We really aren't the well oiled machine we once were... So many passes hitting the ground. Dropped passes. Players have no idea what lines they are supposed to be running. Looked lost in defence at times. Kicking game has been poor all year. The slowest play the balls of any team.

Lift boys!

Blake green has been an absolute ghost this season, too many passengers in this team currently.

Oh look... Another drop ball - penalty - opposition points.

What a great evolution of the game we have.

What is up with our discipline? Everytime a team gets a penalty they get points, we can't defend our mistakes which are happening way too often. This team is just not very good I fear, it's going to be a long season.

We never make teams pay, we have had enough ball to to be 2 or 3 tries clear, I cannot believe we are losing to this NSW cup standard team.

We have given chambers early ball once today, once. And we scored off it. It's not rocket science!!

Worst half I've seen from us at home in years. This knights team is a joke, the players should all be embarassed.

I'm ebarrassed by our effort and this team.

The knights are a joke of an outfit but they're better than us at halftime.

Think about that for a moment. Knights are the worst team in the Comp and we're susposedly a contender - not a chance from what we coughed up in that first half. Awful awful awful.

Cronk is well below par, Cam Smith appears Dis-interested. Heaven help us.

As good as Munster is, he is useless at being in position to stop tries. Also can we drag Blake Green. Id take anyone over him at 5/8.

We get like this when one of our big names is off contract. Every time.
It started with Kimmorley, but we have had it with Swain, Orford, Cam and Bill at different stages. The entire squad seems to lose focus. I think part of the problem is we give the players too much latitude, time to go interstate to visit family and/or check out other clubs. It unsettles everything.
Cooper needs to make up his mind. In a hurry.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Cooper's mind is obviously elsewhere, but I think it's harsh to say that Cam is disinterested. It's more that the precision we usually play with has gone out the window and he keeps having to change plan at the last second because players are out of position or go too early or too late.
Or stop in the line when they are supposed to be lead running. Yes, Jesse, I'm looking at you.

Another dropped ball from Cronk. Drop him to reserve grade until he is interested in playing footy agin. Killing me.
