Round 9: Newcastle Knights vs Canterbury Bulldogs

[rhugh89]

It will be interesting to see how the second half goes, Hopefully we don't fall asleep and go on with it

 

[Kurriboy]

The saying is these are the games you are expected to win, so against the quality opponents you can win some/lose some, but keep chugging up the table by taking these games your expected to win.

 

[R_A]

Agree but nowhere near as brutal as being on 2 competition points and potentially staying on that until the middle of the season.

Team is too talented not to turn it around, just needs a bit of an attitude adjustment and a bit of a simpletons game plan, back to basics and let the players play to their strengths, seems to be working so far.

 

[Rob]

Misstackles only 4 according to stats...Not bad

 

[Levil Kinevil]

Herman needs to quit the sideways runs. I get he's agile and light on his feet but you can do that going forward and when he does hes great.

 

[88Knight4life]

The way I saw those games we were lucky our opponents were not on their attacking games or we would have been thumped a couple of times.

A few teams in the latte stretch got over our line 3-4 times a game and bombed the tries themselves.

Can say the same about us though.

Our attack was hideous and the ball control was just as bad.
That gave the opportunity to the other teams to win.
Anyways we wont let our differences.
So how bout we both move on?
Let the positive game we're seeing at the moment be a talking point.

 

[Levil Kinevil]

Exactly like that Herman

 

[slotmachine]

Herman is having a huge game

 

[Hughburt6]

That’s 3 times Levi has tried that

 

[Kurriboy]

Levi shouldn't have gone for the barge over. Brown should tell him you get one shot at it per game, if you score, you can have one more go.

 

[slotmachine]

That pass was a mile forward from Pearce. Refs hate us, if they had of called it dogs don't score

 

[Rob]

Good to see Ese listened to the halftime speech re running direct...thought he was Ponga towards end if first half

 

[Beaumont]

Levi shouldn't have gone for the barge over. Brown should tell him you get one shot at it per game, if you score, you can have one more go.

How can you tell a dummy half how many times they're allowed to o for the try line ? They play what they see. Last tackle turn over 1/2 m from try line not too bad a result.

 

[AlbertWillScore97]

Perfectly timed intercept, they miss and its 20-0 , frustrating though, its probably the only thing that was going to get them back in the game

 

[nunnsy]

I saw Watson strip their winger and it get called as a loose carry. Ref hates us.

They never call it a strip when its due to the intial contact e

Levi shouldn't have gone for the barge over. Brown should tell him you get one shot at it per game, if you score, you can have one more go.

That last one was ok for mine he nearly got there and the doggies had to work it off there own line. The first two it wasnt really on.

 

[slotmachine]

Test here, interesting to see how they respond

 

[Levil Kinevil]

How can you tell a dummy half how many times they're allowed to o for the try line ? They play what they see. Last tackle turn over 1/2 m from try line not too bad a result.

I agree. Especially with the way we've been defending. Startiing them on 2m line is alot better than a grubber and 7 tackle set.

 

[slotmachine]

Hmmmm. Are we going to pay for not piling on points when the dogs were dropping the ball every set?

 

[88Knight4life]

So Barnett is offside yet is also obstructed to make the tackle to prevent a try?
Then the reply shows him jumping out as the ball hits the foot?
What a joke call.

 

[slotmachine]

He was miles offside mate
