Round 26: Newcastle Knights vs Cronulla Sharks

[Nickwpearce]

Not good from Barnett and buhrer

Jamie has been average since he came back cant see him play much footy next year tbh

 

[listo]

Oh my

Knights need to stop building games up. Seems every time we play a game that deserves 110% heart & effort, we misread the invite & only bring 10%

 

[slotmachine]

Flat as a tack

-10%

 

[Quinny]

What happened to the forward pass rule this season every game is full of them from every side it's just ridiculous.

 

[slotmachine]

Second phase then a nice pass from Amey gets Fitz over

 

[listo]

-10%

Come on mate, last game of the year in a season of improvement & good signs, we don't need to hang ourselves today do we?
We're an already under strength team playing under strength against a quality team, no need to be too harsh.
As it is, I should've **** my mouth, the boys have just woke up

 

[slotmachine]

So Fitz gone from a bloke who I thought wouldn't be first grade quality to our best edge forward. Lol

Give him the cheque book & tell him to write his own price!... just make sure the pen hasn't got enough ink left for him to be silly

 

[Quinny]

We were very poor in that half but to give the sharks 60% of the ball and only be down by 6 at halftime is not a bad result, hopefully they can compete for the next 40 minutes and push the sharks.

We stuck to our guns and fought back well. Now Fitzy Senior has left the Knights Board, I reckon young Fitzy will be sitting at the desk signing up this week. If he isn't, Browny and Mooney are negligent.

I'm with you Slots this year has been a tremendous improvement overt the last two and with the imports arriving in November, 2018 will be a supercalifrigicexpialadacious year!

Agree. Thought he would struggle to get a run with Windale A grade before this season. I like his mongrel attitude.

 

[slotmachine]

Considering you're probably looking at 10-12 upgrades on todays side for round 1 next year we should go OK

 

[Nickwpearce]

Hold the ball, get some penalties and score a couple tries much more respectible, I expect the sharks to be very physical forst 10 mins 2nd half...

Just make a contest of it boys its all we want...

Hard considering a lot of them wont be her enext year

 

[Aidos]

So Fitz gone from a bloke who I thought wouldn't be first grade quality to our best edge forward. Lol

His try scoring rate is ridiculous at the moment for a backrower. Both tries today just pushing up on the ball like a forward should and his ability to hit and spin from tackles really fools the defence and makes him very dangerous near the try line. Loving his development

 

[Quinny]

I agree we will improve next year a fair bit, as longas people keep their expectations in check next year promises to be a good year.

Is it just me or is ross pretty bad at full back?

 

[Nickwpearce]

Thats game over... Fitzy looked to be in some pain

 

[slotmachine]

Is it just me or is ross pretty bad at full back?

He was fourth choice

 

[Nickwpearce]

No communication in attack out wide today... players out of position i guess... but last tackle options have been poor.

Also after a line break or half break and a quick play the ball no one gets into position.

Hopefully watson, ponga can fix that during the 2018 season, some organisation will go a long way in our attack next year
