[EaglesDontTweet]

Where do do bookies have us?

 

[Simonmyers11]

Blew it.way too many mistakes cost us in that game.

 

[Fluffy]

Great job by the boys tonight, we were never going to win that, it was all about the Cinderella Knights.

Ref mom by a country mile.

I'm happy to lose it like that. We need to be better but it's only round 1. Lots of things to take away from that game.

 

[HoldenV8]

Would love to blame the refs, but the reality is we didn't help ourselves.

Our forwards dominated, but we didn't take advantage of it.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Got what we deserved pitiful performance against a side working out new combinations.

 

[fLIP]

Piggy back win. Cant count once they had to work it out from their line on their own. 13 v 15

 

[Dan]

We we fought hard we tried hard we deserved part of that. The last part of the first half of golden point was a joke.

However mistakes cost us and that’s something that can be fixed. Game one is game one. Knights will give it a red hot go this year.

Upset at the loss but see enough to get us somewhere. I felt the same way in 2011

The cinderella rooster- knights

 

[The Royal Soup]

What a stitch up from the refs and the NRL

So many okay the balls from Newcastle where ball didn’t touch foot

What a joke

 

[Steve76]

Both wingers are slow and cant catch.
Same **** as last year.
Dce too frightened to run the ball.
Same **** as last year.
Barrett needs to bring hastings in from now. Rd 2.
5/8.

 

[Pepi]

Knights won't get those leg ups all year. What a ****en joke

 

[Garts]

Oh well, bring on next week. Some positive signs but need to improve our discipline. Happy with the forwards but the backs lacked some firepower. Wish Walker was back sooner.

 

[HappilyManly]

Bugger

Good signs but displine is still costing us.
Can't believe that Jake got walked 10 for backchatting after 3 other cautions earlier

AFB's play the ball penalty was a given, hope he gets a boof up his behind at training

 

[globaleagle]

dear oh dear.

 

[damiennp90]

17 mistakes in one game.

 

[Bubbler]

I don’t think Croker is ready for first grade after watching that game.

Surely Hastings is going to be given a go. He also adds another option to take the field goal attempt with everyone rushing up on Cherry, in addition to kicking in general play and goal kicking.

 

[Jerry1]

We looked like spooners tonight.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Would love to blame the refs, but the reality is we didn't help ourselves.

I agree. I don't blame the refs for that one. We had heaps of chances to win it. Our forwards were strong and Crocker didn't look out of place at all but we made too many errors at the wrong time.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Too much pressure on DCE to do it all.
