[BrentWebb'sno.1fan]

The team for Saturday's game against the Knights, with kick-off at 7:30pm at Ericsson Stadium is:

1. Brent Webb
2. Henry Fa'afili
3. Clinton Toopi
4. Tony Martin
5. Justin Murphy
6. Thomas Leuluai
7. Stacey Jones
8. Jerry Seuseu
9. Tevita Latu
10. Richard Villasanti
11. Ali Lauitiiti
12. Awen Guttenbeil (Captain)
13. Sione Faumuina
14. Epalahame Lauaki
15. Matt Jobson
16. Vinnie Anderson
17. Louis Anderson

Winger Francis Meli was not considered for selection this week as he is yet to fully recover from the groin strain that sidelined him for the Manly game. The injury will continue to be monitored by club medical staff.

Good change

Leuluai has a bit more influence than Ropati, and that will take a bit of pressure of Stacey.

 

[Robster]

Good to see Murph have another game.

Is it? Newcastle will be a lot more able to attack his side. Tahu and Gidley should manage to exploit his defence.

I heard Ropati is out for ten weeks with a broken jaw. Can anybody confirm that?

Yeah Jerome is out for 10 weeks.

A knock to the face early in the Manly game forced him to leave the field. Subsequent x-rays have shown that Ropati has a fractured jaw and it is expected that he will be out for ten weeks.
