NRL Round 27 - Knights Vs Dolphins - 4:05pm Sunday 8th September - McDonald Jones Stadium

[Sheent14]

There was a whole lot of carry on from many about how the whole team hates each other..... they are clearly playing for each other.

 

[SportsFan]

Great to have different try scorers & others stepping up when the team couldn’t go wide. Their edges defended well & made us force errors, very positive that we adapted rather than try the same thing over and over.

 

[Thieves Like Us]

How about leave the top row of falseys in and get the best of both worlds

Sounds like you have experience in this matter…..

 

[Sheent14]

We’ve literally Bradbury’d into the finals…

Please explain.... since our final bye we have been more than competitive. Blew a win against Penrith (A), and Sharks (A), then have had more than convincing wins against Tigers, Souths, Titans and now Phins.

 

[Battler]

Perfect round in the tipping comp... shame it's when I'm coming 48th.

If Drgaons didn't blow their last two games which they should have won, we would have never made it.

 

[Hard Yards]

If we can defend like we did today I reckon we can take the Cows in the heat in Townesville

 

[what's that pong]

Feel like we should have won by more, making metres at will for large sections of the game and some quiet fast play the balls.

Also I'm not seeing the AOB press conference on the nrl app, where else can I find it ?

Dragons suck i tipped them to lose to Eels and Raiders

I watched it there. A replay will be available soon.

 

[MBQLD]

AOB now has an 80% finals ratio I believe.

So he’s the greatest coach ever

People totally forget those days, hey. I think this season is probably the best achievement in making it. Circumstances really haven’t gone our way, between Ponga’s injury (only just now returning to 100%), our halves options all sucking, and players being told to move on.

Plus I believe there were some pranks!

Questions..

I wonder too if it coincides with Hastings on the proper outer? For a large part of the year the Knights have tried to make most combos around Hastings and it just never clicked but since his banishment the results have changed?

I think it’s interesting that Phoenix has been working hard and gets a lot of respect but is a decent guy so placed at 7, then that takes a bit of expectation and pressure off Cogger to do his thing at 6?

Brailey had some good runs but his choices on the line often drive me insane (dummy half barge over that he never ever pulls off but tries 3 times a game) so I think I prefer Pheonix at 9 if Gamble comes back in the halves, Or don’t change a winning combo? Brailey and Cogger have been doing a decent enough job but I fear they will get exposed against the top teams?

 

[slotmachine]

but I fear they will get exposed against the top teams?

Yeah they beat 17th, 16th, 14th and 10th on the run home, they need to either find another level or try something different to be any chance

x2

 

[Oliver]

Happy for Cogger. He was there in the spoon years. He deservedly copped so much flak this season but credit to him, his kicking game today was very good.

And I think we can beat the cows also. But I can’t see us beating the likes of Melbourne or Penrith whom I think make the GF. I would have had the Roosters but losing key players last week I can’t see them there.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

No one can complain about the referees today.

Fins probably can

 

[Tim]

Credit where credits due, I thought Coggers kicking was pretty decent today too. Defensively rubbish but I felt like most of the kicking today was spot on.

I think defensively “rubbish” is harsh. I saw him make some good tackles.

Yep , he did last week too!

 

[frankLauda]

Cogger 20 tackles 4 missed. Not a bad effort for a 5/8.
