1. You are nervous about every game Sally May. And we end up winning anyway...usually.
2. You have every right to be nervous as Newcastle are a thoroughly decent team in 2019 .
3. Apart from playing Parramatta and Manly...there are no easy games in the NRL
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

Was it a great game, that first half was made excruciating, particularly the officiating and the handling errors.
I'll admit to defending Croft but what I'm seeing is his inability to play at the line. Every time he gets the ball he either shuffles it onto the next player or he takes the line on. The problem with him taking the line on is the defenders know he won't be passing the ball so his easy to tackle, once he starts passing at the line then he'll be a very different and dangerous player, but, does he have it in him? The kick was a beauty, well was made to look a beauty by the defender slipping over. Was it Crofts only kick?
Talking of kicks, Chambers, does he get his kicking licence back or was that just lucky? The Goats sneaky play at dummy half before toeing it ahead and being tackled without the ball, gold.
Jesse and Nelson looked like monsters on a mission today and did we have the worlds smallest bench today? The whole bench stepped up and was great to see.
As far as the Knights go, well, it was a very dirty day. Hunts dropsies over the line being symptomatic, and piss funny! And that dirty bastard putting the crusher on Hughes, that could've so easily turned out very VERY bad. The judiciary need to penalise based upon the potential not the actual harm created.
