POST GAME [Round 21, 2021] Knights vs Broncos

[Johnny92]

You only have to compare Kelly and Crofts stats to know who the 7 should be.
Is Tesi Nui scared of contact?
Oates was vintage Oates if Coates was on that wing Knights put 50 on us.
I see everyone go on about Herbie not passing.. yes there is times he could but most the times Oates isn't in the better position then him and would be bundled into touch. Herbie looked dangerous.
Willison is going to be Haas 2.0 in a couple years if developed right.
Levi needs to be resigned.
Was Kobe off most the game?
Glenn cracked the 100m he's been playing alot better.
The commentators are so biased against us and some of the refs calls were shocking.
But we are definitely on the improve especially since lodge and pangai have gone and Coates out of the team. Happy with that performance

 

[Broncapz]

Gamble shit on Ponga most of the night. Oates was huge. We are starting to seem like a real team....imagine trading out Croft and Glenn for Capewell and Reynolds. Throw in Staggs and some proper reffing....we smash the knights by 30+.

I want to keep Levi, unless we have another 9 coming. I think he's better than Turps on form.

Finally..
I'm all for diversity and representation within the game... but I draw the line at having a brain dead /vision impaired moron pretending to be a video ref. Some standards would be nice for a professional sport, and this game is worthy of an official complaint or a presser fine.

From fucking who??

One guess

 

[Mightybroncs2k17]

Welcome back Mr C. Oates.
I for one have missed you.
One of very few of Siebolds victims who looks to have fully recovered from the Seibold era.

 

[LittleDavey]

I look forward to the multiple stories across multiple media platforms about how we were robbed because of the "try" calling when one of our players was clearly, tackled without the ball. For the second, or was it third? time of the match, by the same player on the same player. After a relatively clear knock on, too, let's not forget.

Or is there only media outcry when calls go against whoever the Broncos are playing? Honestly though, this is going to be very revealing. We all saw it. The commentators all saw it. Everyone except the bunker, apparently, who actually sounded very nervous when claiming "no interference".

 

[Jedhead]

Connor Watson must have the most fucked gait in the NRL if the bunker reckons he was running normally. That Best tackle erased any doubt I had that we’re not being setup to fail each week. But getting pushed out not once but twice is unforgivable.

Kevvie still has no clue on how to use his bench. There were a number of things as just mentioned that we can control and it would have changed that game. We are still a very low IQ footy team.

 

[PNG Broncos fan88]

The fucking ref was managing the ruck like a jealous step mother all night ....
Knights play the balls, he shrilly yells at the Broncs players every single tackle to get off in turn enabling them to roll up the field.
Yet when we have the pill, he barely pips a squeak for consecutive tackles allowing them to lay all over us in the ruck killing our goddamn momentum.

Fuckingbullshit Fitzgibbon try!!!

 

[Unbreakable]

I like Riki's work rate in defense, but **** me, it'd be beneficial for him to take the odd set off so at least he's got a bit of gas left.

Four weeks in a row he's made 40+ tackles. You can't expect to A) Be efficient defensively and B) Have any impact in attack if you're consistently gassed from all the tackles you're making.

Riki - 46 tackles
Glenn - 36 tackles
Farnworth - 7 tackles
Arthars - 7 tackles

Surely our centres can take a bit more work load defensively...

 

[nopatience101]

Did croft seriously make zero run metres? That’s what the nrl app says.

Kevvie is slow, but surely he goes with Kelly at 7 next week!

 

[the_next]

Since taking the biggest earners out of this side; Milford, TPJ & Lodge we have looked a far, far better team.
We certainly haven’t missed Fleggler nor did we miss Turpin tonight. Levi was impressive again tonight.
We are certainly moving towards a team who genuinely want to play for each other and the jersey. A couple of solid off-season recruits could rocket this team into finals contention next year.

 

[mrslong]

Its his first season and has dealt with a shit show of a team with no management for half the season. Which good coach do you Insist on??

Assistant coaches is what I said.

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Agree Kelly should have been subbed for Croft in the first half and Riki just doesn't have the fitness yet too start and should be a bench player. Kennedy has become the new Flegler with at least one stupid penalty a game. With the amount of dud calls we get our captain should be in the refs ear all game and while walking off at halftime but all we get from Glenn is crickets.

He's working harder now for that Instagram account

 

[mstreet]

Hate to say it, but i agree with Fittler. We look a very immature footy side at times. Hopefully Capwell and Reynolds fix it up.

Immature, but not hopeless. Bit improvement. Reynolds and Capwell can work with immaturity. The Queen Mary is turning. 50 points would have been put on us early in the year.

 

[Jedhead]

I thought Gamble pretty much nullified Ponga and Kennedy did not look up to his usual standards.

 

[FaceOfMutiny]

Should someone play centre if they can't pass?

I think a TC and Riki tag team would work good but for someone who the commentators were saying was falling off tackles alot he only missed 4.
Rikis defence has been a massive improvement.

 

[Tmac]

In some ways I feel like we still need a brain dead mule like turpin to cop the brunt of the tackling in the first 20 minutes. Then a guy like Levi can come on and bring some energy around the ruck.

also, why are we still persisting with Croft? Walters is a stubborn prick

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Seriously... The second someone starts calling "conspiracy" over refs or media I instantly snore. Can we not be better than this as fans? Really getting old
