Game Day: Knights v Manly [Round 14, 2020]

[Nordburg]

Dropped ball, penalties, more dropped ball, restarts.

No-one to blame but ourselves.

No,it can’t be the players fault,only the refs

 

[Highflier]

When was the last time we completed a set?

just after we rotated the front row and Suli dropped the ball on the 2nd

 

[Kez]

Our discipline is a ****ing disgrace. Suli just stood there like a ****ing log as well, no ****ing urgency.

They are poorly coached

 

[Disco]

Watch the last 4 weeks. Over and over and over he does it.

Yes he needs to improve his discipline.

But to say you are done with him and you want the club to get rid of him is childish

 

[bob dylan]

We have further declined this week.

After all the practice we have had we no longer know how to kick off.

One out on the full and a short one that was just plain embarrassing.

 

[grassy]

I don't know why I put myself through this s**t every week.

Hehe, welcome to Manly 2020.😉 This is what loyalty gets ya.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Just too many dropped balls and dumb penalties. Rubbish.

 

[mave]

The refs have been reasonable, thus far.

We are a dumb , dumb, dumb footy team.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Our bench is terrible. Our backs are terrible. This is not a top 8 side. It can't handle injuries.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Elliot gone for how long? But yeah let’s loan Hoppa to the warriors

joke of a club

 

[joeboy]

Croker is the worst player I’ve ever seen and we have several other players jostling at the podium for the minor places.

we have thrown away another match through simple ineptitude and lack of urgency.

there is simply no defending it

 

[simon64]

Newcastle aren't winning.........we're losing.

If we stop turning the ball over and playing like 3rd grade park footballers, we'll win.

The reshuffle after Elliot went off isn't helping either. You know you're in trouble when Jetski is in the centres.

 

[qldeagle]

It's all good, I've heard they're sending their husbands on for the second half.

 

[Cioran]

I expect the breeze to turn around during the break. The knights must have the best sprint coach in the league. They’re never inside the ten but the arrive with the ball from dummy half.

 

[HK_Eagle]

It's like the Universe is going to show Des that he is in fact not God and he will also have to respect the laws of nature...

 

[Scorpio]

Elliot gone for how long? But yeah let’s loan Hoppa to the warriors

joke of a club

We should be able to recall him when needed.

If we haven't stipulated that in the loan agreement then that is very silly indeed.

 

[Brocky]

It's all good, I've heard they're sending their husbands on for the second half.

I hope Hasler is ripping them a new asshole

 

[swoop]

So much for better discipline.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

The refs have been reasonable, thus far.

We are a dumb , dumb, dumb footy team.

Yes, we are dumb. But our dumbness kicked in after the refs stopped being reasonable. Momentum turned on that rake call that was miraculously overturned. Another one near the line when Ponga just dropped the ball but they got a penalty anyway.

Seems like nothing can go right for us at the moment. Bright start, two really good tries, followed by some dud calls, an injury and mistakes coming out of our own end. And to top it all off, we let in yet another try just before the break. Tough to watch.

 

[joeboy]

I didn’t expect to win, but at 12-0 on attack and dick fingers Thompson drops the ball. Then The rot set in. I will be amazed if the knights don’t run a way with it in the second half. We left the club brain cell in 2019
