2019 Rd 3 V Knights: Game Day

Peej, he's a natural born footballer. And a complete heart attack

Think We could be without Leilua for a week for the elbow. Assuming Taps is back maybe Bateman goes to centre and Sutton retains his #13 jersey?

If not, maybe oldfield is back from injury and slots in there?

Not much in it
He was hanging on, he lashed out
Feels like penalty sufficient, but he’s the sort of player with the kind of record that might get a week.

I don’t think so though. There wasn’t any intent there really

Who would you put at right centre of he doesn’t eat a week, Pig? I suppose it depends on Taps’ thumb?

*Yeah for me it wouldn’t
Oldfield was an abject disaster there... I’d go Cotric and trust Simmonsen or Oldfield as a winger

Fair call. Have to agree. Always appreciate your posts and opinions

I'm in the Philippines and thks to my GF I got dragged to Tagaytay where the scenery and climate are great but sports-bars seem to be non-existent. Thks to the GH fateful who provided an excellent running commentary. Seems like a lot of work still needs to be done to compete win the big boys. Still great to jag a win!

Now you can enjoy the island in a lake on an island in a lake

That's gotta sting..Jamie Soward agrees.

Too true!

[Neeeegz]

A win is a win I guess, a few positives are Bateman and cnk. Both have made a massive difference. The horse and young are great examples that Ricky has changed his approach after last season, and will pick in form, and I am happy with their showing so far. Big difference from 2017/18. plenty of mistakes and lots of improvement left in us, got the points. Onto next week, aim up. Line speed will win us games.

Even though we weren’t perfect, I really rate that win and I rate that start to the year.

Consider the fact we haven’t seen our more flamboyant players like tapine, cotric, ew and rapana get out of first gear yet and there is reason to believe we should get better.

We seem to have a bit more steel in our defence and be that little bit more agile.

How freaking good is Jonny B. Just a weapon and a superb signing.

Danaman appreciates the Pig..

Nice.

Jack is not a 6 or 1. He's a 3 or 4

Making him a 6 is just dumb. But hey. Let's clap EDIT

Goodnight all.

I agree with you Dubby. If you were coach would you pick him ahead of BJ or Croker?

[dubby]

Me? Never would have signed BJ.

He has him moments but has no discipline. I wouldn’t be sad if we moved him on.

[raiderskater]

Thought Ponga was very disappointing today.... I think that was the key to our victory, keeping him quiet. On the other hand Charnze and Bateman were superb for us

We really got into him with ball in hand. He didn’t recover in the first half after Lui went at him like a heat seeker!

Actually thought Lui had a pretty decent game tonight. Most of the forwards did. Sutton was good. Bateman - what is there to say that hasn't been said? Sorry England, you ain't getting him back, we're keeping him.

Same goes for CNK. We gotta keep him. He impresses me more and more each week.

Wighton chose a terrible night to have a stinker, but one thing I've always liked about his playing is that if he's having an ordinary night with ball in hand, he redoubles his defensive effort to make up for it and he was very good there. Williams was a bit hit or miss, but his positioning was good I thought.

Croker's defensive renaissance continues. He seems very unafraid to come out of the line now and be aggressive. We also covered the gap when he did much better this week.

The refereeing was atrocious. The absolute hide of the ref to penalise Leilua for the arm. Now yes, Leilua was stupid to do it, but if the refs actually did their bloody job and stopped Newcastle from having a nap on top of us every time, it wouldn't have happened!

All in all not great, but not horrible, we got the two points and more importantly did not lose our heads only being six ahead in the last ten. So, a big step forward. Let's see if we can keep it up.

[CJ42]

Sammy Williams got on the protein in the off season, I’m sure I saw him stop Klemmer on his own. At this stage I couldn’t care less if Williams or Sezer is halfback, whoever does the job plays for mine.

I’m Absolutely stoked with our forward pack,
Literally the best we’ve looked in the middle for years bar a purple patch in 2016. We are defending with speed and aggression, great signs. Everyone is doing a job.

If they don't, Bateman at 95kg and sia will show them how it's done

I said bj was a player on the wane pre season. Got shouted down. I maintain my position.

He is a rocks and diamonds player. Like McCrone.

Williams deserves to hold the 7 for a while Sezer has been poor and Williams showed a bit tonight

[CJ42]

John Bateman is almost my favourite raider already, I **** love him. He literally steps and hops like he’s the 1960s version of Shaun Johnson, he’s an absolute grub, tough as nails and passionate as hell. Get him in here.

[Neeeegz]

I had a chuckle to myself when EdropLee knocked at dummy half.

EDIT

He may of been thinking about the grand final we missed because of him

It’s a winning team scenario
You wouldn’t change it this week to next anymore than you would wk1 to 2
It’s place holding for George

So pipe down

I have a feeling he isn’t always the best for team harmony either

[Neeeegz]

No wonder Warriors fans were pissed when CNK was released without a fight.

Looks like a brilliant pickup

What’s the story behind the poxy arrow shooting try celebration CKN does?

[GreenGirl]

I would be very happy to see Sam Williams next week instead of Sezer. Make Sezer earn his way back in the Mounties. He certainly didn’t show anything in the last two weeks.

John Bateman is a rock star! And CNK is such a better positional player than Wighton. Hopefully Wighton practices kicking this week! Or just let’s Sammy and Hodgo kick instead!

You could possibly give Wighton line kicks on penalties but what’s the bet he wouldn’t put it out.....

[Bay 67]

You need a few of those games to get into the finals. We had a lot go against us despite being largely the dominate team. As others have said CNK and Bateman have been fantastic.

Wighton is still a work in progress... not convinced he's a 6. Thought Sammy was solid tonight.

Once Cotric, Papa, Rapana and Whitehead regain some form we'll be looking really good.

Agree with all that except I think you’re a bit harsh on Papa - I think he’s been very very good this year.

[Dusty]

Cotric is well out of form
