Knights v Bulldogs: Bradman out; Thompson makes it back​

The Knights' five-game winning streak has carried them into the top eight and brought their finals hopes well and truly to life as they head into a must-win match against the Bulldogs.

The Knights came from behind to get the job done against the Dolphins in Perth and while coach Adam O'Brien knows his side wasn't at their best on Saturday, he took heart from their ability to orchestrate a gutsy second-half comeback.

I can't seem to copy and paste properly from the NRL site.. I copy from the front end but it gives me the back end text.. so rather than players name and number, it pasts as something along the lines of, "Fullback for Knights is number 1Kalyn Ponga1" and so forth. What's your method @spiritofaslan ?

Wasn't a good game... unfortunately it is evident the guys have shut up shop for the year.. might get a win against the Titans but ehh.. hopefully a better year in 2024

We live in hope year after year. but after seeing the NSW cup get demolished the same way I somehow wonder. and after listening to yet another replay of the press conference and the usual bchit get served up as excuses . We didnt play to our strengths, we gave away too many penalties , we didnt hold the balls in possesssion , we dont know how to back up the ball and throw the ball around, we knock on too much, we can't get out of our half often enough and when we get close to the other teams line we have no idea what to do to actually score and when asked what did he think of the sin bins Ciraldo merely said he didnt see the incidents close enough, well that says it all doesnt he bother even watching the game now. Every week the same excuse like "we trained pretty well". Big deal did anything actually stick in their brains.. Apparently not and to even justify their games as giving up for the season.. well what a pathetic attitude if they have . Will they all say at the beginning of next year well we are giving up cos we all know we play dumb football. Players should be standing up now and showing what they have or face park football in the not too distant future. They are all being overpaid and underperforming and that includes the so called elite players in the team. It appears that when you sign up with the dogs in recent times you are going to the retirement home , still get paid heaps but do nothing to remember the good form they once had under other teams. It is pathetic.!
Over the years teams like the Broncos and the Roosters have been at the bottom of the comp yet bounce back the next year to show what they can actually do . What century are the dogs going to show that sort of attitude one wonders.

I wonder how long we will persist with Burton in the halves.. I just am not seeing him play with that same win at all costs attitude you get from him when he plays at centre.

I think our board are doing good things in many ways, particularly off the field, but there has to be questions asked about the culture of the club, and the standards given the way our team has played defensively in particular this season.
