Round 15: Newcastle Knights vs North QLD Cowboys

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

We’ve been bad but by god this rabble Cowgirls outfit are dead set spoon contenders.

 

[JOJO82]

I’ll believe that if ever I see you blame the knights and not the refs from a loss.

Unfortunately you won't be seeing that tonight.

Unfortunately you won't be seeing that tonight.

Had to wait for that insurance before getting the courage to say that?

 

[Hughburt6]

Ponga to Tuala
Bet that hurt

 

[packo]

We are getting a bit of a scrappers identity.

 

[knights22]

We have 1 decent team in the next 5 games. With a guaranteed finals, I think we really needed more then just the Roosters leading into it. I have no idea where we're at. We do enough to get wins against terrible teams, but we've had such an easy second half to the season.

I was actually typing it and they scored

 

[rhugh89]

Take the win and move on, Less said about that performance the better

 

[R_A]

O BRIEN must have hammered the guys for the defence last week and last time against the cowboys based off today’s effort

 

[cowboyman]

Stop the game with that goal attempt by Ponga. Sums up this game as a whole.

 

[cowboyman]

I was actually typing it and they scored

So you still had to wait for the insurance with 2 minutes left

 

[packo]

I’m happy to be a nuisance scrappy team that no one wants to play. As long as we get the W

 

[Hughburt6]

Crossland was outstanding in defence

 

[knightime]

Geez, scrappy performance but satisfying outcome. Keeping those muppets to nil is perhaps the most satisfying game this year for mine.

 

[packo]

That line speed and defence is very impressive. We just look fit. Crossland 5/8 Hoy to bench

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Some people will say otherwise, but good teams win against pathetic teams and we did that and have cemented a finals spot in 2020.

Regardless of what happens now this season is a success.

 

[JOJO82]

So you still had to wait for the insurance with 2 minutes left

Correct....didn't want to go off too early

 

[Grandpa Joe]

So you still had to wait for the insurance with 2 minutes left

Not sure mate but we'll be laughing at a shut out even if our team was crap in attack. Good luck with Lolo gone for the year.

 

[Billy]

Crossland 38 tackles at 95% efficiency.
The same kid who was a liability in defence in reserve grade last year.
He was out on his feet towards the end and did nothing for the last 10 minutes, but it was an incredible effort.

 

[KnightsUnite]

Mann isn't a 5/8 coach sacked him after he threw too many dummies again

Randall needs to be on the 9, Crossland the 6 and Mann the 14.

Ponga isn't a goal kicker, maybe Barnett needs to take over

Green gone for season is HORRIBLE for us!

Pearce kicking game (short) needs a lot of work, should go for more 40/20s not sure why he doesn't.

Ponga needs to follow his forwards more for offloads

When an offload comes we NEED to throw the ball wide...

Besides that no answers... We will be making up the numbers...
