What did you think would happen?

Last year our attack was stifled with JA

in the Penrith trial we scored 5 tries in 30 min with MM and DB then JA replaces DB and we score 1try in 50 minutes

We have never been scoreless in the first half all year and now with numerous repeat sets in hot conditions we can't score.

wake up

JA is not first grade quality. There was no mistakes it is just that JA cannot create tries he is too slow and predictable. 

DB should never have been moved to centre 

Nothing justifies putting JA in and moving DB to centre

I don't care how bad our centre defence would have been with Carty or any other centre option. It would have been better than this

    • Knights played like a reserve grade side.

      we will not score any tries against a good side with JA in the halves - or very rarely

  • We actually went tryless for 50 mins against the Gold Coast in round 1 lol. 

    • We scored 5 tries in the first half against the Titans and none when JA came on

    • That was the 50 minutes JA was on for 

      5 tries in 30 minutes with MM and DB halves

      and NONE with JA as half

      its bloody obvious 

      No other coach or sane person would have JA as their first grade half

  • F### Jake Off right now. The kid is shit and killed our attack

  • I agree it's absurd putting Jake Arthur in this side. He's useless and it's obviously because his dad is the coach and no other reason regardless of the injury toll.

  • I knew we were in trouble when arthur threw a falcon to papalil ... gosh we have a dud coach who weakens our side for the sake of his son.... enough said.

  • I've given BA the benefit of the doubt time and time again. But with 20 mins to go 19-0 down any idiot would have replaced JA, but brown back to 5/8 and Carty to the centres. To top it off in hot conditions he doesn't even use Grieg. Absolutely awful from BA

    • And he takes off Lane who's been one of our best

    • My bad, Greig was 18th
