Other Games [Round 19, 2021]

[Rafferty]

I wish Saifiti would punch Clifford in the mouth. He's played his a$$ off tonight only for that weasel to do nothing but slaughter opportunities and hand advantage back to the Roosters time and time again.

Mate your right his kicking tonight has been woeful

 

[cc eagle]

There is still 14 minutes left . Whilst there is life there is hope

Not much, Knights hopeless, no halfs, fullback doing nothing

 

[Fonzarelli]

I really like Walker at 14, but I think Watson is a better utility. I.e., if Watson was named at hooker, five-eight or fullback or had to cover an injury mid-game in one of those positions, I would be more confident than if it was Dylan. If you needed someone to come off the bench and change the course of a game, Walker for sure. Will be interesting to see what happens with Walker.

I agree, Watson can play 5/8 hooker and fullback more adequately than walks. Walker can still cover the halves just not that well haha. Interesting to see how dylan progresses and what Des will do with him. At the start of the season he was training outside of Foran so... funny how things change

He's always been hot and cold, mostly cold

 

[BOZO]

Good win by the roosters

 

[HoldenV8]

The only thing keeping Newcastle in this right now is that the Chooks don't have a goal kicker.

Ponga is definitely playing like someone who picked up a chest injury in the warm up. He's phoned this game in.

 

[BOZO]

Not much, Knights hopeless, no halfs, fullback doing nothing

You were spot on. game over

 

[HK_Eagle]

WTF is it with Ponga tonight? Surely he didn't start the game with an injury. I assume he picked up something early in the game? Teddy has spanked him tonight

It looks that way . I thought the knights could offer a bit more than what they dished out

Ponga was missing in action tonight thats for sure

 

[HK_Eagle]

Oh wow, Kurt Mann caught out with a cat effort there. He was assuming the guy on the outside had Crighton and phoned in a pretend tackle, only to be badly exposed when the outside guy didn't have him. That was very embarrassing for Mann.

 

[40 years an eagle]

Watson has impressed me playing that role. Looks like des took a page out of knights book there

This has been done for years and years mate. Peachy for example.

 

[47MVEagle]

What's with Cronk constantly saying "Teddy has the hot hand".

Geez he loves to invent ridiculous phrases & then flog them to death.

 

[HK_Eagle]

The really depressing thing about tonight's game is that we threw away our game against this Knight's side. A busted Rorters team showed us how we should have dealt with these phonies.

 

[TWO DOGS]

Or he's "shooting out the lights".

Picked up a sternum injury in the pre-game. Had to actually go and have injections just to play.

They'd have almost been better off making a late change instead of Ponga playing.

 

[pt73]

Not much, Knights hopeless, no halfs, fullback doing nothing

What, a future immortal doing nothing ……..

I wonder how Fox will deal with that.

 

[QueefRichards]

Cronk is full of mixed metaphors

Newcastle "turning the screws in their favour"

All viewers suffering for Fox not ensuring that commentators can commentate before they commentate

All viewers also suffering for Newcastle halves producing the most brain dead kicking options in the second half

 

[HK_Eagle]

Well that's just plain stupidity on the Knight's behalf. Ponga is not the sort of guy to play through injury. They most certainly should have made a late change

 

[HK_Eagle]

What do we reckon about this game? Sure, Storm should kill it and the result doesn't effect us one way or the other... I'm gonna call a stunning upset with the Cows getting up
