As a knights fan. I watched every game during their three wooden spoons 2015-17. It was honestly easier to watch during that period because you had 20 year olds at least having a go. I actually don’t think I can bring myself to watch them anymore. They can’t expect people to attend their games and make plans to watch them when they don’t look interested. It’s honestly starting to feel like we’re the Tigers.
If you have 4 origin players in your line up, 2 forwards and 2 backs, then you should absolutely be going better than what the knights are. I think the issues have to go beyond the team. They need to lift every aspect of their game. It’s so hard being a knights fan.
Yeah Andre (his dad) seems like one of those nightmare celebrity/sports stars over controlling parents/'agent' e.g Jelena Dokic's dad, Leyton Hewitt's parents (until he cut them off from managing him and became successful) and Britney Spear's infamous and well publicised father controlling every facet of her life until recently etc etc
1.2 mil and he looked like a rookie out there. If it’s true when he met with benett for a contract at the dolphins and he said he had areas of improvement to work on I definitely believe that now.
Ponga doesn’t have the self awareness to realise (or care) if he piss’s off all his team mates. He will probably sit on the fat contract and turn in average performances for the next 5 years. Knights should have let him go.
This is one of the most accurate comments I’ve seen. Ponga has not developed into a rugby league player. He hates to tackle, and as such has a poor technique for most parts of the field particularly on his try line. The fact they resigned him and have not helped him improve in this regard is a fault of the coach and club. Ponga does not garner the respect of his team mates and this compounds the issues at the knight’s
Whatever it is just make them consistent and not dependent on which player it is. NRL and panels have there favourites that they will protect likewise go to town on if they hate a certain player.
Ponga looks like he's doesn't love footy but because he's good at it thats why does it. Say what you want about Latrell atleast you can see he always has a go
How did Tupou get to stay on the field after that tackle??? Merely putting him on report wasn’t enough. An incident like that is just why I think referees should be called on to explain some of the truly bizarre & controversial calls we’ve seen so far this season. Many will state Tupou’s tackle as a “dog shot” but honestly, how he got to stay on the field after a hit like that is an absolute mystery 🤔🤔🤔
@@moronicdooshbaggery756 … It’s pretty much expected when they play huh??? I think it was Todd Payten from the Cowboys who hinted at the top teams getting preferential treatment in close calls, especially foul play (without specifically saying it), but he was simply echoing what we’ve all known for a long time.
I'd really love to actually manage a team according these muppets and self appointed experts in the comments section. Every foul should incur a 6 week ban. Don't worry about trying to distinguish between mistakes, careless or reckless, Just say they are all "dog shots" and send them off straight away with a 6 week ban. Any heavy loss or consecutive loss - sack the coach! If you lose any game sack the half back or marquee player and replace them with er I'm not sure maybe some young guy in park footy! Doesn't matter sack em anyway sacking solves all problems. If no one ends up playing the game sack someone at headquarters for letting this happen. Forget data science and moneyball let's implement "comments sectionball" and turn NRL into the dumbest game of all
They’ve said it themselves, no platform for anyone to play off. Be as concerned about the knights as you want, Kalyn signings for 5 years has nothing to do with how they performed. Tupous tackles reckless minimum 2 to 4 weeks
The worst part of the Tupou tackle for me is when the ref sent it to the bunker, he said "check it, I don't think it's as bad as it looks" If that was Jaydn Su'a or Hetherington they wouldn't say that at all and they would get binned + spend time out of the game.
They should have spoken about how 13%win percentage Baz dropped Jacob Kiraz for the superstar that is Jake Averillo. Kiraz did in one game what Averillo hasnt done in 30 games of Nrl. Sack Trent Barrett
Tupou is trying to get contact on the ball to dislodge it I believe. It sort of falls into a category of more serious than careless and less serious than reckless. Latrells tackle on Manu last year shows what reckless is, tupou did not follow through with his tackle once he knew he had made a mistake, however it is a really bad misjudgement.
As a knights supporter and have been since 88 I am sure that the likes of Harragan Butterfield Glanville would have been embarrassed at that performance. Also supporters getting the jack of apologies after that sort of crap they dished up.
braith the player agent playing both sides,when nepotism enters your game,you know its in trouble,but on a serious note ,newcastle has a legion of fans turning up week in week out,they honestly deserve better,good people up there,real people,unlike the fluff down in the city
Knights have no threat out of dummy half and have a “give it to Ponga” mentality with the ball, which just doesn’t work at NRL level. They are one really gun forward and an experienced half short of being top quality, I believe. Ashley Klein is the worst ref in the game. On field or in the bunker, and the fact he didn’t advise Gee that Tupou needed to go to the bin after looking at it in slow motion is beyond a joke, particularly now that Gee has copped it.
Ponga is a fullback still to be proven overtime, his no Billy Slater no Darren Lockyer, no Dale Shearer, but giving him a standing ovation on his signing of 5 years shows me the knights are desperate and easily pleased.
Ponga is failed Hype simple as that dude is TRRRAAASSSHHHHHHH fits in well with the knight because they are A$$ as well. Biggest waste of money for sure and knights gonna be kicking themselves when this guys form just drops and drops, It's actually gonna be a funny sight to see if I'm being honest with you lol.
If Rava stays on the ground motionless. This is a different story. Because the tough guy got straight up, it's no big deal to some of these clowns. It's a send off, 4 weeks min.
I also don’t know how these guys can say that the knights shouldn’t have made the Ponga resigning as big of an announcement as they did… these guys did segments on the Ponga contract situation every single night. They were obviously fascinated with the story.
@@hansoloburger2322 I have no problem with them being fascinated with it. They can’t go back and say it was a “circus” when they were the ones that created the circus.
@@hansoloburger2322 what was the circus? The knights appeared okay with waiting for Ponga to make his mind up. The only controversy was him not letting Bennett know before the announcement. After what Bennett did to the knights, I have no sympathy for him.
@@nswblues3146 the circus of the ring leader pongas dad he wanted to be assistant coach then they had to give a role of talent scout the whole all blacks clause the deadline coming an going the meeting with Bennett they’re literally doing there job they’re reporting what’s happening. I don’t understand how you can say they created the circus because they reported the events. Sure they added to it by making it public knowledge but if it wasn’t the circus show it was they would’ve talked about it so much
Most over rated FB in comp = Ponga Most under rated FB = Edwards According to the media Edwards is on about 500k less than half the money Ponga is on. Panthers are top of the table while Knights are down near the bottom-now tell me which club has the better deal and obviously more common sense. Ponga is at best a 800K player but given his form over last couple of seasons even that would be "overs". Kent is obviously correct about the Tupou tackle what the other clown is on about is a mystery.
Edwards is a solid player, dependable and reliable in a top team. He is not a creator, not a lot of pace and doesn't create but Penrith don't need a player like that.
@@damianperera2690 Like I said most under rated FB (likely most under rated player) in the comp and you post just proved it yet again. Most folk have no idea the value Edwards is to Panthers nor how good his play really is.
@@dropbearz4014 No I just have some common sense and like to keep things in reality not the hyped up rhetoric which many fall into. Hell another under rated FB is Kennedy at Sharks who is producing far better performances week after week than Ponga and likely he is also on half the money of the untouchable "super star" Ponga. Sharkies are headed in right direction while after 4 years of the Ponga hype Knights are heading the wrong way.
Hope kent doesnt get his way then games will be decided by sin bins even more. To be consistent it was a sin bin but one i cant live with not being a sin bin.
Don't think anybody here understands what a spectrum is. he has to either be 100% innocent or 100% guilty and be sent off with an automatic 6 week ban. Don't confuse them with nuance.
Fark that's as Maori a contract negotiation as you can get; " sweet, I want 1.2 million and I want you fullas to give my old man a job too." Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Mean Kalyn brother!!!
1 week ago these muppets were slamming the Knights for not giving Ponga what he wanted now they are slamming them for giving him what he wanted. Meanwhile the majority of Knights fans were happy to see him goto redcliffe.
I think it’s fair to say the knights team in rounds 1 and 2 is dead this is obviously not the same team Clifford and Clune are clueless has halves and No threat from dummy half as well and Ponga is underperforming like there is no tomorrow.
Kalyan is a professional adult who needs to leave his daddy at home during business discussions. As a pro there are industry representatives who are expert in handling these his business deals. Dad has done his job admirably up till now, and it’s time to let his son off the leash.

That's happened if you don't pay your players. 5 millions dollars deal with Ponga, can't save the game, feel for the the rest of the players at least pay raise money talk brah!!! $$$$$
Yupou got his karma, lost them the game after missing that 40:20,high tackle or not, I’d be hiding under a box for a week just for letting that ball go out
He had 30 meters to make a decision on where to tackle him. And he chose the head. He did that deliberately because Rava would have steam rolled him. Simple explanation. Sin bin minimum.
@@reggiep8136 I believe your forgetting the type of player Daniel is steam rolled?

Ponga's not really good enough to generate this kind of circus to be honest. Certainly not in the top 3 in his position in the comp and arguably not even in the top 5.
The Tupou tackle is bad, but what’s worse is Woods getting into his face after. You don’t need to react to it, NRL players are not the positive characters they are hyped to be.
Unbelievable. You can still have a good game without attacking the head. The head area is a serious area to get whacked at that speed why not make sure the game is safe, for the players sake. Whats going soft got to do with it? We want to see a good game of league not ufc. Lets be real, some sides more than get away with dirty tactics melb, penrith and Sydney, dirty players get away with everything.
I’m a rooster fan I agree he should’ve been sent off but tupou is far from a dog/grub player. Also roosters get penalised more then most teams so the whole “protected species” point is just stupid.
pongas overrated and knights have wasted their money and pissed away their next 5 years. people whinging about the tupou hit when it is 100% correct 1 week, his first incident in the judiciary in his career simple as that, if he was a repeat offender then obviously he'd get more. last week or the last 2 weeks there were no or few sin bins for multiple high shots now in whinging about he should've been binned dragons should've had 2 in the first half for profesional fouls and multiple ruck infringements in quick succession along with the multiple high shots dragons put on too. the ref didnt do anything all game and let multiple things go.
Paul Kent you are nothing but a stooge, you have been an always were a roosters basher, Cleary's tackle last week was a premeditated ugly lucky to not break his ankle tackle, yet you hardly said a word. What is it that the roosters have almost $6000000 in Jersey sponsorship, which by the way the nearest club is only 3.7million, the average club, 1to1-5million. In the 2019 grand final against Canberra you went on like a good sort, I didn't hear you say anything about the sin bin which was a farce, not to mention, the metal that was supposed to go to Jared warera Hargraves, voted 2 to1,. No there was nothing in the paper the next day about that, why because you didn't suit your narrative,. Last year Boyd Cordner and Jake friend retired after round 7, our to club captains, team captains, Just as important to us, as Cameron Smith or Billy Slater , or Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater, no nothing was published in the newspaper reference how important they were, Paul Kent as a journalist I like you I've been following you since you started, unfortunately you like many Australians have the tall Poppy syndrome, the eastern suburbs latte set, the glamour club,. Which by the way if you do your homework and more ground records, and away average then any other clubs. Example not including good Friday, Anzac Day or semi final,, Manly,. 1978 SCG, 50. 789. By the way was only broken 100 years later when Souths v East 2013 for minor premiership, 60.000.... Parramatta 1978. ,32 804, Brisbane 1996 Monday night football 35.000 , Manly Monday night football two weeks later,38 000, Cronulla 3 Weeks later 25000. 2013 opening match against Souths, 37 .000 , Penrith 26000 , 2004, the same year we broke their ground record, 24670, broken 3 Weeks later by 30 people against Parramatta Canterbury 27000,, at their home ground 37800, since 2013 with a second biggest crowd at Newcastle average 23000, cowboys second biggest away crowd average, it goes on and on, In 2013 we average 19702 our home games , yet we were harass by the media, What is it MR Kent, can't see the forest through the trees, or are you just as woke as the left,. Next time you go past the mirror, have a good look, thank you 🕶️🐀📝?????????...

Cooper Cronk did a press conference for an extention in 2012. Do your research
kent just loves to hate
Tupou's arm is already at 'head height' a metre before making contact. 100% Reeeeeeckless.
You laugh about him having a press conference, and yet you all were complaining you didn't get the exclusive (except braith)
Ponga and Clifford what a joke, should have tried to sign Munster give him 2M a year and build a young players around him.
Ponga doesn’t have the self awareness to realise (or care) if he piss’s off all his team mates. He will probably sit on the fat contract and turn in average performances for the next 5 years. Knights should have let him go.

It's funny how Kent calls that reckless but the Mitch Barnett elbow to a player off the ball is careless.
Kenty is a flog. I mean look at the creep barking like a rabid dog. Put him on sideline duties with Hooper where they belong!
Whatever it is just make them consistent and not dependent on which player it is.

His dad is a tosser. The club has bended over backwards by giving him and his wife jobs to make them happy. Held the club hostage

Why are we still debating these tackles. Like to hear Craig Greenhill's opinion on Tupou staying on the field.

Ramsey didn’t even play. Shows how much you know about the situation.
Lol must be a Roosters fan
@@reggiep8136 oh, I’m sorry I didn’t say Woods at first. Seems like you need the facts straight away.
A fullback will never win a grand final for any team any day...
Ponga is a great player but he is a stone around the neck of Newcastle.
He's a good player, NOT a great player...
glad pongas committed to Australia and they've built him up. He wouldn't get fark all from NZ. Hes good, but aint great lol
Ponga is a joke he’s another ash Taylor given to much money to early
Not worth the money ... Newcastle will never win the competition with that roster
Murdoch grubs at it again.
NRL missing game breaking play makers all got no experience
Ponga needs to get off the coke
Unbelievable. You can still have a good game without attacking the head. The head area is a serious area to get whacked at that speed why not make sure the game is safe, for the players sake. Whats going soft got to do with it? We want to see a good game of league not ufc. Lets be real, some sides more than get away with dirty tactics melb, penrith and Sydney, dirty players get away with everything.
I’m a rooster fan I agree he should’ve been sent off but tupou is far from a dog/grub player.
Also roosters get penalised more then most teams so the whole “protected species” point is just stupid.
pongas overrated and knights have wasted their money and pissed away their next 5 years.
people whinging about the tupou hit when it is 100% correct 1 week, his first incident in the judiciary in his career simple as that, if he was a repeat offender then obviously he'd get more. last week or the last 2 weeks there were no or few sin bins for multiple high shots now in whinging about he should've been binned dragons should've had 2 in the first half for profesional fouls and multiple ruck infringements in quick succession along with the multiple high shots dragons put on too. the ref didnt do anything all game and let multiple things go.
you're delusional
GO KNIGHTS another premiers coming up😀😀😀😀 won two games a thought use were going to win the premiership yours are a joke
Paul Kent you are nothing but a stooge, you have been an always were a roosters basher,
Cleary's tackle last week was a premeditated ugly lucky to not break his ankle tackle, yet you hardly said a word.
What is it that the roosters have almost $6000000 in Jersey sponsorship, which by the way the nearest club is only 3.7million, the average club, 1to1-5million.
In the 2019 grand final against Canberra you went on like a good sort, I didn't hear you say anything about the sin bin which was a farce, not to mention, the metal that was supposed to go to Jared warera Hargraves, voted 2 to1,.
No there was nothing in the paper the next day about that, why because you didn't suit your narrative,.
Last year Boyd Cordner and Jake friend retired after round 7, our to club captains, team captains,
Just as important to us, as
Cameron Smith or Billy Slater , or Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater, no nothing was published in the newspaper reference how important they were, Paul Kent as a journalist I like you I've been following you since you started, unfortunately you like many Australians have the tall Poppy syndrome, the eastern suburbs latte set, the glamour club,.
Which by the way if you do your homework and more ground records, and away average then any other clubs.
Example not including good Friday, Anzac Day or semi final,, Manly,. 1978 SCG, 50. 789. By the way was only broken 100 years later when Souths v East 2013 for minor premiership, 60.000.... Parramatta 1978. ,32 804, Brisbane 1996 Monday night football 35.000 , Manly Monday night football two weeks later,38 000, Cronulla 3 Weeks later 25000.
2013 opening match against Souths, 37 .000 , Penrith 26000 , 2004, the same year we broke their ground record, 24670, broken 3 Weeks later by 30 people against Parramatta
Canterbury 27000,, at their home ground 37800, since 2013 with a second biggest crowd at Newcastle average 23000, cowboys second biggest away crowd average, it goes on and on,
In 2013 we average 19702 our home games , yet we were harass by the media,
What is it MR Kent, can't see the forest through the trees, or are you just as woke as the left,.
Next time you go past the mirror, have a good look, thank you 🕶️🐀📝?????????...
If that tackle was latrell he gets 4 weeks
