Goode isnt ready fior grade,
Round 18, 2010: Knights 21 - Sharks 10 At Energy Australia Stadium
- Thread starter Beejay
- Start date
I am in tears here. My hands are shaking and I have had to sit here and read your comments till I was able to type.
I am so angry and sick to death of this **** week in and week out. I am so over hearing about ****ups every time things start to go good for the team. We had the mad BELIEVE week at home and then that idiot Fergo started with his tantrums and demands, Ricky sitting on the sideline seething like he has a right to!
Deadset during that game I thought I was going to have a heart attack I was so angry. We are being embarrassed and the people who are giving their best week in and week out are being made to look like fools. Something has to give and unfortunatley it has been that good personnel walk and the deadwood are allowed to stay.
I'm reading what you guys all have to say but I don't think I can post till I calm down a bit. The thing that pisses me off is that Ricky will have read ALL of those boys the riot act and they have to endure the long trip home while he conjours up excuse after excuse for his team selections and game "plans".

Yeah Ricky is killing me. He should have had the balls to drop Fergo, if reports are true, the senior guys don't want him there. Get rid of him now.
There were very few positives out of todays play... struggling to think of any. Poms, ran hard, looks so much better running hard and straight. Aiton was pretty good. Gal worked hard as well.

Cov is a spent force. He was terrible today, he has gotten slower. Gardener is going great, the problem is we didnt get him the ball. We are most dangerous when we hit him off a second man play when he sweeps around but for some reason today we thought it was a better option to hit the flat runner instead which resulted in dropped ball. We were that bad today I just don't know how things are going to get better.

Pomeroy, Aiton and Gallen were the only ones that turned up.
Morris was quiet.
Tupou was putting effort in.
Gardner same as Tupou.
Douglas and Snowden can play better, but didn't disappoint.
Barrett wasn't even there, but did see glimpses of him hitting the line.
Smith, just waiting for him to get himself together.
Tautai, quiet.
Ferguson, won't bother with him.
Covell did some alright hit ups, only winger than can catch Pomeroys delayed passes.
Vave played with effort, should of been our penalty when De Gois was all over the ball.
Wright, wish saw more.
Cordoba, did hes job.
Morris was quiet.

I didn't watch it super close (was out) but didn't think he was that bad, considering how exhausted he would have been in defence. Good pass to Gallen should have been a try if Gal went outside. Kick-chased OK so more tackling. Tried to take the line on. His tackling is weak but he tries. He wasn't great but I think woeful is harsh.

Pathetic.
Pomeroy, Aiton and Snowden were the only ones worth cheering for. Hopefully they all cop a ****ing spray from Sticky.

Pretty ordinary again but remember that our best players looked stuffed from the Origin. Mistakes cost us dearly. It was like the Cronulla side at the start of this year when we couldn't hold the ball and gave away too much possession.
I liked Vave's contribution and would like to see more of him.
I'm ready to come out of retirement for that wing spot too. Both Ferguson and Covell need a long rest.

I have refrained from posting anything regarding today to allow me to gather my thoughts after which the following is blatantly obvious after today:
1. Stuart needs to go now
2. The side (flake aside) do not want to play for him
3. Flanagan and Stuart will fall out before season end
4. The board will somehow find the cash to let Stuart "leave" before season end
5. The superstar that is Flake Ferguson will end up a NSW cup player at any other club - can't tackle, can't pass, can't catch

Smith is a myth...no point in retaining him, we would have a better chance throwing morris at Halfback, not alot you can take out of that at all, i can normally find atleast a few possitives to take out of even a bad game, but this, not alot at all can be taken from that...Woefull

Yep! Filthy!
We just went backwards about 12 weeks. That was pathetic. Despite scoring first we were never in that game past the 20min mark. Why they had such a tough week in training is beyond me, and it showed today they were tired and sluggish. There was no urgency in anything we did, especially defence - did we even move up off the line at all or just wait for them to come to us?
I think Ricky over did them for this match. We weren't coming up against a good side, Newcastle are rubbish and they still were today, we were just worse. All we had to do was hold the ball, cart it up, kick, chase and wait for the Knights to **** it up. We'd get home easily off the back of our superior forwards and if the backs turned it on we'd romp it home. Instead we tried to get fancy with offloads and crap that just wasn't on.
What was the point of having Wright warm the bench for 72 minutes? Fair enough if we were going well you don't mess with something thats working and only 16 blokes will be used. But when you're going ****house, and there is a top candidate for a hooking in the form of Tupou, well Wright wasn't gonna do any worse, surely.
Thats our season gone with that performance. A complete **** up from the outset. I still can't get past why we'd have such a physical lead up for this and that is what cost us. I'm not laying the boot into Ricky, he obviously had something else in mind and things didn't go to plan, but he dropped the ball on this one big time.
And Gallen, for ****s sake he's gotta get less ball. I lost count of the amount of times we would of been better off letting Galls run through and instead picking up the deeper runner. When Galls starts a run no less than 3 defenders set themselves for big contact, whether he gets the ball or not he's gotten their attention which would open up some time and space for someone else. Although a bit of a gumby most of the time, Poms was making his way through pretty well this arvo and if he had Gallen running some decoy his odds of breaking through would increase big time.
What a **** of a game. What a waste of a season.
