Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3595778, member: 1899"] I can't remember the last time Ponga played so poorly either. Even his best run on the night backfired on the team and led directly to points for the Raiders. There were a few errors through out but the two that come to mind: The first was the cold drop inside the opening five minutes. The Knights were winning the early exchanges and an early try would have set the crowd alight. Instead Ponga had a poor grip of the football and it just brought the Raiders right back into it. The second was right after half-time where Pearce-Paul created the overlap out-wide and Ponga snatched at the offload, spilling it. If he takes it, the Knights likely score and hit an early lead. Instead the Raiders receive back to back penalties and score an incredibly soft try to give themselves a strong lead. Two costly errors that really turned the game. One player who I thought was sorely missed was Mat Croker. He typically fills that link role and provides the Knights with some mobility through the middle. His absense saw Crossland stay on the field and between him, Cogger, Hastings etc. the Knights just had too many weak-links. I'm not sure what the story is, he didn't play NSW Cup either and nothing is turning up after a search. [/QUOTE]
