GAME DAY - Reggies

[Mitch]

Poor Knights player must have ripped his leg off, we've had a 15 minute stoppage

Horrible! Looked like a severe lower leg fracture.

Lane is on the bench and will be wearing no.15 Jersey.

I have a feeling that Lane will come good eventually. He just needs to work on his ball security, defence and his intensity.

Hopefully he begins with a good performance from the bench today.

So much potential, but i think it's just an attitude thing with him at the moment.

Could be more of a confidence player i suspect, so hopefully he turns his season around starting from today.

Looking forward to watching Hastings steer the team around and showing us why he should be in the top squad.

The opposition will be playing with 15.

Jamil has been impressive today. Lots of quality tackling and good footwork in attack. Good ball player too.

M.Wright and Cullen have been good too.

 

[Woodsie]

If you are ever looking for a reason why Lanky Lane is not in 1st's this game is a perfect example ...... done to 12 men and the middle and halfs are fatiqued ..... and that useless dopey lamonche has not once come in to take a hit up!!

Another very strong performance from the reserves, impressive! Good to watch..

 

[HappilyManly]

Lame is not good

Good win against a very bad Knights side.

Gee Pauli Pauli has dropped down to a bench player for reserves

 

[Blucky]

Al this talk about needing to buy another second rower. We don't, he's right here in reggies. Jamil Hoppa is a monster. Played 80 mins and still carried 4 players almost over the line for a try with 3 minutes to go !

I totally missed what happened with cassel but drugcastles hands in the ruck all game was a joke.

Cassel just abused the Ref and as he was binned he had another quip - so the Ref sent him off.

Players make mistakes too, not just the Refs
Cassell is the one who dropped the ball from HT restart

Hi all, first post, travelled to Brooky from Blacktown to see my local team play today. A couple of things I took from the game, Cullen MUST replace Blake Green, he was the main difference between them and the Knights today, kicking game was spot on, he hit hard in defence (though there was a couple of jumper grabs) he throws a great dummy and his organisational play was spot on. I know it's not first grade but he is genuine quality.

Shaun Lane could be anything if he wasn't so lazy, he has great speed and foot work but he just gets lazy and makes mistakes. He could seriously be the hole runner we have missed since Beaver retired if he pulls his finger out.

I had no idea who the number 12 was, he was making meters and involved in everything, I then realised it was young Hoppa, he was very solid, lacks a bit of size but can see him at NRL level soon enough.

Matty and Johnno Wright are just too slow, end of story. Both are legitimate backups and nothing more.

Was a good win, though to be fair it looks like the Knights lack of depth goes way down the grades. Pity to see the Knights guy stretchered off, he didn't look well.
