8 and another backrower.
 
That was never a penalty Cummins but you did get the rabbits an 8 point lead.

To the uninitiated it is what is called 'game management'. Same as last night with the Sharkies getting the rough end of the pineapple on a couple of occasions.
