The Knights put in a disgusting Old Boys day performance Even in the most bitter of lows, Old Boys day was one where the Knights would, at the very least, be competitive, as the who’s who of ex-Knights roll into Newcastle. Not this year. This year, they dropped the ball, defended without intent or commitment, and played a generally awful game of football, as the Eels rolled past them to steady their ship following a dismal fortnight. Having 40 put on you on the club’s most important day is a shocking look for the Knights, in a year which has been three steps backwards for every step forward. It’s not as if the blame could be put on one individual player, either. Sure, their management and options with the ball were shocking, and new recruit Jake Clifford will have questions asked, but the Newcastle pack looked like a deer in headlights. Adam O’Brien’s team are not a bad rugby league team, and at times, they can be gutsy or flashy in equal parts. But on Sunday, they were simply not good enough, Old Boys day or no. 2001 was 20 years ago, it's the past!! Knights are not the same club today as they were back then. Old boys day is not going to produce a win when the Knights had 7 regular players out, but even if they didn't they'd still lose. Eels played good but you could tell they were tired in the last 20 minutes only scoring 1 try. Looked like they wanted the game over once they realised they couldn't lose.

that is incredible that they lost to the Knights 20 years ago. It doesnt seem that long.
Eels are far from an 80 min team. When the going gets tough the underbelly gets soft. The final 20 minutes is usually whats sorts out the really good tems from the pretenders and under this flushing asshole the Eels are pretenders.
