I don't think the Knights have the pack to compete with the big boys this year. Even with Leo Thompson back, they are getting mauled by this roosters pack which I still think is understrength.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I think we have another gear from last year with RTS. He is a potential match winner who can turn momentum, something we could have used in the prelim against Brisbane last year.

I think we potentially have a number of gears to go up tbh. We are introducing some of our next generation talent, are ready in the second year of Webster to implement some attacking moves over and above the solid foundation from last year, and we seem to be playing more directly with lots of quality through the ruck. Egan in the middle, SJ on one side and RTS the other is a lot for the opposition to consider. A lot of professional players and experience. A lot of depth. It would be nice to have a gun player like a Walsh with speed to burn, but anything less than top 4 would be disappointing this year. Not inconceivable though, you can't take the opposition for granted in this comp.

last year we perfected our attacking shape. This year we have developed this penrith style possession game to complement our attack from last year. If we can showcase both moving forward, we can do even better than last year. Our full strength side might not be better than the full strength penrith or brisbane at present, but I think our third string side can beat their third string teams.

Manu making a statement of I want fb position. Going to get close to 300m

if RTS was playing fb for roosters, he'd be making close to 400m against this brittle newcastle ruck.

 

[Rizzah]

Smith back on.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Tyrell May playing like Tohu.

We played the knights in round 4. Rts was fb. He made 280m iirc. Not quite 400.

But fuck all passes!

He is a ball hog

They played much better against us than they are tonight. Their ruck is so loose tonight.

Who's missing from the Roosters pack?

Didn't they get someone suspended in round 1 for racial issues?

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

That's all though. They are actually full strength in the forwards I think.

 

[Beastmode]

both teams are terrible

 

[sydneywarrior92]

8 pt lead with 4 mins to go..... we all know how this feels.

Not anymore.

 

[tyrael]

Crossland great offload

 

[Aman 2.0]

Anyone else Lee find it suspicious they’re not showing replays of any of those knock ons?

Protecting the refs?

 

[Rizzah]

Fuck, gap opened for Elliot there. Thought it was done!
