You will win comfortably against a side that is terrible.

 

[Jatz]

Oh we should but in my 25 years following the Knights, I'd be amazed if that's how it eventuates.

Hughes with the lovely AFL goal ump celebration, haha

What a leap by Coates!

Thought the game was on a knife's edge at half-time, but we've pulled away nicely in the second half.

Put these campaigners on a stretcher

5th place and one of the best F & A I've seen in a long time. Really well placed for a charge at the top 4.

Especially with the games to come should finish top 4, could finish top 2

I'm excited. Only saw bits and pieces today, but very good.

Not sure how much I read into today as Cronulla are the biggest pretenders around. You guys did exactly what I expected you to do.

It didn't look good, I'd expect two or three weeks for that.

Take it and run if it’s only 2. How on earth wasn’t that a send off the ref was hopeless. Sivo shouldn’t have been binned, RCG should have been sent off.

I would have been a little upset if he was sent off, not because it wasn't worthy but because they generally don't give players their marching orders unless it's a real shocker, and I have seen worse this season that hasn't resulted in a send off.

I agree about Sivo, it looked like a good tackle from front on, but a little worse from behind. His initial contact has around the chest, but his shoulder got him square on the jaw, the fact that the Titans players didn't go off on a HIA suggests it wasn't a big hit.

A deliberate knee to a bloke on the ground is pretty bad. That’s a send off offence to be honest. The Sivo one was weird think it’s just a nice strong hit and I really wish every head contact wasn’t a bin.

Very impressive from start to finish. Great defence, and SJ running the show.

That's disgusting, needs to be 3 weeks. Prick.

Wasn’t great and he should get 3 and should have been a send off.
Be nice if the useless fat prick called the game fairly though, Titans were getting away with murder

Yep spot on if he gets 4-5 wouldn't be shocked but 3 should be a bare minimum

The absolute irony being the penalty that should've been called on the FG play for the Titans.

The ref yells they're offside and then did nothing about it.
