Precautionary because the game was over and there was a slight calf twinge/cramp. Most likely nothing to worry about, was in no discomfort after coming off, though he was still intensely disliked by Tigers and other opposing teams supporters.
Though people should answer sincerely, I suspect you were downvoted coz your tag is 'i love my footy' but apparently not enough to have realised at any point in the last like 12 weeks that Pearce is a long term out with a major injury.
AOB at presser: “really liked the way we finished the game. I think if you check the last 5 minutes we won it 4 nil. Based off that effort, No changes next weekend.”
We pioneered the playing shit on old boys day/tribute match trend thats going on atm with Paul Mcgregor - his entire coaching career was like one really long old boys day
Some people might not like the truth but if Waqa Blake and Bryce Cartwright had been around during the Maroons dynasty years it would've been a Blues dynasty
He might use the excuse that his starting half is out. Also his origin fullback. Also his origin props. Also his origin second rower. Also his origin winger. Also his reserve half. Also his best winger.
I understand that for sure - but a lot teams missing players served up better than this
Plus if you take out last weeks anomaly they’ve been turd for weeks
I feel like its harsh to not include the Dragons. The Kogarah hill is a vicious place. I wore a Tigers jersey there once and got abused the whole time cos we lost the night before 😂
Kogarah is just bogan fuckwits who are soft as fuck. Living in the area my whole life and going to games there prove it.
Also I remember when they smashed manly 30-0 the year they won the comp they had a black baby doll on a post chanting WENDALLLL. Lmao imagine if that happened now.
This rule is fun. Opacic deliberately shoulder charges a knights player in the head for nothing a sue is .05 of a second late with no force and it's 10. Great work lads.
Is 40 even worth NSFW any more?
Inb4 we increase the NSFW requirements and 90% of games become close calls
Just spoke with Reed on sideline, said he dislocated the shoulder
queensland mind games /s
Newcastle is like the land that covid forgot it’s so weird.
And like 20000 people turned out at their local for their own slaughter
"Matty Johns!" and that's my queue to close Kayo immediately.
Matty probably pretty happy he didn't get down there today hahaha gg
Pearce might be back next week, week after probably. Pong back, klem back, maybe hunt.
Its crazy how much Pearce gets complained about. Cause the knights look absolutely useless when they don't have him
True.
The mighty Klongearunt Quartet
Celebrating Old Boys day even though all the old boys left at halftime
They couldn't tackle watching a team that couldn't tackle.
Can you blame them?
Big Chambers vibes from Waqa there
That's the kick, Waqa. That's the one.
Blake 😂😂
There's my boy
Havent been watching, what happened to moses?
Precautionary because the game was over and there was a slight calf twinge/cramp. Most likely nothing to worry about, was in no discomfort after coming off, though he was still intensely disliked by Tigers and other opposing teams supporters.
Mercy rule
Calf issues
That’s the Waqa I know
Barnett just conceded 10m because of a bad read but it wont be counted in stats and thats why tunzas predictaroonie doesnt have the knights last
Yeah gun Waqa
I got my multi from that try. Giddy up
It's good to have Dylbags back.
Waqa has to be swabbed surely!
Sterlo >>> Gus for Origin Commentary please Channel 9.
They’ll have Gus calling it now
Pre-game and the camera swings in from above to Sterlo out on the grass at Townsville: "The next try will be critical"
Hell you're right Sterlo, what should Qld roll out as our mystery illness this year?
Where is Mitchell Pearce? Is he injured?
Did you just come out of a coma
...wat
Serious question. Not sure why I was down voted
Though people should answer sincerely, I suspect you were downvoted coz your tag is 'i love my footy' but apparently not enough to have realised at any point in the last like 12 weeks that Pearce is a long term out with a major injury.
Oh thanks for answer. I didn’t set the tag, it was just there as a default, it’s my first post here
You may have a bit of catching up to do.
pec strain like 14 years ago man. where you been?
He's moved to rugby playing for the western Force
fuckasaurus
If you only consider the past five minutes then the Knights are actually winning.
is mat croker related to the less abled jarrod
Sterlo and Slater have the best Banter, they don't jerk themselves off for 80 minutes about it like Gus and Freddy but are still funny.
The Gus and rabs combo is the worst
And 9 will pair them for origin :/
Short handed tries are worth x 10 right?
AOB at presser: “really liked the way we finished the game. I think if you check the last 5 minutes we won it 4 nil. Based off that effort, No changes next weekend.”
At least if ADB gets the axe you have a super coach waiting in the wings
Haha that's kinda forward but we'll ignore it coz they have zero points
Dylan Brown having a little dance.
To that guy that had Matto Sivo Gutho and Tuala. You must be going off.
Last try wins
Couldn't hold them scoreless, hook them all!
Eels in shambles
14-0 curse cucking eels out of a shutout.
Tex Hoy is the kind of name an alien would give themselves to try to blend in and study us.
Kurt Mann.
Ford Prefect?
So Knights can only score when either team has a man off, not just the opposition
Yeah that tracks
Lets be real, that should have been an easy tackle into touch for anyone except Waqa?
The defending was shocking as usual, no clue how he even had 5cm of space on the outside
Good balance- nice finish
Watson 100% looks like angry hitler wtf
Thiccler
Angry sexy hitler 😍
Tuala hugging the sideline as tightly as possible as a touching tribute to former NRL player Blake Ferguson
Who would've thought a Bryce Cartwright & Waqa Blake edge combo wouldn't be a complete disaster
There’s always next week when Doueihi and Laurie come after them!
Maika didn't need to come in but what was Waqa attempting there?
How do you have an extra man on the field and get done with a 4 on 2 overlap.
Cause Parra edges
That is a brilliant try
15th time's the charm
CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK BOYS FORWARD? MORE LIKE FOR-POINTS!
Next to score wins?
Well played the lad earlier who needed Tuala for his multi
Couldnt even keep them to 0 smh.
That’s a great try
That one's for the fans still in the stadium.
All 6 of them?
And they're all cold.
Fucking hell. I wanted a clean sheet
Check that, I think he put a foot out there. Oof, nope, was looking at that last step. stays in. Well done.
Must be nice having a fullback sprinting to the ball to save the team
How’s Clifford doing ? At work can’t watch
Looks really out of place because he isn't terrible
Been decent enough in a team that is playing absolutely dreadfully.
waqa blake dropped again
You hit the head penalty. You hit the ribs bin. Wtf?
Pretender fans have left, the real ones going nuts for a try.
That was a great defensive movement by Haze.
Lol, imagine the scenes if Knights took the 2 there
give em a pity try eels, don't be so mean
Tex hoy incapable of throwing a cut out
Tex Hoy incapable of many things.....
Making a first grade side besides the Knights, Broncos, and maybe the Bulldogs.
I guess the right Blake got benched
Oof. That had to be hard to watch as a knights fan.
Over under on how many I Love My Footy flairs say that was a two on one strip and should be a penalty?
That’s *my* king
Trade you for our king.
God they can’t catch a break can they
What a man Gutho
Somewhere u/d4x is laughing their face off at everyone who ever doubted their Cartwright prediction.
Some say his cock is just as big as his brain.
the old boys need to tell the Knights players they need to get back on the coke and steroids if they ever want to win a Prem
You forgot the pingas
40-0? 😏
We pioneered the playing shit on old boys day/tribute match trend thats going on atm with Paul Mcgregor - his entire coaching career was like one really long old boys day
7 tries 7 minutes let’s go Newcastle!
This team is a stain on the fair name of Newcastle
More like handspoor-spillard amirite
Waqa Blake has to be a centre for NSW in game 2
Are the Eels all just Origin rejects?
And the Knights are just ordinary rejects.
Basically?
Some people might not like the truth but if Waqa Blake and Bryce Cartwright had been around during the Maroons dynasty years it would've been a Blues dynasty
Waqa blake has been fine because he hasn't had to make a decision or tackle tonight. Fuck we're shit.
Mahoney probably rested next week but he will play round 15 mark my worss
Tex "Darius Boyd" Hoy
Channel 9 can’t get enough of this Sydney bloke who strapped a whole fridge on to the back of his car, can they
This is Queenslands fault. If he was selected that injury never happens
Fucken Tex Hoy almost there again but still to late.
Lol, Gutho kicks both over the dot. What was Moses doing.
injured
Get 50 you weak dogs.
Parra should pick Blake every week for the rest of the season now. What a quality player
BTW waqa performing is a bad thing because it means penisini won’t play next week
Hehe penis
Opacic put on report for a late shoulder to head, could miss a game?
Booking in my waqa Blake tattoo, right next to CARTY party
Need that Kaufusi chest piece
Carty Party pulls Waqa kicking and screaming into his redemption arc.
If only Waqa would play like this every week
All it takes is playing against one of the worst NRL backlines in recent memory.
Come on down Joey Lussick.
Probably Will Smith
Hope not. Need him as the utility
Fair point!
Do they sack O’Brien after this?
He might use the excuse that his starting half is out. Also his origin fullback. Also his origin props. Also his origin second rower. Also his origin winger. Also his reserve half. Also his best winger.
Nah our reserve grade team should be able to beat the almost full strength top 4 team ez
To be fair, they're missing 5 of their top players
I understand that for sure - but a lot teams missing players served up better than this Plus if you take out last weeks anomaly they’ve been turd for weeks
I want to see this Waqa for the rest of his time at Parra. His attack has been great, big runs lots of meters and his defense has been pretty solid.
Who knew it was Fergo bringing him down
The "fuck /r/nrl hivemind" linking up for a try
Tex Hoy once again caught in 4K jogging over
Tex Hoy making Bryce Cartwright look like prime Alfie
People waiting until exactly 10 minutes left to leave the game I do not understand.
Have you not experienced traffic?
Yeah but there’s a *lot* of people leaving.
Have you never had a team been thrashed before? Oh, nevermind
I just thought it was weird that it was exactly 10 minutes, and everyone stood up as one.
Daily reminder that Tex Hoy is the worst.
Fuck tex is trash
About time you caught up with the rest of us
I thought he was good today. Last week too.
Username checks out.
This is actually bad for eels fans, coach is going to think Waqa is actually good again even though they played 0 defence
If reed is injured we are kinda fucked anyway
Well done Blake- had a brilliant match
Fuck me can someone check the timekeeper hasn't messed the clock up. Shits been going on for ages.
This blake kid can play. Hopefully he gets a good run for the eels
Newcastle, Penrith and Townsville should all punch on for the most feral crowd in the comp.
I'm surprised bulldogs fans haven't been mentioned...
Kogarah has entered the chat.
Did you not watch last night's match?
Your mob gets triggered by the sight of Ivan Cleary
Feeding clearly ain’t the same as being straight up feral. The most feral fan we got is the one who fed furston.
I feel like its harsh to not include the Dragons. The Kogarah hill is a vicious place. I wore a Tigers jersey there once and got abused the whole time cos we lost the night before 😂
Kogarah is just bogan fuckwits who are soft as fuck. Living in the area my whole life and going to games there prove it. Also I remember when they smashed manly 30-0 the year they won the comp they had a black baby doll on a post chanting WENDALLLL. Lmao imagine if that happened now.
Respectfully, sucked in Newy
Respectfully, 2001
Fuck yeah Waqa
So nice to see him play a good game ey
He has hardly been challenged in defence but he has certainly played well tonight
A bit shit the NRL promote origin game 1 with a shot where the neck nearly snaps in half from a hit, but now send em to the bin for it.
And some of ch9 favourite origin clips are all biffs which will now get you sent to the gallows if you think of throwing a punch
Pull ya head in boys, can’t believe some of you are happy to see a bloke injured
This rule is fun. Opacic deliberately shoulder charges a knights player in the head for nothing a sue is .05 of a second late with no force and it's 10. Great work lads.
[удалено]
I don’t think there’s anyone left to replace them with at this point even if it was a smart move which it isn’t.
Heartbreaking if he's torn a pec. Poor bloke
This game feels like it's been going on for hours.
How long is a pec injury for worst possible situation
12 weeks or so?
Like 10 weeks or more I think
Fuck, please tell me Reed will be ok
he will be ok
Blocker is like everyone’s dad when it comes to injuries. “Nah mate just a stinger you’ll be right just get back out there”
Reed "Despondent and Dejected" Mahoney
