“Went on with it after the tackle was complete”. Lol, righto. Ball came flying out while Best was still moving.

Senior players letting us down. Grant and Paps have been awful.

I assume the knights player who pushed the ref out the way to celebrate the second try gets a week, otherwise what a load.

He plays for a NSW team, so won't even get sighted!

Probably the most embarrassing half in recent memory, just fundamental errors all over the park. Warbrick needs to get dropped, as does Wishart, Pezet and Loiero, none of them are consistent enough to wear the jersey until they prove they can show up week in week out for 80 minutes.

I know we are missing a lot of good players but even our good players look poor today, Paps has been average, Grant has got nothing going on in attack out of dummy half, and both these guys needed to stand up with Hughes and Munny missing.

Forwards have been ok, rolled up their sleeves and been solid, Loiero excluded.

Really need an attitude adjustment at half time, some of the body language from Pezet and Paps at the end of the half looked like they have already given up, we might be out of this already but a better showing is all I can hope for in the second 40.

Paps playing too sideways is a legit criticism. Pez trying to do a bit too much but to me the blame goes to trying to build an attack with Loiero playing a significant role in it. Also besides Katoa no forward is really denting the line at all. Can’t win like that.

Would not go over the top on this bit effort and defence could be better

Not many would cope without their 6, 7 and pack enforcer

Hold the ball.
Stop trying to take shortcuts by running sideways.
Get in the dogfight.
Stop trying to shift so often.
It’s clearly greasy out there.

Absolute joke of a decision.

Better first set. Get in behind the ruck.

Trap their arm in. Drop the ball when they pull it out. Earn a penalty.

Vossy and Blocker upset that Newcastle don’t get a second free penalty. Knobheads.
