    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Penrith @ Carrington Park

    Both of these seem more obvious on experience and we may well get but I hope not. They would wreck our whole structure and gameplan. I can’t see Crossland playing 60 minutes at lock like Mann does, and then jumping into hooker for 20 minutes to spell Randall. Not even close. Minutes aside...

    I think Mann carrying a cork is why Sasagi is 18th man. Straight swap. I think we are ok on the bench.

    I like Watson but…let’s see how his career goes not being Kalyn’s housemate

    Had a good game. A couple of bumbles but I think Tigers fans would be pleased with the talent he showed. I’d keep him in the starting side. Madden went alright too.

    2022 R3 Fri - Wests Tigers 12-16 Warriors @ Campbelltown

    I loved the flexing after smashing a sitting-duck into touch

    2022 R3 Fri - Wests Tigers 12-16 Warriors @ Campbelltown

    Big stuff-up not to check that. But ultimately it would have been inconclusive for the bunker I think and they would have had to go with the ref’s call of no-try. So I don’t think it makes a difference even though it was shit.

    Yep saw this. He said he was reluctant to move Barnett out there because he’s been loving his work in the middle.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Brooks is on $900k per season. I don’t know if we should feel sorry for him while he’s pocketing that much. Sure he’s in a shit club, but at that wage you should look like a good player in a losing side. $900k per season also means signing him is a moot point when we are getting real value out...

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Penrith @ Carrington Park

    I think we can win this game without Ponga, and that would be a much bigger shot in the arm for our season than winning with him. I would have loved to see Hodgson get this time at the back but Hoy always has a crack.

    I guess you can’t rule out that the Knights came knocking and it was decided better for him to take up a similar opportunity at home than all the way down there. The Raiders have plenty of second-row options so in terms of a path to first-grade I’d think it makes sense too.

    2022 Team

    Has anyone noticed Brock Gardner has suddenly returned to the club ? 18th man for NSW Cup this week out of nowhere. He was a highly rated second-rower in our juniors who Souths poached and were raving about until he did his achilles last pre-season. I wonder if his return was always on the...

    Excitement/Expectations for the 2022 season

    Another good stat. 4 of the top 10 decoy runners in the comp this year are Knights forwards. Leo Thompson equal 1st Barnett equal 3rd Frizell equal 5th Jacob Saifiti equal 10th https://www.nrl.com/stats/players/?competition=111&season=2022&stat=1000002 We did not have any in the top 50 last...

    Excitement/Expectations for the 2022 season

    No worries. Mann has touched the ball more than any other non-spine player in the comp this year. The only fullback with more is Dylan Edwards.

    Excitement/Expectations for the 2022 season

    Look at how our lock role has shifted this year in terms of moving the ball. Again something we all knew but some stats to illustrate. I can’t be bothered trawling all of Sue and Watson’s 2021 games, and in plenty of games they played less minutes or other positions, but taking a random...

    He looked good in the NSW Cup highlights this week at 13 and got plenty of metres in the stats

    Thanks mate. Agree with you. Let’s see where he ends up in a couple of weeks.

    Did they say where in the team Brodie may have been? Starting, bench, extended ?

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Penrith @ Carrington Park

    I hope they all play. Last week was great having Croker and Thompson come off the bench and look so capable, but it was against a rubbish team playing without spirit. I want to see how they back up this week against a quality side and pack. I have faith. No Klem, and Barnett having to push out...
