Roberts must be a witch of some sort and has cast a spell over knights fans, he did SFA for four years and there are still people who want him back.

My only criticism of lamb would be his kicking game when he had time was poor last night.

Bagging him for his goal line defence is like having a go at starling for his lack of line breaks.

Every single player that plays NRL needs to be able to stop bigger blokes from rolling over them on the goal line, how this resembles a front rower being criticized for a lack of line breaks I do not know. Terrible example haha
 
A few weeks in the 20s (is he still eligible?) or nsw cup would do Brock a world of good.
By no means was my criticism of him meaning I do not rate him or do not have hope for him going forward. I am merely judging him on being a full time first grader and taking out the fact he is 20 years of age.

You're kidding if you think even 50% of the halves in the NRL are stopping Feldt from 5m out with no help.

No but teams every single week run big bodies at halves to tire them out. On the goal line a sides key play is usually to try and isolate their wide running back rower in the path of the opposition half. Generally the half does the job, I'd say a back rower scores from this play 1/10 times which is a good result. Unfortunately for us when Brock is isolated it becomes more like 5 or 7 out of 10
 
Again I'm only judging him from being a NRL player not judging a 20 year old kid whose been thrown in the deep end. Surely there is a better option then to let this young talent whose the future of our club get pummeled every week?
Let him go back to 20s where he can be the bully for a couple of weeks and get his confidence built up
 
Watched the replay this morning.
Not much else to say given what's already been discussed. We are not going to win games when we keep gifting the opposition majority possession in the first 40. Went into the break two points up but totally gassed.

1 positive. I genuinely think stone will be a star. 80 mins and one missed tackle. Never gives up, safe hands, decent vision. Just wish he didn't have to play 80 at this stage of his career.
 
I love stone but at the moment his tackles are a little soft which is to be expected at 19
Hopefully he can learn to hit harder
 
Not going to win squat when your middle forward rotation is coming up with 50m and 60ms for the most part. Lolo does that on two runs.

Again, how bad is Morgan with no JT? I always rated the bloke but jt is joey-like is making trash look like Superstars.
 
Credit where credits due... I thought Feeney actually injected some energy into us when he came on last night. Having been totally anti him I saw for the first time that he may have some potential...

He also made 3 try saving Tackles would have liked to see him play more minutes
