Game Day: Knights v Manly [Round 12, 2021]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well this will be an interesting half time talk from Des!!

 

[mave]

We havent turned up today.

Unsurprising after last week's emotion.

Going to have to get a lot better in the 2nd half.

Cummins won't give us anything either.

 

[nightster]

well be right!

half time came at a good time for us.

Des to get us back on track.

2 mins earlier would have been better

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

We got this.

Looks like it me.......wondering what game others are watching.....

 

[SeaEagle21]

So does Cummins.

That or he should watch out for cement trucks on his way home.

We haven't helped ourselves but he is looking for anything to go against us

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

I think I might stop following Manly and start following the referees. They're dominating the comp this year and can only see them getting stronger in coming years.

 

[manlyfan76]

A 6-0 penalty count tells its own story.

Cummins is refereeing one team.

And 2-0 six agains.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Harper doing a good defensive job on Best, containing him so far.

 

[Cameron]

Also, Andrew Voss is unbearable !

Ray Hadley is right voss is a flog

 

[NYEagle]

Sick of Funa such a messy player and terrible for team harmony.

I guess the only good thing is after those indiscretions he won’t be available for the next game.

Keepie needs to curb his emotion and aim lower. He has tuned the game around against a **** team.

lucky we have the wind and 13 back for most of the second half. Time to calm down and get back to the program and we win.

[Mark from Brisbane]

I missed the first 20 minutes of the game but you have to say after last weeks game we are looking pretty flat.

That , combined with the penalties , send off sees us where we are at.

 

[Peter C]

This is just a set up to keep the Newcastle crowd happy !!

Yes, as always in the past, Rugby League needs Newcastle more than Newcastle needs rugby league

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

We’d defended set after set and Crossland puts up a nothing bomb - absolutely zero need to push that tackle from Keppie. Such a stupid play.

though up until then he was one of our best

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Cummins is determined to only referee one side. Gave them plenty of leg-ups. After that, we were our own worst enemies.

 

[davohan123]

So no six again's or penalities to us , 2 tackles in the knights 20 and they have had all the ball. Plus we lose a player for 10 minutes

Yes we have been poor compared to last week but we have been given nothing by Cummins.

I still say we can crack them any decent ball in their 20m zone.

 

[jbb/james]

@jbb/james see who set that try up. but i guess that’s origin preservation you gronk

I saw it. It was a good move. If only he was judged on 10 seconds a half. With a huge breeze against us you can almost understand the poor kicking but he should use his super boot to kick us home in the second half.

You give it out cambo but you dont take it well . Just because i have a different view you dont have to act like a pork chop.

 

[Waz13]

8 nil penalty count plus 3 to nil six agains

that Cummins is a ****

Absolute joke. So one sided. In saying that Keppie needs a flogging. Late shots on kickers are f$&@en inexcusable imo. Tge good thing is we have the wind now and we have to start getting some ref calls soon. Keppie will be suspended for Tgat headshot too.

 

[The better Robbo]

If you slow down Keppies tackle he didn't even hit him high, it was the whip lash that made his head hit Keppie. Shouldn't face any charge for that!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So for Newcastle it’s,

6 penalties
2 set restarts

And for Manly

0
0

Gee have we been THAT bad ??

 

[cava2323]

Takes a special kinda fwit to hit a kicker late these days, albeit a fraction. Such a moron play. Got what we deserved. Nice one Keepie!
