    R15 | Knights 28-30 Sharks @ Hunter | Sunday 2.00pm

    Unique? There has been plenty of Mamos over the last few years with the same skill set. Nathan Gardner, Adam Quinlan, Denan Kemp, Kevin Locke etc. Where are these players now? I can understand the reasoning behind moving Gagai back to centre with BJ leaving. The club is also banking on Mamo...

    Just pointing out we had this same discussion about Sione at the start of the year

    R13 | Knights 22-44 Raiders @ Hunter | Saturday 3.00pm

    Sione played right centre most of his career. I did call it before a ball was even kicked off this season. Sione is still in the best 17, and there is a rep quality player in there. But he never once screamed superstar potential to me...

    Team 2016

    Wouldn't the Knights be better off using Jez's coin on someone like Shillington? Sure he's a short term option but so is Jez. If I was rebuilding the Knights starting from next season, I'd be chasing at least 3 quality players. At least a half or hooker and a prop or two. Fill in the...

    R13 | Knights 22-44 Raiders @ Hunter | Saturday 3.00pm

    I thought I'd look at how the Knights compare to the rest of the competition. So the Knights have 3 players in the top 5 in line breaks but the team ranks 10th overall in points scored. Lack of polish at the end of sets... 2 Knights player in the top 6 for Line Break Assists. Sione has...

    Mullen hasn't been playing that badly to be dropped to NSW Cup. He's still makes the Knights best 17 every week..

    Hopefully Mullen is back soon so we can see how him and Gagai play together. Mullen's better season was 2013 which was also Boyd's best season at the club. Having Boyd at the back as the extra play maker helped Mullen's game. Something Gagai can provide for him. Hopefully Mamo can develop this...

    Swarzey. Mullen would do well in the Storm system next to Cronk. But not as the main playmaker. Mullen has good long kicking game but his attacking kicks are average at best. He puts up terrible bombs, he struggles to get repeat sets. Every now then he does put in a good little kick for...

    Sorry forgot Aku. He misses a tackle every 2.3 tackles this season.... Not saying Mullen is the worst half going around. However, he's not the super play maker that the Knights fans are making him out to be. Get him to do the long kicks, and direct the team around. Thats what he's best at..

    I don't bet on the Knights, so never kept a database on them. An interesting stat this season though is Mullen is the 2nd worst miss tackles percentage in the team missing a tackle every 4.6 tackles. BJ is the worst with a miss every 4.3 tackles..

    R13 | Knights 22-44 Raiders @ Hunter | Saturday 3.00pm

    Stats tells a different story. This season, Knights has averaged 15.3 a points game when Mullen has played a full game. Without him Knights has averaged 17.2

    R11 | Knights 18-31 Broncos @ Hunter | Monday 7.00pm

    The Knights are mentally weak. I don't know how many times the Knights after scoring points and being on top the following set they make a schoolboy error. As soon as that forward pass from dummyhalf was called, I knew it was game over for the Knights.

    'This club is a rabble' thread #5,672...

    Stone failed as a coach before a ball was even kicked this season. His plan to fit Sione in the 17 every week was always going come back to bite him on his ass. So on Monday night the Knights had Gagai at fullback but trained right centre all preseason, Gidley at halfback who trained fullback...

    Dane can play both sides as illustrated with his combination with McManus the last two weeks. Can pass on both sides just as well. He is actually probably suited more on the left with his short left foot kicking game.

    R10 | Knights 22-12 Tigers @ Hunter | Sunday 4.00pm

    Just finished watching the replay... a few things stood out to me. The Knights have used 3 different fullbacks and 3 different hooker this season. It's going to be interesting to see what happens when Mullen and Clydesdales are back. That's twice this season the new bench hooker has scored a...

    If we, Gus, and Johns

    50/50. Sure players need to take responsibility as well but from listening to Stone all year... his main message has been to play more direct as the team has been going too much side to side

    Leilua gone at the end of 2015

    How he didn't want to let BJ go but it was BJ that activated the clause. Also, had a go about BJ being lazy at training.
