1 - Ponga 1 - Gagai 1 - Cogger 1 - Sharpe 1 - Best 1 - Crossland Team effort means they all deserved points this round...let's hope they can deliver again next week against much tougher opposition

I actually expect Crossland to go up another level as a representative player when he is picked for NZ in the end of year Pacific Championships (I think he's an absolute certainty)...and that will only build his confidence and be of benefit to the Knights for the following seasons.

As much as I honestly believe he is clearly (and unfairly) singled out by referees (where others get a 'free ride'), I think he would need to work harder on making sure he isn't spending regular time in the bin/giving away multiple penalties/6 agains during a game to be seen in a co-captain's...

Sorry - been a bit slack maintaining the updates in this thread....

Yep - good time to let White continue to work on her game when she's coming back with confidence. I think re the run home with games in Qld, at least we had quite a few of our squad having a good, extended pre-season up there, so their ability to be able to acclimatise and adapt is made a...

I think Gus has been seeing what many have seen (including some on here for a while) and like any good commentator he brings it out and can back it up with examples that supports the point, once you make others focus on it and see what he means. I understand the decoy argument you are...

In looking at Leo's value, you've got to allow for the fact he is a youngish front rower (he turned 24 in March this year), that was a late convert to Rugby League from Union and he still managed to get a Test debut last year. For me there is a bit of 'second season' syndrome for Leo in finding...

I actually think he still has it in him to be a solid top 8 number 9, with a couple of good years in him for many of the Teams in the NRL. I get and agree with O'Sullivan that we needed to move him on because his window of opportunity here has gone and I think the change will be mutually...

LMAO - that needs to be posted up in the change room and clearly visible to cameras during game coverage :applause: :applause: :applause:

Just following on from Gould's Statement's and Newygirl's post above around Ponga's access to the ball/frustration... I think the biggest frustration for Ponga this week (and it has been evident in past few weeks i've been focussing on it) is the poor service he seems to get from Brailey in...

2 - Upton 1 - Clydsdale 1 - Higgins 1 - Roache 1 - Jones

A lot of positives out of today for the Knights: * we finally seem to have an attacking structure that is giving us go forward and finding the try line more regularly * Our stocks are pretty good when you can bring players like Evie Jones in the squad…great debut * Having the GOAT in our...

I see what you did there @Billy. channeling your ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ 🤣🤣🤣

It does sound absolutely chaotic like you said but it is also a great window into how his mind worked out in the thick of it. It also shows how much trust and faith it takes from everybody in the team to follow someone like Joey (as a ‘conductor’) to follow a song that you’ve never played...

Just re the Brownie/AOB comparison....both of them have done some good things for the club in moving us forward both structurally, playing roster, back of house capability, etc. BUT what both of them have also given us is this: * a very poor coaching/game plan strategy based on a 'safe'...

I actually think it has the potential to be a really valuable reset for both of their careers....and will mean they can forge their individual paths without being seen as 2 halves of a forward rotation. It will also hold them more to account because their workload will be seen and scrutinised...

I sometimes forget how much of a 'professor' of the game Joey actually is, because the rest of the commentary team are usually always trying to gee him up/take the p!$$ out of him on 9 when he is delivering these sorts of insights throughout the coverage.... But when he has the time to prepare...

Unless is was Phoenix being the player that was 1/2 a metre off side...then they jump all over him and send him to the bin?! 😒

My BIGGEST CONCERN with all of this crap that is going on right now is the mindset and impact it will have on all the talented juniors we are now starting to genuinely develop and bring through the structures....who would want to be signing on with us for a long term future contract that they...
