McCarthy outplayed him easily in cup and by far has a better defensive record I mean it toke what 4 games from Kyle in first grade before he missed 1 tackle?

You can like him all you want that’s your opinion, we have never won any of the three games he started at centre and he is a pure hype job, but I guess we will find out against the Dolphins where he will be marking Jake, I’ll be paying super close attention this time and try and find this super ultra talented player that has yet to show up.

But hey I might be wrong despite everything else point that way, like I said I’ll pay super close attention to just him this time.

Oh and let’s not forget last time he was named centre the actual coach himself pulled him to the bench for Sharpe who at that time played zero minutes as a centre in first grade… ringing endorsement

Like I said I dont understand this way of thinking.

Well if you say so James, I worried now also. You are braining the tipping comp right now. Do you know what your position is overall?

Weirdly since I’ve had the wife living with me for the last two years, I’ve seen the least amount of NRL ever, I really only get a chance to catch Knights games atm. Yet I’ve always been terrible at tipping, and the last two years I’ve become great! It doesn’t make much sense. Probably illustrating my football observational skills are absolutely atrocious tbh, the less I watch the better! 😂

But I’m 72 out of 11,366 in the Knights tipping comp atm. Only 1,110 in the entire NRL one, not sure how many are in that. But I do see the guy leading the overall NRL one is in the Knights one too, good to see a Knights fan in number one spot!

The team doesn't have an attitude problem, you don't have the whole team chase back a length of field break and line up on the try line by the play the ball with an attitude problem.

Our attack will work if we do the fundamentals right, predominantly hold the ball and respect possession.

Our defence is already passable and we do need to improve a little with that. Dolphins will score points no matter our defence so the key to this is holding the ball and executing.

This really should be a high scoring slugfest. It will be if we are up for it, or it could be a heavy defeat if we aren't.

Actually thought the final 20 on the weekend was really good from us, too. Only scored the 6 points, but we took control for that period and played some good footy. If we can replicate that for the whole 80, we will be competitive.

For years we've struggled when we are favourites and lift when we are underdogs.
Just one game I'd like to see us destroy a bottom of the table side.

We did, against the Dragons (rd 10) and Titans in the 2nd half (rd 11). Ponga hasn't been at his best ever since the origin period started, as has most of the team. It's night and day the way we play when Ponga is playing at top form. I think he will lift post origin and hopefully we can recapture our best.

We finish the season on minimum 34pts unless we completely **** the bed. More likely 38 if we stay injury free and don’t excel.

We'll find another 8 points minimum. Given how tight the top 8 is, that likely won't be enough to play finals. If we play well and have some luck we could end up with 12-14 points which will situate us close to if not in the top 4.

So there's not much between failure and success from here.
