Knights are badly missing Dom Young, Kurt Mann, and Lachlan Fitzgibbon. Apart from the Dogs and Canberra games they haven't been playing that badly, theyve just been missing the cohesion and confidence they had last year.
You look at the run last year though, it was against all the crap sides. Dogs x2, Tigers, Storm, Raiders x2, Dolphins, Rabbits, Sharks, Dragons, only solid win you can give them is the Storm, most overhyped run of all time.
@@floodwaters8887 there's a reason 10 game winning streak is that rare moron. Because it's hard. Why leave out the fact that they looked completely dominant in most of those games?
@@jackobrien1026not saying he’s better than Cleary but Cleary is in a stacked team mate, all his key spine positions have been locked down for sometime now. KP has had multiple half combos this year let alone career, different hookers every week and a hit and miss forward pack. Newy have to pay overs to keep him, if they don’t they probably win the spoon
@@jackobrien1026pongas the third best player in the game behind haas and Cleary knights had to pay him that to keep him other teams would pay him for over 1 million
Kenty, amazingly, hit the nail on the head saying they need to play tough and compete on everything. The dogs wrote the book on that. Not a fan of either but credit where it's due.
Even though he rubs some the wrong way, Hastings has the expéience to steer the whole team around, & with Brailey as a backup, they can still be competitive. They have a few good young players who will have a go.
Hayne's 09' and 14' seasons will forever be the definition of " BACKPACK " By the way he literally CARRIED us those 2 seasons. Throughout he got a little help but yeah those 2 season especially were when he started to get BACK PAINS AND SORE SHOULDERS. The greatest fullback to "NOT" win a premiership but everything else lol.

@@IronMan-raho LOL, I knew something like this was coming. Love him as a footy player I couldn't give a f**k what he does outside footy, Ain't my place to judge anyone or indulge into the bullshit antics they do, But entertain yourself somehow i guess bro.
Wheres the back- ups. Stupid coaching without half decent replacements i mean sure Ponga is Superstar and cannot be replace, especially at Knights. See ya next year Knights 2025. NRL need club relegations so talent will be more abundant. Give smaller clubs opportunity_ thats how you grow the game 😊😊😊
Look at recent history, Panthers! They did not have one or two “star” players. They had a club development program, players came through their system to contribute to an overall structure of play. Yes, you can name individuals like Cleary but……he is the cream on top. There are more than several players in this bracket. The Storm are another example.
They haven't been playing great but they haven't been playing that bad either minus the dogs game. Missing KP though may just be the kick up the ass they need. They did manage to win a few games at the back end of last year without him
They have an alpha male forward in Leo Thomson who has been at Newcastle for a number of years - yet O'Brien hasn't been able to coach him to off load the ball - that ain't hard - that's neglect .His go forward & metres gained for the knights is just being wasted. Do your job O'Brien & encourage/allow Thomson to be the top liner he is capable of.
Would have fathered to miss ponga for a game or two because of his hip but now because the coaches and honestly anyone in management couldn’t say no to him he’s ruined his season bloody idiots weren’t thinking about anything at all
Knights have had horrible roster management for years. They have b tier players. They dont actually recruit aggressively. The current bunch dont cut the mustard.
The Knights are gone ..Gamble Hastings are a massive problem Cup standard.. ridiculous decision to play Ponga ..he is there only shot at success why risk it
I think most of the Newcastle knights men team should identify as girlie poos and play for the girls team. There is a slim chance of making the girlie four.
Kent has been informed stop taking over the show Braith can hardly get a word in that is his fault,also see how many players he has on his books 12 not bad and getting paid well.Knights have got problems simple as that can they fix Hmm they need jesus to sort this team out.
Did you even see last season? He's also been playing pretty well this season, the teams just lacking cohesion and badly missing a few players they had last year.
@@48Ender48 they've lacked cohesin since Tinkler left, and the joint was corpratised. Ponga has some moments, rather ordinary. They panicked to buy him for big money, now he's all they got.
@@TheNewcastleKnight Tedesco, Edwards, Walsh, Papo, Gutha, the list goes on. Even Stephen Chriton, a centre is a better fullback, than your 'also ran'. But, he's not your problem. Problem is: it's not a club, it's a private company. Owned by a corporation.
Will Pryce can dominate a game on his day. We'll see if he gets his chance. Looking at this video, no one in Aus knows he exists
Can’t wait for him to get a chance
Bro been watching his highlights, hope he tears it up
Yeah Will Pryce looks good I can’t wait to see how he goes
Is he a young fullback in their NSW team?
@@mixxxer He’s from the UK he’s Leon Pryce son who played for Bradford Bulls in the 2000s check his highlights out on RUclips
Gagai and Frizzel were missing too
if Kent's not drunk in this I'm an astronaut
Kent with the silent u
The man thinks his Jonny Cash, despite the fact cash was a raging drug addict and kenty probably hates drug addicts
He definitely loves to get on the piss and start fights 😅

Kurt Mann highly underrated. Doing very well at dogs

I am afraid the only Knights' achievement of this season would be that one win against the Storm.

Lisfranic injury sucks I didn’t get the surgery and you can’t put pressure on it when you move side to side
Gamble ball plays a lot more naturally then cogger and hastings
An gambles defence is a lot tighter
Use his 97 kg frame to dominate
"Oh it's not good enough Braith, he's supposed to be a role model."
“Somebody’s got to hold these mugs accountable”
One and half million to one player is stupidty.
Agreed. He's not in the top 5 best backs in the game but is getting paid the most 😅
Have you ever watched him play mate? He's stupid good
@@jaydenlynch5723 he's good but would you have Nathan Cleary or Adam Reynolds. Both are on less than him.

‘Amazingly’ 😂

U can't rely on 1 player that's the bottom line, I'm sure they can find a replacement and change their tactics
Except when it's Souths then you can rely and blame one player right 😂
I swear Cooper looks younger every time I see him!🤔😂
KP as a Turbo type centre would work
Ponga is such an injury prone player that he barely plays a full season for his team. Newy was stupid to pay him $$$.

He got treated wat to harshly.
@@ziggyhogan7560 he did but that’s just how it goes I guess

If a team has to worry about one player to steer them all year have to change there ways.

Newcatle are so so relied on ponga.
They dont hav decent halfs
Finished
They will not win a comp next 5 yrs
Well not with that attitude! 😝
Knights still have the talent to be competitive week to week, but they won't make finals without Ponga. Too much talent in the spines for other teams
When isn’t Ponga injured ?
What about Will Pryce - he looks the good.
Well, we won't have those annoying Qld debates now. Get well soon KP
Buzz kicked straight out of the studio when Cooper's at the table.
What? The journos always leave when the players come on. Idiot.
Johnson is cleared to play for the Dally M... 😂
They haven't been playing great but they haven't been playing that bad either minus the dogs game. Missing KP though may just be the kick up the ass they need. They did manage to win a few games at the back end of last year without him

It was over with him to..
Would have fathered to miss ponga for a game or two because of his hip but now because the coaches and honestly anyone in management couldn’t say no to him he’s ruined his season bloody idiots weren’t thinking about anything at all
Yes
They shouldn't have needled him up for a round 6 game you do that for a BIG game not a round 6 of a season 12 weeks wow
No, yes he’s amazing and their best player but they have enough talent early in the season to do well. It’ll prove the expert doubters wrong
Imagine spending $1mil on a player that’s injury prone 🤣
Hasting to 1
Gamble has to be the 6
dude you have Pryce to cover the fb position. no need to ridicule Hastings
Knights are stupid for re signing coach last year prematurely. Knights to reliant on Kalyn,
Golden dead spoon waiting for them
lol bunnies and titans will be fighting for that one
Clubs need to start producing players, Bulldogs team is filled with players developed from other clubs
Anyone here after the Knights somehow fluked it to eighth and play finals this weekend.
Knights have had horrible roster management for years. They have b tier players. They dont actually recruit aggressively. The current bunch dont cut the mustard.
The Knights are gone ..Gamble Hastings are a massive problem Cup standard.. ridiculous decision to play Ponga ..he is there only shot at success why risk it
Parra and Newcastle have no depth as soon as they lose a player they don’t have a decent replacement
Ponga injured again...what a surprise 😒.
When's he gonna get his salary decreased because he is injury prone
Will Pryce!!
That’s an easy one! Nobody!
It was season over anyhow, the spine is horrible bar Ponga, Brailey shouldn't be playing 1st Grade, blokes crap and the halves is a mess.
I think most of the Newcastle knights men team should identify as girlie poos and play for the girls team. There is a slim chance of making the girlie four.
Ponga is the poor man's Cleary , so overrated ,maybe now Newcastle can find an alternative that works
Kent has been informed stop taking over the show Braith can hardly get a word in that is his fault,also see how many players he has on his books 12 not bad and getting paid well.Knights have got problems simple as that can they fix Hmm they need jesus to sort this team out.
Coach shd never have let him play.....very poor leadership
Goodness will pryce are you guys blind, put will pryce and see him go to work🤦🤦🤦
Absolutely no one
Hastings at lock could spark something with gamble at 7 and cogger at 6. Gotta try something.
Ponga never goes close to completing a half to full season, overrated and not worth the money his on
Golf ⛳ my A ! Oh my day's, they play golf for 💰 getting away from footy to relax - refresh the mind. Wat a stooge! 😂
Well.. duh
Knights gone.
One man team, so yes.
Braith one player cant win a premiership yeah right penrith lose that premiership with cleary if hes not the half at penrith 3 peat doesnt happen
I said it ages ago
Hastings been to more clubs than the deltones and doesn’t produce anything but mediocre dogshit
They better off without him
he's over rated.
