NRL Round 9 - Knights Vs Rabbitohs - 2:00pm Sunday, 3rd of May - McDonald Jones Stadium

[Kurriboy]

It was "reduce your force" a day before star wars day. Happy May the 4th.

Ah thats right, reduce your force, said to a professional RL players defending his line lol.

Yet how often we see players absolutely smashed and it's on the highlight reels and promos.

Ludicrous.

Dally M votes: Kalyn Ponga 6, Latrell Mitchell 4, Trey Mooney 2.

Havnt watched the reply yet. but apparently the "reduce your force" comment was to the defender who hit humphreys as he passed.

Than that makes even less sense, you’re not meant to hit the guy at all once he passes, no matter the force in the tackle, so by reducing force you can take a guy out of the ball?

That ref was a joke

Brown unlucky. Also saw Cleary got 5 points despite being largely mediocre last night. They’re gonna get him his precious medal this year no matter what.

Yeah i got no idea either, it could be wrong but thats what i heard on radio this morning.

 

[MattyM]

So that game actually happened and I wasn’t tripping balls on acid or something?

Cleary or Ponga!? lol. Yeah off the mark, these votes. Lattell was the best player in the field yesterday. Sure Ponga had a good game, but I think Brown played better. Trey deserves points.

Good to see Cody Walker is still the biggest flog in the game, pushing Phoenix and then refusing to shake his hand
At end of the game you still need to show sportsmanship

That made victory so much sweeter, we dropped 3 in a row, won our first game back at full strength and dominated the first half and hung on in the second half which we were bad in.

All up happy days.

Poor dragons next week we could put 60 on them. In the first half.

 

[Seano]

AOB teams struggled to beat teams in the top 4 and the bottom 4, so hopefully, we take a step beyond that era next week.

Yeah I don’t know how anyone but Latrell gets the most points in that game regardless of whether Souths lost or not

 

[Die Hard]

We ticked the first box beating a top 4 side. I think we will savage the Dragons to be honest, our for and against will shoot to the moon.

 

[Sarge]

Looks like Brown charged but will only cop a fine

 

[slotmachine]

We've done very well with avoiding suspension, I think Mooney getting a week is it all season?

 

[Mclovin]

What i did enjoy seeing was Sharpe and Brown were swapping sides in attack, the ball may not have shifted to them, but they were looking at mixing things up which is very encouraging.

 

[mozza]

What about Ponga’s ‘reduced force’ incident. Surely he’s facing a life ban for tackling too hard?

 

[Mclovin]

What's funny is the reff told Walker to reduce force as well when he hit Ponga off the ball in the first half, the reff probably thinks there isn't enough padding around the posts as well

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Barely anything is a suspension now, the Mooney thing would have been 2-3 weeks a couple years ago. Radley on report three times and only a fine lol.

 

[Tobe Fair]

That was a great game. Ponga proved how much he is needed. Brown showed how good his defence is. Gagai is feeling his 35 years. Sharpe showed off his passing abilities. Mooney is growing in stature every carry. As a Knights fan I was glued to my seat. How good a player is Latrell Mitchell shame the Knights missed him.

 

[frankLauda]

I’m glad Trell is playing for NSW. I think he will carve up those Toads.
