Barrett you’re a champion, about time we have someone calling the refs out.

It is hard to cop when there was no difference between the two teams and then on the back of a mountain of possession the Knights were able to get us on fatigue and next thing it's a blow out..

What really annoys me as well is that just about all of their 6 agains were around the mid field area and at the back end of sets..

I would love to hear how Cummins thinks the Knights were perfect in the ruck for 68 minutes, and then all of a sudden we saw a swing and us getting a dodgy square up

The club have to go hard on the refs boss early so that it's not another season of bs against us. I'm so fkn pissed man wait all off season for a game and then cop that

Will always cop this we just have to be more verbal until it stops.

From what I saw of the game on and off, it was a "set restart" fest, followed by stupid penalties, and key dropped balls which hurt us.

Just saw the highlights we looked soft. but hearing the game was over reffed and we only got 6 again in the last 10 minutes.

It was fair even till the run of 6 against went their way.. think they got like 5 or so in the back end of the first half. Hetherington looks like he will be our leader but he needs help from the other forwards

My evaluation of the Dogs first game. Put Cotric back where he belongs on the wing he was lost in the centres. Hopoate is getting slower each year in the centres and we still have no decent hooker. Halves pairing will only improve with more game time . Forwards were disappointing and got bashed up by the young Knights forwards. Best player was our winger who scored both tries. he was a refreshing player among a heap of disappointments. sure we were penalised heavily but that is always going to happen with our team . We know the referees will always side with the other team we have to get used of that biased and live with it. Oh and everytime we got down into knights territory we again seemed lost as to what to do with the ball.

Hope he does to Cummins and Co what brown did to him!
