NRL Round 14 - Knights Vs Sea Eagles - 7:50pm Thursday 5th June - McDonald Jones Stadium

Sharpe’s natural ability is off the charts. The play is dead on the Schiller try but then he sucks in three defenders and it’s back on again.

Easier to buy him as a half just playing what he sees & sweating on KPP/Gagai second phase. The shape work on the left doesn’t play to his strengths (it does play to Dylan Brown’s strengths though…).
 
Well you almost feel like a gaslighting POS for saying what was said given that disaster piece that was the first half up against one of the craziest comebacks I’ve seen in nearly 40 years of watching this game. Certainly a tale of two halves!

Honestly walking into and out of the sheds at half time they looked like they just fought on the western front. They looked like kids that had seen some horrors and then didn’t want to go back. Proper shell shock.

Gagai… well again I feel like a dog calling for him to hang up the boots as he made me look silly! Wound back the clock for his nan with 10 line breaks, what a machine.

I had money on Hunt to score but in a multi that didn’t get up. He’s looked so likely for weeks just needing some nice kicks and finally saw a couple! A future super star.

Can’t believe KPP waited until he’s signed on to another team before he started playing like an animal but it happens and happens a lot.

Schiller. Well I would have bet the house in the first 50mins that his career in the centres was completely destroyed. That was a dog turds and diamonds kind of performance tonight which may have bought him another chance. Reckon he will take away a lot from that.

Sharp is a freak as always and Ponga showed some much needed brilliance mixed with some pretty ordinary stuff. Marz came back with a vengeance too.

What a strange game.
 
That 2nd half was brilliant. Crazy what a bit of 2nd phase does for you. That right edge was lethal and I’ll give Cogger credit for unlocking it, just giving KPP and Gags early ball.

On Gagai can we do a whip around? I’ll pay some of his salary next year.

The Fletcher’s really stood up inspite of their rank names and Marz showed just how good he can be.

To be without our 3 best middles and losing Friz early that has to go down as one our gutsiest wins ever.

Really looking forward to them totally disappointing me next week.
Yep just got home , thought this forum would make interesting reading 😀We had no right to win that . Gutsiest win in years!
 
Croker, Jones, Brailey and Crossland were unsung heroes tonight. Second half everyone was good but when we’re severely undermanned to control the middle was an unbelievable effort.o
All put in a huge shift.

That’s the best use of Crossland, 25 minutes at 9 then a huge stint at 13. I don’t buy Arthur as an 80 minute hooker in the NRL, at least not before he’s 25 honestly. So that can work.
 
I’m one of Marzhew’s biggest supporters, but Hunt is doing himself every favour to nab that left wing spot when fully fit. Good on him. Young/KPP and Hunt should be constant kick threats.

If Marzhew could tackle he’d be an unstoppable impact forward.

Some of the funniest reading on this forum I have done In a while.

I stopped watching when Manly scored that first try that was disallowed, came back on when we were just about to score the try to level us at 16 all.

Neighbours came over to see what the fuss was about when I was swearing everytime the boys made a break to score which has been a while.

They stayed for the very last try and I think there will be some government authority rocking up tomorrow morning to take me out In straight jacket the way I was riding every last bit of the game.
 
Great result for the Knights, probably bad news for the Blues as DCE will almost certainly be dropped. I'd be worried about that $1m contract if I was DCE, a couple of years ago, he would have choked us out of the game before any chance of a comeback. Happy to see that smug grin wiped off his face.

How sick must the Manly fans be rn. Going to be a good weekend.
