NRL Round 11 - Knights Vs Titans - 2:00pm Sunday, 17th of May - Suncorp Stadium - MAGIC ROUND!!!

Thought we consistantly lost the ruck, but outside the first try where we had horrible first contact on bai leading to that quick play the ball we were nothing but excellent in defense. Thats my big positive takeaway on the back of our attack that was clunky for the most part.
 
Just got done with the replay as I was kicking arse playing hockey this morning.

I get we weren't flashy in attack in the first half but I have to call out basically our whole forward pack. Great works defensively to keep us into that game and allow our backline to ice it in the 2nd.

Croker, my man, we have no player that has improved as much as this guy in an off-season. Its easy when you get played in you favourite position.

Mooney, I was faithful, some weren't that into him. But wow he has applied himself the last few weeks. One silly penalty, but otherwise a frigging great effort. Yes he will make the tough carry.

McEwen, keep it up young fella. Gave away 2 penalties in the 1st half, but he competes and will have a hell of a highlight reel.

OK the other guys, still great effort, BUT, Gags, great try at the end buddy.
 
I did notice Saulo run it off the back fence i couple of times today. Still not did not bend the line much but at least he is giving it a red hot crack. Good to see Marzhew taking the hit up off the kick off and charging back i am pretty sure he did it last week aswell. Like having a extra forward.

Apparently not in the top 10 signings for this season, according to James Graham. Not that his opinion matters, just find it laughable to leave him out. And put guys like Jack Hetherington and Leo in the top 3.

James Graham who said "Knights won't make the 8, they still have too much work to do". two weeks ago after the Knights win over the Rabbitohs hahaha
 
Just caught up with the game. Poor first half. Probably felt like they donut easy. Second half was a lot better. I can see a world next year with Brown and Smith as the halves with best and sharpe as the centres. Value for money Mat Croker is is right up there with what he provides.
 
Dom made no mistakes I can remember.
He has always been a player who makes some errors, but the good outweighs the bad.
This year he has been making less and less mistakes, and today might be one of his best games as a pure footy player.

Yeh he’s good for one every week. Very happy he’s resigned
 
On Saulo, he is really doing nothing wrong. He is what he is. Its up to someone like Hola etc to go well enough for long enough that Holbrook thinks they can do better. I dont think it will be long.

True but if anything the way it’s been going Crouch might be the one to come in, he is going great this year
 
Crouch is playing big minutes and racking up run metres but wouldn’t be in that role in first grade, and don’t think he’d be any more impactful than Saulo in the same role. He’s a toiler as well. Hopwood is next in line, and then Hola and ESL have both been preferred so far.

Don’t think Saulo is really in danger of getting dropped anyway, he’s going his job.
