I’d like to know how many televisions, mirrors, lampshades or any other household items were destroyed in that last few minutes.

**** should have left that game missed, goddamn that sucks. We had it in our grasp again.

Ponga shows the value of an elite marquee player.

Almost all our big money was out
Johnson, Graham, Dugan, Fifita - about a third of the cap! We had Woods 600k Chad 530k Ramien 500k just didn’t have a game breaker like Ponga. Oh wait we had Matt Moylan in like 850k... not in same league as Ponga these days (if he ever was).
We could run Tracey or Kennedy at 5/8 and they’d be able to offer same as Moylan.

I know he had a stomach issue but **** his shoulders must be sore from carrying them.

Also shows value of marquee player when Ponga and Rudolf both jump and you get commentators begging for Rudolf to be penalised. They both jumped, if rudolf took Ponga out then Ponga took Rudolf out.

The slap on Nikora is a penalty 9 times out of 10, its soft but those get called usually. Brutal.

We're lacking that marquee player. Ponga win that game through sheer force of will. We plugged away and nearly stole it, but Ponga's class, ability and effort was the difference. Fitz better have one of those in his suitcase...

Ponga literally got involved in just about 4 plays, all for tries. I was up at the game watching him hunched over, throwing up on the ground the whole time. He is so clutch.

100%. Chuck our marquee in or take theirs out and it's a different result.

I swear he did it on purpose. Just stay hunched over and watch the play unfold and then just inject yourself. It’s genius really

Re watch Knights tries

Ok.

First try, Ramien’s fault, followed Best when he should have stayed on Ponga
Second try Nikora misses the tackle on Ponga. He makes that tackle they stop him.
Third try there are several players to blame here but Chad is not one of them. He actually tracks back to our in goal after being on halfway when the move started. Yes he couldn’t get the ball before Mann but at least he was there.
Fourth try Chad was nowhere near the play, Moylan missed the tackle.
Fifth try, should have been shut down by Moylan and Wilton, also Toby rushed up on Green at the play the ball and missed him terribly.

You’re clutching at straws saying any of this tries were Chad’s fault.

Now please remember that I’m no fan of Chad’s but you’re bagging him incorrectly here.

Just spent too long typing out this response in another thread. Chad can be very **** in games, but he was good tonight.

He even iced a sideline conversion tonight to put us ahead which should have won the game ffs.

I dunno man, kinda reads like Chad didn’t stop a single one of those tries
Pathetic excuse for Chad defending

Yep. Egg seems intent on the Chad bashing tonight, both of us it would seem!
