2023 NRL Round 26 Newcastle Knights v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, 4:05PM Sunday 27th August @ McDonald Jones Stadium

Was it only 12-6 when that horrendous nikora challenge didnt get over turned? Capitulated after that. Disgraceful call how wasnt that a strip?

Tracey got tackled high, he also caught it in the in goal but no 20m restart.

Was a **** performance all round. Those missed calls from the officials turned the game. But we were also our own worst enemies regardless.

 

[Wiz]

They performed better but I really can't see them as a better team.

Although, after the Melbourne game I thought every team on the planet was better than us.

Agreed, not too worried

More worried if Hynes isn’t in the team next week

 

[Wilson]

Again it’s a shame the last 20 minutes occurred.

We showed real grit defending our line prior to that, especially considering we did it a lot.

We didn’t help ourselves with dropped balls, and set restarts. Newcastle didn’t do this and that was ultimately the difference.

Can’t wait another one of Fitzgibbons boring droning monotone press conferences

 

[Tank]

At the game you could see our forwards were rooted.
If Souths win by few and we do our normal job v Raiders we miss out
After watching our 2nd half its probably better we do

 

[Thresher]

Wasn't our night.

We fought the tide until it wasn't worth fighting anymore.

Proud of our first 50-60min.

 

[Pishposh46]

They all blew their load. Absolutely disgusting commentary

Next week they'll be waxing lyrical about Jack Wighton's last premiership game for the Raiders and will be trying to get them over the line.

its a given

and on the back of a Ricky whinge - NRL will be more than willing to accommodate
yes it is a thing

shame we just aren't strong contenders for the finals
had belief in this team after watching all our wins in the past week, thought we could do something but we aren't just having the run

 

[Tank]

The word again is Resilience...we lack it...
Have done for a while...was obvious today

 

[Pishposh46]

AC joint injury for Ponga apparently. See ya later Ramien.

Doesn’t deserve to miss a week or anything for that hit.

100%


we need to take a hard look at ourselves and fix the damn thing

up to you Sharkies...

Agree, but because golden boy KP will probably miss a game or two, that always becomes a factor whether tackler gets reported and suspended or not.

He's clueless

But we dont fix it...We have had about 5 or 6 halfs this year where we have been annihilated and seem to give up
I think we run out of ideas very quickly

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

He's clueless

Put ya hand up then ****

If Hynes is out and Ponga is in not hard to say they have the edge
Make it their home ground were certainly up against it

exactly...

yeah, I hope we channel some of the energy and motivation of the post-Melbourne game...

as a BWB fan feels like the same deal this evening

 

[Thresher]

Regardless, I can't see us successfully tangling with the top teams in finals without a Tino or Tapine in our squad.

(Newcastle far from a top team)
