Isn't Schiller supposed to be fast? He gave up that chase VERY early and could have covered Young

Bad call on the field backed up by the bunker. That was just a loose carry.

He wouldn’t be in the top 50 backs speed wise in the comp. I can’t think of a slower winger.

The Faiders are back! They have to put this belong them and get back to what worked for them.
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

It only really became loose when it was fondled. I think that was a fair enough penalty.

He's busted, and Ponga knows it.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Jack Wighton. It’s been miserable these past 2 years watch our best player become our worst. Happy to see him go really which is a shame.

Jack Wighton makes the tackle, knows he’s out of position and doesn’t chase out.

And there it goes. Forward pass in that, of course.

I'm attacking in the right way, instead of just...attacking in the general direction. - Max Aaron (also eerily apropos for the Green Machine)

57th min TRY KNIGHTS Ponga sets Young away, and Gagai is there on the inside. Ponga cannot convert. The ball hits the post and bounces away.

Knights 22-16
