It's a misleading stat without context. Gamble gets early ball to Newcastle's centres, and look at their tries and TAs this year compared to ours. All it shows is that Burto is relied on as a chief playmaker, whereas Gamble does a job getting the ball to other playmakers while still having a few meat pies for himself. Don't forget: Knights are in the 8 with Gamble, while we're near the bottom again with Burto.

All it does is reinforce that Ponga is the chief playmaker and Mason's call is accurate.

Knight outside backs carry their forwards and spine but it's undisputable that Gamble has had a very good year and he's been very good value for Knight.

Very Similar to Josh Reynolds when Barba was killing it.

Gamble played 23
Hastings played 22
Burton played 23

well there ya go.

ponga = barba for us in 2012, but not as good

Well then you're just comparing the chief playmakers. I mean, it doesn't matter much. Gamble is on a fraction of either Burto or Ponga but is playing semis.

Exactly right. Stats always require context

End of the day those knights halves have guided there Team to within 2 wins from a grand final appearance. Our halves have taken us to the absolute lowest of lows

Put ponga into our team and see how well those halves guide them

Yes. But if you look deeper its really difference of forward packs that is the main reason.
I also have hammered Burton this season, but it's hilarious that Knights fans used Burton in their argument on socials not knowing he has more try assists than both their halves, all whilst majority of them call him a centre.

Was Tolman, at any point of his career, the best prop in the game?

Not even in the top 20.

Fck Gamble. Knights get pumped this week by the Wahs.

Don’t be so sure Uleh.
Knights are steamrolling. They smokie.

 

[Bad Billy]

Please. Harden up Gamble you fucken sensitive new age cûnt.
Explain how is Mase wrong?
That spine, minus Ponga, was equal with us, and 1 week away from getting the coach fired.
now Ponga’s back and they’re winning, this cûnt thinks he’s JT?

I fucking hope so, Gamble is a flog and an average footballer, they are nowhere without ponga playing like he is. up the Wahs.

 

[maroondog72]

Masons made a real goose of himself a lot lately. Needs to stfu. Hes another bad look for the club lately

And you aren't a bad look for the club, fishboy?? Gobble,Gobble.

 

[Nasheed]

I think Gamble = Josh Reynolds

 

[Bulldog wazza]

I fucking hope so, Gamble is a flog and an average footballer, they are nowhere without ponga playing like he is. up the Wahs.

40 -10 up the Wahs - Mase would be smiling

 

[maroondog72]

40 -10 up the Wahs - Mase would be smiling

Yeah nice, Gamble was rubbish too.

 

[Chris Harding]

After watching the Knights fans rejoicing when they beat us - as if they weren't playing the side with the worst defence in the comp - it was heartwarming to see them towelled up by conceding 40 points to the Warriors .

Would have been worse for them if their try off a forward pass was picked up, but Knights and Raiders are allowed to throw forward passes.
