Pre-game versus Roosters/Titans

[Scorpio]

Getting this thread in early.

The good news is that we're still in the finals, and have a chance at some redemption next week.

Whilst we were always a long shot to beat Melbourne, we have no excuses against either of these teams (most likely the Roosters).

A lot of this team are young, and they'll need to learn exactly what it takes to win matches at the pointy end of the season, in preparation for winning a premiership, which is hopefully not too far into the future.

Need to start games with a more disciplined approach, last few weeks the team have been off in the first 40, hopefully no injury concerns for next week and the Knights and Roosters bash each other about..

How are the Knights in this discussion??

Roosters play Titans tomorrow and we play the winners.

First thing hope Croker is back for next weekend.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’d expect Roosters to win AND we’ll get schooled by them next week.

mentally we are scarred.

We need to go through another 25 rounds in 2022 and build better resilience.

The games in the last two weeks ( whilst entertaining ) showed us we weren’t ready for finals football.

I think it's great that we get a second crack at it

The more finals experience we have the better

I hope this gives the team a wake-up call on the levels of discipline they need to have to get up

 

[Luke_m]

Our forwards were dominated they should be embarrassed !! We can’t beat any team of our forwards play like that

 

[Disco]

I think Roosters by 13+

Panthers game too.

Will be uncomfortable for Vlandys if the finals are blow outs

 

[The Who]

We'll be playing Easts and we'll start underdogs, particularly if we select the same starting 13. Harpo needs resting and The Shoe needs his defensive role lightened. I don't know if it's the coaching but the best attacking forward in the NRL has become Aiden Tolman.
We've got to take a chance on Suli, simply because we won't progress with the first 13 who took the field tonight.

I think Doesn'tmatta will also thrash Newcastle. For me this will be a flat track bullying.

Can’t see us beating Roosters if they get up so let’s go Titans!!

 

[Kalvin]

C'mon lads lift! We can beat a 2nd string roosters mob!
The boys will be stinging for redemption...I wouldn't want to be playing us next week!

Daniel t jwh teddy victor Sam walker Morris just to name a few. We are gone and agree next year in 2022 we are going to have improve immensely because on tonight's performance it at least 3-4 years away from us being serious contenders.

Never was our year in 2021.

Last year there was 0 intensity. Hopefully for everyone that does not repeat this season

Post of the night.

Turbo dce and Jake looked lost without him tonight.

Most undervalued player in our squad this year.

 

[40 nil]

If we don't have injuries from tonight, I would suggest this team for next week

1. Turbo
2. Saab
3. Parker
4. Harper
5. Garrick
6. Foran
7. DCE
8. Marty
9. Croker
10. Paseka
11. Haumole
12. Schuster
13. Jake
14. Walker
15. Suli
16. Keppie
17. Aloiai/Sipley

Maybe Keppie could start at left edge instead of Schuster
