NRL Round 21 - Knights Vs Roosters - 6:00pm Friday, 24th of July - McDonald Jones Stadium

[Alex]

So not only do we lose three games in a row, we lose 2 of our best players to likely season ending injuries.

Hard life being a Knights supporter.

 

[Die Hard]

Sign of good things to come next year for the Knights. With our outs we did incredibly well. Can't wait to smash their face in over the next several seasons.

 

[Celticman98]

Absolutely gutted. To make matters even worse both Dylans likely out for the year.

The positive was Manuleulua. Absolute beast and breakthrough performance from him.

 

[Newygirl]

Just once it would’ve been nice to win against those smarmy pricks

 

[Seano]

That's our season, I'd say. Lots of reps for these young blokes to finish; with Holbrook & co's coaching, it will stand us in good stead for 27.

 

[Sheent14]

I genuinely can't bare to see much more of Cant. Offers nothing. Smith's defence is gonna be fun to watch weekly now.

 

[Tim]

Ahhhhh. That's so hard to take.

 

[Battler]

That was a tough watch.

 

[jamesgould]

Fantastic performance under adversity. Were right in the wrestle with a top team with pretty much everything going against us.

Again, left ruing a few crucial moments that went wrong, Best's dropped ball, the missed kicks at goal ...

Hopefully we reach the stage soon where those moments go our way. It's funny, it quite often seems to come from our more experienced players. The young crop we have coming through just have the exuberance that doesn't know they're meant to lose or make those mistakes.

Really think we have such a bright future.

 

[JOJO82]

Looks like goal kicks cost us again

 

[jamesgould]

Absolutely gutted. To make matters even worse both Dylans likely out for the year.

The positive was Manuleulua. Absolute beast and breakthrough performance from him.

They did say in commentary the Knights staff were hopeful it wasn't an ACL for Brown.

 

[Seano]

Tbf to Bradman the excess grippo cost us a try, but he also pulled off two try savers, so....maybe the grippo goes both ways.

 

[JOJO82]

Allowing the roosters to offload towards the end helped them get into field goal position...the one thing we did well all night just fell apart in a 5 min period.

 

[Die Hard]

Hopefully Brown comes back by seasons end and Lucas comes back for the finals or sooner. We will be desperate to make the finals now.

 

[KriKri]

I’m absolutely deflated. It just doesn’t feel fair. We were the better team tonight and yet again we’ve lost.
Feel horrible for Lucas and Brown. Hopefully their recovery goes as well as it can and they’re back in the red and blue sooner than we know it.

 

[jamesgould]

Hopefully Brown comes back by seasons end and Lucas comes back for the finals or sooner. We will be desperate to make the finals now.

Maybe next year's finals for Lucas.

 

[Celticman98]

Missed that, I'm too used to expecting the worst outcome for this club.

 

[knights80]

They did say in commentary the Knights staff were hopeful it wasn't an ACL for Brown.

Even if it isn’t ACL, if it’s MCL or PCL would think he out till at least finals at this stage to test and get it right

Can not fault the effort of the boys, with almost the NSW cup forward pack/bench from start of the year we have like others said lost last 3 games by total 5 points

Heartbreaking that we could be first with those now we will be treading the bottom 8 with hard trips away to come

But compared to last year it’s just so good to see the team firing especially against big teams, even though we could have had 2 stints against 12 men for some of the high shots put on tonight

 

[CornChippy]

Cracking match of footy. We didn't win but our team stepped up against massive odds.

Francis looks fantastic. ESL and Hunt played well.
Ponga and McKewen will be back next week.

Smith and Sharpe in the halves.

Brown might still be back for finals.

Were not done yet.

 

[Jackson]

I really feel that's our season done. Can't knock their effort but we've just picked up too many injuries at the wrong time.
