ROUND 15 DISCUSSION : NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS vs NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

All Pearce! Thank F he’s back

 

[cowboyman]

Last minute sin bin square up, love it!

Square up because the earlier sin bin shouldn’t of been a sin bin?

 

[jamesgould]

Gosh we needed that. All hail Tuala for getting us there, and I'm glad it was Jones who went over for the matchwinner too.

 

[JOJO82]

Thank God for Tuala winning this for us

More that refs just love to have everything all even at the end of the match lol

 

[Kurriboy]

Im in shock we don't take the 2 there. 10 - 6. If they miracle score and convert they win, so why not make it 6 points for the security, we get ball back hopefully and play it out.

Funny, it took an individual effort from a centre to beat them the first time

 

[Rear Admiral Butthead]

Pearce….The Tuala Whisperer.

 

[Lefty]

We played just a bit better than the Warriors at the end to win.

Good sides win ugly, we did not let them score when we had 12 men for 10 minutes. It is a sign that we are gradually improving.

 

[Billy]

Very happy with Young.
That missed tackle when he ran the guy down was a bad rookie error, but overall he was very strong and safe. The best news is that he has a lot of improvement in him still.

 

[danknights]

Boys need to watch some footage of old to learn how to attack. Geez we are terrible. Yeah it was wet but I've seen plenty of brilliant attacking footy from 80s 90s early 2000s teams in teaming wet slosh. I watched Fitz close after the hate early, he does all the little things nobody notices, maybe he needs to try running some different lines to get noticed more. This comes down to our **** poor boring attack.

 

[Battler]

You have to ask, what is going on with the Knights attack?

OB has had what, 3-4 weeks of concentrating on our attack and we look to offer nothing in attack at all. Virtually no change to our attacking structure, still one out runs, in their 10 to 20 we try endless barge overs, don't really ask anything of their defence.

I get kp is out but we cant be just give it to kp.

Pre game OB talked about how well Pearce and Clifford have combined in training, yet practically ignored eachother all game.

We remain a dire, boring football team that hasnt kept up with the game.

Note, we just scored. Amazing.

You do realise it's the first time Pearce and Cliff have played together..

I for one am happy with the result and, get KP back and some continuity, hopefully a red hot crack for the rest of the season.

 

[member 2299]

Really? Our defence makes my testes sore.

Careful Kurriboy.....that can affect your vision too!

He puts his body on the line so well in d

 

[mozza]

Ugly win but hard fought. Pearce was very solid on return and leading the defensive line well. Brailey’s cover tackle was brilliant.

Pretty sure Clifford destroyed Walsh’s Origin chances too. Far out he can kick a ball.

 

[Battler]

Absolutely, he's gone ahead of Musgrove, Hoy etc for a wing spot.

 

[Billy]

Pearce was holding his arm and pec several times in the game. Hopefully he just felt some scar tissue stretching out a bit.

 

[KnightsUnite]

Besides Mann no injures so we got the 2 points and AOB can't put Mann in the team.

Hoy will return to punish us though

I seen that and thought he done it again..

Probably just more mental scars
