[The Royal Soup]

a glorious win in the end!

 

[The '47ers]

I think we've killed off yet another opposition coach

 

[Snake]

Very very happy with the 12 points against!

 

[wombatgc]

Great work. Good luck with the 321.

 

[40 nil]

Some champagne tries tonight - reminiscent of former eras

 

[ManEagle]

Jeez I was worries with 5 to go ...

Nah good solid win and finished it off
Let's go ooo MAAAAAAAAANLY
WHOOOO

 

[Jerry1]

I reckon Rubes could get a fullback gig in half the teams in the NRL. He may be pricing himself out of a wing spot.

 

[Jerry1]

Yep - first half I was a tad worried

 

[Woodsie]

I reckon Rubes could get a fullback gig in half the teams in the NRL. He may be pricing himself out of a wing spot.

And Croker is no longer going to settle for chump change ...

My thoughts, and primary concern, exactly….

 

[Ranga]

And Croker is no longer going to settle for chump change ...

Nor should he. He’s earned it the hard way.

 

[XV-1]

Finally an 80 minute performance.

Nice team performance.

We are going to need this plus more against The Dragons next week as they have had the wood on us recently.

 

[Ranga]

And Croker is no longer going to settle for chump change ...

How do you rate Saab’s performance tonight? I thought it was one of his best - he seemed to come in off the long run for his hit ups tonight and didn‘t get rag dolled. Did the though stuff well.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Good win. A bit of struggle early Knights came to play
Some nice tries scored
Was a nice win
Nice performance from everyone
all in all a nice win

 

[Rafferty]

Happy with the win, played out the 80, no points against us for the last 30, no injuries, back in the 8 , happy for the rest of the weekend.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

As soon as DCE came off in the last 5, I knew we could kick on and not leak a point.

 

[Woodsie]

He went well .. played strong and is learning to hit between players in his hit ups ... he wasn't tested in defence with much ... and I have always liked his enthusiasm.

It concerns me though that he didn't make more of his 2 opportunities when he got some space ... I would like to see him beat a man or stand one up.

PSS .. now that I answered you honestly I suppose I will have to take all the people misinterpreting my critique as some sort of put down .. it's not, he does what he does well, well .... and he does what he does poorly, poorly ...

He takes a while to wind up to full pace, that‘s for sure. Combine him and Koula and you might have someone who can beat Bolt’s world record!

In response to your PSS, you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t…. I understand your perspective on him though. The only thing I would say is that his hit ups have historically been poor, but tonight were very good. So I’m optimistic about what he might become.

Yep, and it pains me to harp on about it, but I still can't believe we're breaking up one of the great halves partnerships of the last decade (possibly more) and letting Foran go again. It's not a matter of preferring Foran over Cherry or Cherry over Foran, it's just that as a combination they are up there with the greats. That try the two of them worked for Saab down the short side tonight was as close as rugby league will ever get to poetry. It was beautiful.

And I know some people will fault Foz for the way he left us originally, but surely that's all water under the bridge and all that matters is the football he helps the team produce. Besides which, even if we care about it, the players clearly don't. It's so rare to find a halves combination like this one, and it was almost a miracle we ever got to see it again. So to think of Foz ending his career at the Titans breaks my heart.
