That should give the Knights fans a bit of hope for this season. We only fielded 8 out of our top 17 but there were still some good signs from Newcastle.

That was hard watching. From the Raiders perspective a couple of the forwards (and guys who will be playing first grade) looked a little on the fat side. I have a feeling we are going to start the year slowly. With the heat and the extra chub it could be like last year.

Clydesdale is very bad and if Hodgson gets injured thats it for the Raiders. Especially with Baptiste out.

For a bunch of blokes auditioning for Crokers centre spot boy did the backline play like shit. Aiono was especially crappy. Nick Cotric I think has genuinely won the spot. Stuart might go with Turner though. I cant see what he sees at training and all that. He outplayed him just now though imo.

I don't know what Canberra take out of that, as Pete said they were looking for blokes to put their hands up and... well, yeah nah.

Knights fans can at least be somewhat confident that this year will be an improvement on last year. Much sharper. Levi looks primed for a big year.

It's just a trial and as such isn't a reason to give us too much hope, honestly though when you've got a very young squad that won 1 game last year any win in any setting is a good thing in terms of giving them some confidence.

Wouldn't read much into it from a Raider's perspective but might struggle if you pick up a few injuries.

If Hodgson gets injured I am going to stuff my pockets full of rocks and walk into Sydney Harbour
