Post-Game Discussion Knights v Manly [Round 12, 2021]

[HoldenV8]

With a decent 5/8 option we’d have won. With Schuster we’d have won by plenty. With Foran we’d have won by plenty. No big deal…. The troops will be back after the bye & we’ll be back to our winning ways.

Funa was a liability today. He more just got in the way in attack and was a bit brain dead at times in both attack and defense.

To be fair he's not a 5/8, not in a million different universes ... but he still had a shocker.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I thought I was watching a replay of the 1969 GF.

Klemmer - what a ****.

 

[wombatgc]

We tested their line quite a few times but the Knights held pretty firm. Not saying we would have won but it would have been interesting to see what impact Schuster might have made testing their defence.

Fkn enormous would be my take on it.

 

[madmax]

This loss is on des and the **** selections

Funa was the odd one. Lawton should have gone to hooker, Croker to 5/8, Saddler to back row or Tom to 5/8, Tuipulotu wing, Garrick FB…..

 

[Jerry1]

Des just picks stupid sheite selections sometimes. We all knew this one was not a winner. What the **** was he thinking. Fkn idiotic.

 

[Ryan]

Anyone remember that huge forward pass they all missed ? Everyone acted like it was nothing. Guarantee if Bellamy was on the receiving end of that call, the commentators, Fox and 9 would be all over it.

Voss goes, it was a mile forward, but we move on !

Disgusting.

Pre-game I was hoping he would pull off a miracle at 5/8 . I think he’ll be returned to Blacktown pretty swiftly now. Feel bad for him, but he has had a cpl chances now.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

That was a really bad game from us. Yes the refereeing was atrocious, and gave us no real chance of winning that game. Funa was defintely the wrong choice at five eight. We played extremely dumb football. Our attack was clunky and our defence was pretty woeful as well. We had a lot of players out. Keppie had his worst game all year. Tom made no impact. DCE was off his game again etc etc etc These are all reasonably valid excuses (some more than others) for what we saw tonight. BUT how important is Schuster to us right now? Thoughts.

Basically must have both Turbo & Schu to really be a threat...

 

[Rafferty]

I love DCE as a player but the only 2 opportunities we had in there 20 that half he butchered both of them.

We never got any momentum at all today.

Watch this match will cost us probably a home final later in the season


Oh by the way Cummins that was worse today than 2013 GF. Seriously the guy hates us.

Pretty sure we fuking hate him too

Foz or Cust & we would have won it..

 

[Mitch]

Thoughts with Zac Saddler, apparently in hospital with a depressed skull fracture. In a stable condition, fingers crossed for a swift recovery.

 

[Sheikheagle]

We need to employ an Acting Coach. We are not milking the penalties like other teams.

That was clearly evident today. The knights players should have been walking down the red carpet at the Oscars.

That’s terrible news for the lad, hope everything will be ok

 

[kurrieagle]

We weren't on fire but you can't win when you have 20 minutes of the game a man down and a 9-0 penalty count.
Even with that stacked against us if Schuster or Foran play we win that game comfortably.
The calls from the bunker when they go back a set is outrago

[Cliffymagic]

As bad as the ref was,
We just made it too hard with our own mistakes.
Anyways. Season is still looking promising.

His year might be dusted , which is sad

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We were **** , really ****.

But Ben ****ing Cummins didn’t help !!

 

[mickqld]

Whenever we got any monentum the knights pulled a trainer stopage. It was total bulls*&t and that weak c*&t Cummstain gave into them at every chance. It was an orchestrated stitch up of epic proportions.

And any Manly forward pass, Voss the goose was still going on about it 5 minutes later like we'd pulled off the Great Train Robbery.
