Round 1: Newcastle Knights vs Cronulla Sharks

[slotmachine]

Guerra playing prop is something.

We've done a great job with field position (and denying it to sharks) but it's starting to turn.

 

[OnTilt]

Lee been so good in defence, refs been ordinary.

 

[slotmachine]

Haha, always the refs!

 

[packo]

Refs have been great. This is how footy should be played. So who likes their new team?

 

[Grandpa Joe]

WOW. Simple as that let's hope we can use the breeze.

 

[slotmachine]

Don't know how anyone could knock Barnett, he's been great.

Klem with a lazy 130m in first stint

 

[Ljackson]

Great half of footy against a top 4 team. Just need a bit of luck

Yeah I haven’t minded the refs letting it flow. Other then Gallen getting away with his usual grubbiness

 

[packo]

If this is our benchmark we will win lots of games. I wish Ponga would get the ball a bit deeper.

Hopefully Barnett belts him.

I've seen enough already, we're going to be something to fear this year and beyond.
If the sharks didnt have such a huge wind behind them we would have had tents pitched inside their 40m zone.
Im stocked that Lee has showed how good he is in D, many didnt rate that signing but his a great player.

 

[OnTilt]

Not sure if we need luck, that first half would have taken a lot out of them and we have the breeze next half.

 

[R_A]

794 to 604 metres gained

People will be shocked to find we are the ones with 794 lol

If this is our benchmark we will win lots of games. I wish Ponga would get the ball a bit deeper.

Maybe if he was playing fullback...

 

[88Knight4life]

I didnt understamd the Watson being called back to play the ball on the mark??? Is he meant to play it on Gallens chest? Which would of been been called up and most likely and penalty to the sharks lol.
Could be up 10 zip if a bit of luck come our way.

On the other hand Dugan has blown a few tries too.

This is a game we should win from here. Early points and put them away

 

[packo]

All the new recruits have been great. Glasby showing his class. Gavet and Klem is exactly what the Dr ordered.

 

[Kurriboy]

Outstanding first half. If we play that way each week we will be in the 8.

Very tough defense. Forwards rolling up field nicely.

We just played the best 40 minutes in 3yrs, no points as yet. Hopefully that breeze is a major factor for us.
I know we wont be camped in our half though.

Id put Dugans stuff ups down to a very good read by Lee 3 times.

Gavet has been the pleasant surprise for mine, totally awesome not being outmuscled in the middle with him and Klemmer there
