NRL Round 10 - Knights Vs Dragons - 3:00pm Saturday, 9th of May - WIN Stadium

[HarVeeGee13]

I thought Sharpe had his best game at 5/8 yet.
He ran at the right times and gave plenty of good ball to his outside men as well.

Marzhew got 114 fantasy points. Apart from his 5 tries, the outstanding stat was 7 line breaks. Dom only got 5 line breaks.

Jinx. I was really impressed.

It’s the Brown & Ponga show with him as guy #3 but he has been a star in that role.

 

[Die Hard]

Sharpe is an absolute football nerd, he does enough home work to do any job he is capable to a high degree, guess he won't be a halfback as we have Brown for that but he will make a very good 6.

 

[alexwilliams]

What's wild is that Sharpe still isn't even 100% yet. Scary but sexy stuff

 

[what's that pong]

After watching the game. It’s evident Sandon Smith isn’t a hooker. He is wasting a spot on the bench. He is also too good to play reserve grade. The knights should let him go to another club, free up some cash to get a good forward.

Who do we use in the half's when Injuries hit again ?

Fun thing is that Brown is thriving at 7 and has really warmed up to the role based on recent interviews.

Gamble can fill that void. Sandon is too good of player to be a back up half. He could walk into a few teams next year.

Yeah, it looked like he was playing more like a dominant 7 today. His long kicking game was excellent.

Yeah, nah. I'd rather keep him. Screw the other teams

 

[Seano]

Gamble isn't ahead of Sandon, who is signed until 2029. He's not going anywhere.

 

[Vagabond89]

Surely Gamble is gone at years end

 

[Seano]

Knights move into 5th on the real ladder with that result, behind the Cows on for and against by 4 pts atm. Will still be in the 8 after the remaining games, no matter what the results are.

 

[alexwilliams]

Our back 5 combined for a total of 1,034 m tonight

 

[Mclovin]

I know a lot of us are going to say that was an easy game and what not but the boys still had to go out there and win it and they did it comfortably, they played it really well and the only trys against us were off kicks near Marzhew (nothing new there)
I thought our defence was strong and obviously the attack just clicked.
You gotta love watching Brown just accelerate at the line, it must be hard defend.
Kayln will back to practising kicking off a tee this week at training but he has been so exciting to watch.
Let's go Newcastle!

 

[Macca89]

Knights 2016 or Dragons 2026?

Very similar situation

I won't say it was an easy game, we played in a way that made it one. That was a pretty big step for us mentality wise today. Good to be able to cruise for the back end of the game for once.

 

[alexwilliams]

I think that puts us up to 50 tries for the year already too... Which puts us in first for tries scored (so far) alongside Penrith and Roosters.

We now only need 11 more tries to equal the total amount of tries we scored last year

 

[Macca89]

Only jagged one

And a draw

 

[Macca89]

Gotta pay the man, never went to see him play for another team

I don’t think he will

Felt like contact & completions were an emphasis early. And yeah that set it up.
