Round 6: Newcastle Knights vs Brisbane Broncos

[mozza]

Shibasaki in for Tuala. Bit harsh on Tuala but so was dropping Shiba after his first 2 games.

A smart change that I expected would happen if I'm honest.

Shibasaki would be hungry to show up his old team mates, and we will do well by having a powerful running at Boyd and the inexperienced Coates.

I agree it's a bit harsh on Tuala but he has only really been solid and not exactly a strike weapon.

I don't mind rotating them, long season and they are both good.

 

[knightime]

Tough on Tuala but a great opportunity for Macca, Shibs (and Herman) to show their old club what could have been. They can have Moga back though haha. Tuala won't be out for long. Gives you an idea how good our centre depth is this year.

First mistake by AOB. Tuala is so much better. Hasn’t shined in attack as they have been attacking the other side of the field or Ponga doesn’t throw the obvious pass yet he still crossed the line 3 times this hear i believe.

At fulltime you can call it a mistake, not pre-game. 80 minutes of footy to be played before we know if it was a good or bad decision.

We all know you've got a soft spot for your ex-Cowboys so of course he's so much better. Just like Ponga is better in your eyes but every true Knights fan knows that Ponga is a 5/8 in the making and the Knights should have kept Nick Meaney ;)

I expected to see this sort of rotation of players this season.
Its great to have 3 quality centres for once.

I don't mind rotating them to be honest. Both are much and much for mine Shibs better in attack and Tuala safer in D.

A top 30 spot for TRD - WHY?
It seemed odd at the time, but now it just seems crazy.

Lol mick Ennis just said pearce hasn’t missed many games for us...

Ponga is so far off being a 5/8th it’s not funny. When he slows up a bit then move him there but you don’t want to do a Milford to him.

Tuala is just a better player in comparison to Shibasaki. No doubt about it.

Klemmer cleaned up by Pangai

 

[Grandpa Joe]

How the hell is that not a shoulder charge by TPJ?

not as obvious as the Lodge high tackle that led to our first error

 

[knightime]

Jesus Christ, I could feel that hit on Klem. TPJ begging for another suspension though.

 

[Battler]

That was a shoulder charge, can't believe the refs and everyone at Fox missed it.

Enjoy another 5 weeks on the sideline Tevita.

 

[knightime]

Be nice if we could hold on to the ball though.

 

[cowboyman]

Dropped first tackle after getting 6 more. Massive error.

 

[Wagyu Patty]

Sloppy game so far.

 

[R_A]

Bit of a sloppy game so far
