Round 7: Newcastle Knights vs Parramatta Eels

[Beaumont]

I hope Brown stays in the box at half time.

 

[ImissVuna]

Yes nervous for this second half. Just hope the intensity remains the same and Pearce continues to control the game down their end

First game Levi has had a go this year.

Don't get too carried away the green shirts are doing their best for the Eels. Giving them that last dumb feed was a terrible decision they had fully played their advantage and Kurriboy you gotta learn the basics. Levi is not taking three steps before passing and our forwards are making the most of it getti ng up a heasd of steam before the ball arrives.

 

[Beaumont]

Couple of ordinary misses by Ramien in defence.

Levi is the one getting us forward into the ad line. The forwards need to get onto the back of it rather then watching him take off. This second half will be massive.

Great half. where has that been all year.
Stihl need to defend a bit better.
Levi great.
Pearce on fire.
7 & 9 so important.
Sione might have found his position, bench lock.

I hope Sione does, really think it is the best spot for him when we're winning the middle.

Ramien looking pretty gassed. Gone to him a fair bit in attack. Try a few of these left side raids second half might help.

Couple of ordinary misses by Ramien in defence.

Yep, although in fairness, SKD had some poor misses which wouldn’t help Ramien.

 

[Billy]

Ponga has gone back to standing right behind levi waiting to back up any breaks rather than standing out on the left like a 5/8. It works well when levi is on his game.

First time Levi has just played his natural game. You should always allow a natural game through the spine member. Makes for better cohesion. Everyone plays to the spine strengths.

 

[Battler]

Really happy with how the boys started this game, although I'm very nervous for this second half.

 

[krustykraz]

Pearce doing all the play making works.
Ponga to run first and pass if there's an option.
Watson should just run.

 

[slotmachine]

Probably why sione not been playing lock

 

[danknights]

Refs letting them back in the game. Bit of a joke really. We have been the much better side

 

[danknights]

What was Barnett doing ?

 

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

Lets hope we don't crap the bed!

 

[ImissVuna]

We defend so well set after set but it's that last bit of attention to detail that hurts us. Overall I've been really happy with the second half

 

[JOJO82]

Penalty after penalty for things that aren't penalties....obviously we shouldn't be allowed to win so refs take matters into their own hands.

 

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

Would love to see us win a grind more than cop an easy team on an off week.

Refs letting them back in the game. Bit of a joke really. We have been the much better side

Exactly we started the 2nd half just as dominant but the ref has put the whistle away when we have the ball
