Sharpe finally off.

Didn't realize Sandon Smith was a Knight!

 

[Inruin]

Sharpe finally off.

God Sandon Smith on the bench and you leave Sharp on?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

He collapsed a 2nd time with the trainer trying to back it back to the line. Sure you burn an interchange but fuck me.

 

[Damo]

Did the Knights hire Tongas medical staff

If he gets subbed and is ok he could be subbed back on for the hooker and Smith moves to 9. Dumb decision keeping him on

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Purdue is a gun at the back

 

[Inruin]

Dom Young been taking lessons from DWZ on defense

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Kinda want Newcastle to stink it up early do that KP is convinced to bail. Maybe then he'll see the light and join wahnation!

 

[Mr Drag]

Not going well for the Cowboys!

You jinxed the Knights you old fool!

He was let go from Chooks for a reason.

 

[WAH MAN]

We may have picked the right injury prone Knight

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Naeame's looked impressive off the bench

The Knights were good to watch.

Partly curiosity to see how they'd play Brown after a year of speculation about where they'd play him, how he'd fit in.

Ponga was looking a lot better. Might be a combination of being injury free and a new coach getting him a bit more motivated.

And someone decent at 7 creating another attacking threat

Then it all went to shit with 1 injury

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Great try

That can happen to a lot of teams across the NRL when they lose a half.

Crazy thing is you'd expect it for the Knights if it was Brown or Ponga. The two guys on million dollar contracts. Sharpe was looking good in that spine until then.

Also probably still a bit of the soft underbelly from the last few years when things don't go their way.

Smith looked good in the trials. But was playing a lot slower than Brown, Sharpe and Ponga were playing.

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

With the amount of Origin players thought the Cowgirl would be leading easily by now.

 

[Citygirl]

How did Lodge get a visa for the US
