Round 11 - Knights vs Tigers @ Campbelltown Stadium

The only time we looked half decent yesterday was when we offloaded and didn't play structured footy. Why don't we do that every week since our structured play is so easy to read and nearly always one out plays.

I would rather us make more mistakes if we are actually throwing questions to the opposition defence rather than completing sets and being so boring and easy to defend.

I feel like "unstructured footy" has been the way we've played best over the last 8 years or so.
 
Have just through this thread and had a laugh. Nickwpearce is a fair dinkum child, definitely provided the lols.

I was pretty happy with the performance yesterday. It was a much better effort all around. The forwards were ten times better than they were against Cronulla. Hodkinson had his best game for us so far, Levi continues to impress and Sione looked very dangerous. they broke our line too easily at times but the scramble and on-line defence were pretty good.

As mentioned above the second phase play is the way to go. Send the team out there and let them throw the ball around and see what what happens. There is no point doing exactly what the other teams are doing but less effectively, try something different and see how it goes.

I'm with you there. Knights play better ad-lib footy then they do any other style. I say stick to it. Reminds me of the ippy jets style. Although critics have said it wouldn't work at nrl level seems as though we have had some success with it.
 
Talking of structure, every game I watch every team spread the ball left really well and they always do it against us where uate is left guessing 9 times out of 10. I can't remember a time we have scored or come close using that technique?
 
Players' Player: Round 11

Mon 23rd May, 01:01PM

Daniel Saifiti was named Players' Player in Round 11 for the first time.

The young prop was a game changer for the Knights, coming off the bench to change the momentum of the match with his powerful running.

In 47 minutes he notched up numbers that an Origin forward would be proud of, with 19 runs for 237 metres and five tackle busts.

After only seven NRL games it looked like a coming of age performance for the Fiji representative.

STATS:

. 47 minutes
. 19 runs
. 237 metres
. 5 tackle busts
. 18 tackles
. 2 offloads
