Post-Game Discussion Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

[LeonardCohen]

I’m in the ‘injuries cost us and meant we had players exploited out of position’ camp but…

What perplexed me was the field goal attempt from Brooks. There were still 17 seconds on the clock. We should have taken one more hit up and got closer to the posts. Why we kicked from 40m was beyond me. It could have been Daly kicking from 30m and I would back him every day of the week.

 

[Kalvin]

Not sure re Simpkin tbh. Croker adds starch to the middle. When he went off it coincided with the Knights coming to get us. Siebold isn’t managing that rotation yet.

Agreed should have kept crocker out there

 

[Eagle 1]

True it did... I will accept that. We would have stumbled through and won if they stayed on the field.

But that Knights team are awful, they had a stack of injuries and dropped more.ball then they will all year and were totally down on confidence. Yet we collapsed.


We are just not good

Getting to 22 - 16 with 12 to go, DCE failed to steer us home from there. It's Sienara for the Qld side for DCE after this f... up.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Was going to the Titans game next Friday but honestly do I want to put myself through this insanity.

I wouldn’t.

 

[Thewestisbest]

DCE is a fraud at club level. How many games in 10 years that should have been iced haven’t been.
Fogarty ices that game every single time.

Like many I can’t wait to see the back of him.
That kick on half time is the perfect metaphor for his selfish career which has yielded a decade of nothing since the backflip.

That side that just beat us had no props and half a first grade side out and had not scored a point in 8 first halves.

A disgraceful effort from top to bottom. Our coach and team seem incapable of grinding out a win.

wasnt DCE at dummy 1/2 he pushed Bully out of the way to pass the ball

Any chance Garrick can kick a goal?

 

[Eagledare2dream]

Everyone go2 bed
please and tomorrow we'll enjoyed it with the whole clans complaining. I hope all da members out there will cancel their membership like I'm because that was the worse effort I've ever seen from us and I've seen FU#####KEN HEAPS. I'll continue to support them but not paying my cost of living and hard earn cash$$$ on a bunch of LOSERS. It was a training run for us but lost to a NSW Cup team. I've been pissed off b4 but not like this, and I hope we miss da finals because if we make it we'll b out the first week anyway. The weird thing about it is I was happy with all our players and couldn't pick any bad players untilled the last 10-20 mins.

Anyway a ****TT TEAM IS A ****TTT TEAM, It is what it is. And they'll replace us in the top 8 just like they did for 1st place in 1997. LOSERS

 

[Gonzosnos]

Surely we can’t lose this one.

We sure did 🤣

 

[Budgie]

DCE was appalling.
Coaches should have known Knights would come out on fire after being booed off at half time. It is written in stone.
Why wasn't Croker brought back on when we desperately needed defence?

Vomit

 

[Highflier]

that 1st goal kick was an exspensive miss as it turns out ,but I still blame DCEs terrible kicking ,I dont think 1 kick all night was what you would call good

 

[ManEagle]

We look good when the other team is playing **** and then crumble at the first sign of the opposition coming back.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Probably gassed from lack of match fitness. Simpkins defence wasn’t bad. It was out to our left they were killing us.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

1997 HERE WE GO AGAIN, Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa

 

[eaglebuzz]

Frustrating game. If Hoppa hadn't gone off we would have won handily. Every time we have a chance to climb the ladder we blow it.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

That’s very true. We can’t absorb momentum shifts and ride them out. We just get swamped and look totally ragged.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

UNFORGIVEABLE

 

[Wombat Junior]

I've never become non verbal and taken my night meds so fast, I feel like my anger and disappointment will be strong enough to counteract them tbh.

 

[LeonardCohen]

No he got the ball to take a shot but they rushed him so he switched the point of the attack to Brooks. All we needed to do was send another forward up for 6-10m and take the shot on the next play.

 

[Rafferty]

Won’t be popular, but Jake and Frog, ok their defensive effort was good for the first 10 minutes, Jazz at 13 and Simpkin starting @ 9 and we were looking good, anyway Seibs goes back to his pick and stick ways and we pay the price.

6 runs between them and 45 meters combined, throw in DCE with 1 run for 4 meter and you have 3 senior players making 7 runs between them for less than 50 run meters, you can add DCE’s kicking game to the stinking pile of sh1t and Seibs, plain clueless.
