Mullen wont be back until next week next week

Boooooooooooooo....

 

[Shenry4]

No we need to rest Mullen not rush him back. I don't care if it takes a month, i want that hamstring fully healed and attached properly!

It is a long season and a long career after all. Drives me crazy how knights rush guys back in. Remember Gidley coming back after like 2 weeks from a dislocated shoulder? Absolutely crazy!!! I was waitin for that baby to pop out lol

 

[Swarzey]

Roberts really stepped it up and with Boyd supporting him, he seemed to show his potential to fill the roles Mullen has left. We're still a mess when it comes to structure, but that will improve and all of this, the slow start, tough loses will only benefit us in the long run. I don't exactly want to face Canberra without Mullen, I actually want to beat them at least once this year, but if Roberts and Boyd can replicate their performance from last week and perhaps improve it against JT and the Cowboys, then I'd rather see Mullen continued to be rested until he's fit.

Roberts and Boyd need to do far more than just replicate or slightly improve on last week. Let's not forget we played the Sharks without Paul Gallen, Beau Ryan, Anthony Tupou, Luke Lewis and Jeff Robson plus Michael Gordon got injured during the game and Todd Carney doesn't look 100%.

We should be ok against the struggling cows but against the top sides we need Mullen or we lose, simple as that.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

We showed last week we have spirit.
There was a reason for that but the fact it is there holds well. We can do it!
We have areas of the game we can work on but I often think that is a positive.

I reckon Dobson is filling in well. He's not up to Mullen when Mullen is in form and kicks a bit too much like Roberts but he has proven to be an adequate fill-in in my eyes.

A change I've noticed is that we are putting in longer kicks to touch for penalties.

Our key is how we start. I reckon we will romp this game in but never underestimate the Cows at home.

 

[Spot On]

You blokes read he article re Tariq Sims wanting out of the Cowboys?

 

[The Showstopper]

No but if we signed the entire Sims trio i would be very content. I actually would take Tariq and Ash over another prop cos the obvious fact is Ashton can function as a front rower anyway. Tariq is just something very special as a player. No idea why his form has suffered but maybe his broken leg x 2 is a factor.

 

[Rod]

Ashton is a dud but it'd be worth it if it meant we got Tariq.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

If we could get Tariq to pair with Korbin, then that would be awesome,

If we could have this next season, i for one would be extremely pleased.

1. Boyd
2. McManus\Mamo
3. Gagai
4. BJ
5. Uate

6. Mullen
7. Roberts

8. Snowden
9. Clydsdale
10. Grant
11. Sims
12. Scott
13. Smith

Best bench players we can use.

 

[Knight Vision]

I wouldnt swap Robbie Rochow for anyone. I have a feeling he brings much more to a team than what we see of him on the field. And in the not too distant future and if he sucks the right dick he may even get mentioned for SOO

 

[Yosh]

Rochow was a winger/centre before right? I think he defintely has some moves in his locker that he hasn't been able to utilize very often yet. I think in 2 or 3 seasons he'll be a different kind of player, a more creative forward, maybe even a Glenn Stewart mould.

 

[The Showstopper]

Jeremy Smith will be 35 next year. I doubt Rochow will be the one moved from the pack folks.

 

[Jono078]

I think it's interesting that on the TAB margin bet the lowest odds are for the Cowboys to win by 19+.

I guess they're expecting us to have a let down, and i'm afraid of that too.

 

[Apey]

Considering I've tipped the Cowboys, the Knights are probably a shoe-in for 13+.

 

[rnb11]

sneaky suspicion mullen might play tomorrow afterall. dont get ya hopes up or quote me but i personally wont be surprised.

[Jono078]

If the team was feeling flat - that would definitely be a big boost.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Lose and we are last. Win and we are 12th up to 10 with a big win.

 

[Rod]

We'd have to get pumped by about 40 for the Sharks to overtake us.
