[00:00:00] Choches! Choches!
[00:00:02] Goodness! Goodness!
[00:00:08] The Fina drives the crack, he's way over me, guys!
[00:00:12] The Fina drop the ball over the line!
[00:00:14] And to all you people back in the Shire,
[00:00:17] tell you what slights off, come to a cabernet with a trophy! to realise that a lot of our star players did not play. The majority of these players probably won't play first grade and the ones that definitely will were fine, the ones that might were probably less than fine and the few guys that you think about for the future actually were pretty good.
[00:01:40] So there's, as I said, some pros and cons in this performance.
[00:01:44] Extreme heat on the central coast, but Street and Dikes also could not help out there. Sam Stone Street then saves a try and then drops the ball. Very mixed game for him.
[00:03:04] 27th minute Dylan Lucas who's a really talented player for the Knights down the middle
[00:04:07] In the 53rd minute we had a try down our left hand side through Iro and through Rodwell. Knights lead 28-12, 54th minute they score again down our left from a kick with Iro coming
[00:04:14] out of the line.
[00:04:15] We are a man short it has to be pointed out.
[00:04:17] 58th minute Harotti with a miss as well as Vaela and they score 40 points to 12 it's
[00:04:24] blowing out. As far as team stats go, they had 58% possession compared to our 42. We completed 23 of 35, which is around 65%. They completed at 73%. They made 6 lone breaks to 3. They had 12 offload to our 6. They ran for about 400 more metres.
[00:05:40] They missed 10 tackles. Sam Stone Street was
[00:07:02] busy early on but very hit and miss and a taken. I think that Peru out of the spine today really needs some more New South Wales Cup time and just in general his timing was a bit off but again first game I'm not going to hang the guy out to dry. Tall Tom Hazleton looked pretty
[00:08:23] good couple of misses here or there he had the fitness. I'd imagine he's a shoe in for round one NRL. Cam McInnis was busy when he was out there. He was bleeding. I personally wouldn't have played him in this game, but that's just me. Hopefully he's fine as far as any injury or health goes.
[00:09:41] From then on we're moving down through the squad. Probably him, I mean he might need a bit more time in his South Wales Cup but I definitely think this kid has a big future. Liam Eissen made his debut for the Sharks, Bradbury had a hit up, Rogboil had a very unhappy game I thought. He tried hard but just one of those games that he would probably wish he could start over again and that's just the way it goes.
[00:11:00] There are games like this where you're on national TV and you have an unhappy game.
[00:11:05] He's got to try, so happy for him for that. Cam
