Reserving Judgement till the team is announced, hopefully Dane Big Willy Danny and Timana are all starters.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Game cant come fast enough

 

[Jobdog]

One thing I can be certain of? We won't be as horrendous as we were last night.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Christ! A 50+ drubbing is on the way now

Good one lolJD

 

[Jobdog]

It really is as simple as whichever team turns up.

If it's the one from last night - Cowboys by 30. If it's the one from last Monday - us by 6.

Willie Mason is cleared of a calf strain following his scan. He will be monitored this week and should be available for Round 3 against the Cowboys.
Dane Gagai has an ankle syndesmosis injury and requires further scans on Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury. The centre won’t be available for Round 3.
Travis Waddell was a late withdrawal from Sunday’s game and is a chance to return on Monday following a precautionary hamstring scan on Monday.
Meanwhile, Matt Hilder returned earlier than expected on Sunday following a thumb injury sustained in the final trial match in Tamworth. Hilder was cleared by the doctor late last week and took his place in the team to cover the loss of Waddell.
Danny Buderus is also recovering well from pre-season back surgery and will return to skill and contact sessions this week. He is expected to be available in Round 4, as is Timana Tahu, who is returning from a foot injury.

I think Mullo had the same ankle injury a few years ago...was he out for around a month?

 

[1qaz]

Gagai has had issues with his ankles before.
Watmough is a piece of shieet.
Knights need Gagai back ASAP... Uate had one of his worst games I have ever seen him played. Mullen went missing as well.

Not looking forward to this game at all as I don't think we'll win.

IF we win this, a lot of optimism will be restored in me about our season.

Based on the Manly game? Three weeks ago didn't you say we'd beat them?

I can't remember. Always knew it'd be a tough game though. And yes based on the Manly game I think the Cowboys can steamroll us.

We won't be that bad again.

@FOXSportsNews - .@NRLKnights centre Timana Tahu to undergo fitness test in bid to replace Dane Gagai who'll have more scans on his injured ankle today #NRL

[Jono078]

I highly doubt we'll be that bad again, but I think the Cowboys will be just as tough as the Sea Eagles.

Right now I see Cowboys winning 20-10.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

We won't be that bad again.

We didn't play well, but plenty of credit has to go to Manly. Most teams would really have struggled to match them on Sunday. Like Billy Slater for Melbourne, Anthony Watmough is really making a habit of saving his best games for when he plays us..

 

[Joker's Wild]

Ray Thompson will be out for a few weeks and its likely Lui will be replacing him at halfback for the Cowboys

 

[Big Tim]

We will miss Dane alot.

He is the key to our attack IMO.

 

[Jobdog]

Teams and officials updated in the first post

 

[KniGhTs BaTTLeR]

I think we will get the win. Only because we are at home, Tamou and Scott scare me though.
