Rugby league legends Mark Geyer and Paul Gallen have backed Knights coach Adam O'Brien over his criticism of fans for booing their team during Thursday's win over Manly.
The Knights and the Seags must have been. I went to bed at sixteen l I thought, well, this is half time, it's all over, and got up and the Knights once somehow, I know the coach, my best buddy, he's my new best buddy, got into a bit of trouble. I don't think you should have apologized. Personally, I feel the fast.
I feel the need to take the gloves off early days here and I'm going to say good afternoon to MG you too. Well, you two what a giant sucks. You spend a bit of time without Aim O'Brien and you can't be critical of a blake. I'm not criticizing his own support.
Of course, he's wanted to criticize their booty team.
They were going like, bastard, I don't care.
You still don't boo your team. Fair supports. You don't boo your team.
And then what the coach goes in there and says, day don't understand rugby. Like I'll tell you what they understand.
It understand.
They understand how to pay their hard earned money to go to a bitterley called McDonald Jones stat him on a Thursday night to support their.
Tea yeah, and then they shouldn't boo them. If they're real supporters, you're in for seal or.
Dare I say it? Darryl Brahman The reason they were booing them gave him a kick up the backside that saw him come back and win the Golden pointed.
Okay, here we go. Next time the Raiders come out and you run third, I'm going to boot from home.
Leave.
What's that got to do with him? We're talking about the Newcastle. Catch your your man.
He's my man because we had a thousand beers together.
He shouldn't have done it, and that's why he came out and apologies.
He came out and apologized because someone tapped him on the shard and tell him you better apologize. You know what, I think he should retract the apology. I'm darnl brain.
Why would he retract the because he's got.
A big set he doesn't need well.
I think I think you blaked and by the looks of things, four gallons on your side as well, and criticize your own supported if they're wrong. What do you reckon goal?
He had just come down, he walked, they'd been the just won one of the best games of the year at sixteen at half time, I was eating Brayman's undies again, like absolutely, they were hopeless.
I was up there.
I was, and me and Dennik and Mason were kicking stones and blowing up all the nine crew got to stay in the studio. We're the travel three hours up the highway to go to this crap game and watch his team. That was crap and they got pooped by the fence and their coach go the coach didn't know. The coach is probably in the elevator on the way down as the team's walking off. He's made a fantastic win. He goes in the press comms, gets told that his team's being booed after win they just had. He's sticking up for his men. No, please, he's sticking up for his for his men. They have got out there, put their body in the line for for him, you and for all the fans the amazing wins of the year.
Well, I'll stuck up for his men. Let's go to Eden g I'll say this, see what he thinks. The Nova Castrians, the Newcastle supporters stick with their team through thick and thin. Well, stop booing them. They turn up. They turn up when the team's going like bustards, I e. Now they turn up when they're going great guns. They turn up because they love their rugby league. They don't deserve for their own coach to sit at a press conference and say, these people don't understand rugby. Let what a stupid thing to say. MG, good afternoon, Good afternoon.
Look I get it.
I get when your team's going bad and the crowd happy with a real a real supporter. Yes, doesn't boo?
Yes you've lost.
They look Brian, good stuff.
He bagged the booing.
They won, He apologized, move on. He got tapped on the shoulder for sure, one hundred percent. He's been you know, maybe maybe you had to. Maybe it's the wire were living today. He had to do it, But I got no doubt. You see when he did it, he scratched his neck. Yeah, yes, oudam O'Brien. If you're listening, you hear this, mate. Look look what you did. You stuck up for your men.
I'm with you on that.
Did you boos?
Well you know what, let's get our listeners and wait to the end of the game.
To your boo, wait to the end of game.
If you lose, if they lose the master, there's half a game to go, a sixteen meal down. How many how many games this year we've seen teams come back.
Answer me this. Did they look like a decent football sold first?
They looked like a grade at best, So tell me this.
And a supporter is not entitled when they pay their money to go to a gar to voice their disapproval of the first half performance from a team that's going like the bustard at halftime.
I don't think as a collective note there might be two or three blocks in then carry on, yes, But as a collective for your whole sixteen thousand people to boo your team at half time when you're sixteen points down, no, I can't agree with it.
