All Galvin seemed to do was take hit ups into the defensive line and get tackled.
Maybe he's a prop in the making 🤣.
He did make 230m.
Not really halves play.

I saw someone say if he was playing under 12s, he’d be given a ball and told to go play by himself lol

It’s good for halves to run but not every single time they get the ball. No idea why Gus was so adamant he’s a halfback. He’d be much better at 6 with an experienced halfback to help him out.
 
Here’s a random question.

Is the Knights team that beat Bulldogs 24-16 away better than the Broncos who beat Dolphins 26-12 at home?

Besides their capitulation to the Warriors, Knights have looked a serious threat each time and right across the park.
 
Would be an interesting game if we brought the level of performance from yesterday into a game vs the Broncos from Friday night.

If you put Payne Haas back into the Broncos lineup, fuhgeddaboutit, we wouldn’t be able to stop them if they’re anywhere near their best. Big improvement in the middle of the field is going to be the big swing factor over the next few years. We can clearly score points now.
 
I liked Graham the young guy. Would like to think he can become a regular 9 for knights
1 ponga
7 brown
9 graham
That be a lethal potent combos once fatigue in the oppistion sets in

Crossland is an absolute machine and is everything the Knights used to stand for, and should build towards, Ponga and Brown might be the shiny objects but to me Crossland is the actual face of the Knights.

So excited to see where this team goes

Unfortunately that face was a lot prettier this time yesterday...but yeah, he embodies those values the Knights were originally built on.
 
It's funny to stick it to the Dogs over Galvin. He really was the place where attacking moves go to die yesterday.

But long term, I think Gus, as much as I despise him, is a good judge of players and Galvin will get to where they need him to be....but the whole way Gus derailed the Dogs' season last year when they could have just been patient....that's priceless.

Most teams outside of Penrith don't get that long of a premiership window, and the Dogs burned a genuine opportunity last season.

Dogs couldn’t score points at the end of last year either. There’s just no way you can win a comp with their spine. They’re also severely lacking speed. It makes such a big difference just having a guy like Dom on the wing

Yeah I think Galvin will come good, you see glimpses of it. I heard they’re extended Tracey, I wonder if he’s a bit of a Sexton, solid but if someone better comes along…
And I’m not sure if Hayward is the answer at 9 or whether he provides much of a spark. Reminds me of our early plans for Crossland. Just tackle heaps and don’t do anything too stupid by overplaying your hand.
Other then that do people think Burton sticks into 6 or moves to lock with Crichton moving to 6 or…
I think there’s something there for him at 6
 
Crossland starts at 9 and goes to 13 after 30 minutes when Croker has his spell. Graham comes on at hooker and finishes the game there. Croker can come back on at prop for the last 15 minutes.

Croker player 53mins yesterday. I feel like him and eventually saf shored up the middle again when they came back on.

I can’t remember the last time I saw everyone running hard and more impressively hitting as hard as they were in the first half in particular. I know I never saw it under AOB

What was also very pleasing see was that the hard clearly identified an issue with the Dogs left hand side defence so they went after it again and again. Previously I generally had no idea what they were trying to achieve and they rarely persisted with attacking the same spots (2023 was probably the only exception)

Overall, it’s just very impressive to put 5 tries on what’s a very good defensive side and they did it without 2 of their best players

Keep doing what we doing & the "most improved" could be a big field😂
