(NYC) Round 5 Knights v Rabbitohs

It's been a big problem since the NYC started, huge numbers of points being scored and then players being promoted to first grade and struggling big time. Something needs to be done to improve defences across the board in the NYC
 
I just think the strength of the players in attack these days is just too hard to stop.

Like these blokes are making 15m each run with ease. It's a worry.

Half time anyway, I've lost track of the score.

Knights up by two.
 
another ringing endorsment for the defensive standards of the NYC. already looks worse then most NRL scorelines and its only halftime.
 
I tell you... whilst Neenan Simpson is great in attack and all. His decisions as a fullback is sometimes questionable. Lets Souths just put the ball down after a grubber.

Souths now have the lead.
 
Two of those tries disallowed could have easily gone our way.

And the Souths score instead. Refs are pretty shocking.
 
Refs have been terrible. Webster knocks on, Matautia scores and he calls it advantage taken and double movement?

In saying that the Knights should never have put themselves in this position.

Game over, Souths closing in on 50.
 
shocking game...terrible competition...almost unwatchable...I've seen better commitment to defence in a game of basketball...
 
Phil Gould got it spot on about the 20's competition on the Sunday Roast today. There are all these talented kids with plenty of ball skill but no idea how to defend running around. The NRL sees the NYC as a replacement for the old Reserve Grade competition but it does nothing to prepare young guys for first grade.

They need to get the NSW Cup back up to standard to be a genuine reserve grade comp, featuring a combination of young kids and fringe first graders and it will lift the quality of the comps across the board.
 
wtfff i turned this on before Knights game and they were dominating, man even the lower grades cant hold a lead.
