i was shattered for them, thats how bad that was

I wasnt. When we were at our worst (never as bad as this current knights era), we copped **** left right and centre. I feel for the knights players only, not the fans. You can see how hard those blokes are trying.

he shouldnt.......hes not a noted goal kicker.....as for that last tackle option that led to the try, happens to everyone, even the great Robbo. At the end of the day, the entire team put themselves 10 points up with 5 to go, and the whole team managed to **** it. everyone else is as guilty of ****ing that game as lamb.

interesting stat though that the oldest player in their pack was 23 also

It was rubbish play from the so-called experienced half in the team. Why didn't he step up and handle the situation? Piss poor, Brown should be furious.

What the goal kick? or the charge down kick? wasnt hodkinson on the other side of the field? Maybe the hooker shoulda gone left?

after them losing to the dragons a few weeks ago i didn't think it could get much worse for them. nek minute.

**** the knights !

The kick in general play. He needs to get himself in position for that kick imo.

well with a minute to go, it wasnt really a difficult option either. put it into touch. or even just run it and get tackled. I wouldnt have thought you needed the most experienced player to execute that. Really it sums up the knights this year. They arent getting raped every week like the last 2 years, but they are doing so much hard work, then letting it all come undone with poor decision making. Before that set even began, the message shoulda been clear between the halves and hooker how that set should end.

Think back to the 2015 loss to the Warriors. Fifita got us in front with a few minutes to go. Robbo only had to put the ball to touch or something and we coulda defended it out. Instead went the clearing kick and Hoffman charged it down, Johnson scores next play

Apparently Gordon is out for 8 weeks for the chooks.

Time for Connor to step up for em. Love watching that bloke play footy

Lucky that Flash had recently signed a one year extension, would have been harder for him to negotiate from the sidelines at his age.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Gordon had been solid at the back, they're going to miss him. Hopefully means they drop a few games and helps our Top 4 hopes

Yeah and his goalkicking was back to his best as well.

 

[creg]

Jake Friend out for a month as well.

Knights paying 6.70 against them for the round after next.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Makes the Roosters top 4 chances that much harder now.

I know its meaninglessness
But sportingportal has a table if games were decided at halftime

We'd be coming 14th
Glad Flanno has seen the value in moving from a 70 minute team to a 80

And the tigers/knights could well be avoiding the spoon race just going on first half starts

I would rather be a team that comes home strong than blows it's load early
But coming into the finals yea we wanna get back to starting games stronger so we are under less pressure to chase points in the big games

I've seen several Raiders fans sharing a similar table of what would happen if 6pt losses were reversed hahaha

Pretty ****en pathetic. The actual ladder is "what if Raiders **** the bed and their fraud coach can't put 2 good seasons together".
