18 MAN SQUAD TO TRAVEL NORTH
The Newcastle Knights continue their NRL finals campaign in Brisbane on Friday night when they face the 5th placed Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.

A win would guarantee Newcastle a berth in the playoffs following last Saturday’s win against competition favourites, Melbourne, to throw the race to the minor Premiership wide open.

Coach Brian Smith today named an 18 man squad to travel north.

Injured players, Cameron Ciraldo (back), Richard Fa’aoso (concussion), Dan Tolar (back), Zeb Taia (knee) and Danny Wicks (back) all returned to training this week and despite initial fears of a stress fracture in his foot, scans cleared half back, Scott Dureau to resume training late yesterday.

Dureau and five-eighth, Jarrod Mullen will again steer Newcastle around the park with utility, Chris Bailey to start from the Interchange.

After a man of the match performance last week, prop Ben Cross will be out for a repeat performance in Queensland, named in the starting front row beside Matt White and Matt Hilder.

Hilder will wear Number 14 again with Danny Buderus’s jersey retired for the remainder of the regular NRL season, as a tribute to the contribution he made to the Knights and Newcastle during 11 years of first grade football.

The Knights depart for Brisbane this Thursday at 1pm.

Starting line-up is nice. Well done Matt White and Taufua.

So who misses out because of Wicks? It's only Karawana isnt it?

 

[Apey]

hopefully wicks gets a dose of karawana

 

[Adsy]

Hopefully Wicks just warms the bench for 80 mins.

Going on the list it would be Fa'aoso, or Houston.

For those of you arriving up here today (Thurs) the bottom line is that its gonna piss down tonight and early tomorrow (Fri) before clearing by the afternoon - might even see some sunshine if we're lucky. I don't think we need to worry too much about the turf as they have fantastic drainage at Suncorp, but if 100mm does fall on Brisbane (which is quite possible) I expect it to at least be a little bit damp!

It'll be quite windy too, though Suncorp is not quite as open as EAS so I'm guessing it will be fairly protected. Should be some moderate to fresh westerly winds at the game anyway. Chance of a shower during the game.

Thats sensational news Serc! Looks like its going to be pretty warm tomorrow during the day as well. About time the weather behaved itself and was a bit different to the garbage we're getting dished up down here

 

[Joker's Wild]

Well it is p i s s i n g down right now and has done so all day. They say its gonna clear up tomorrow though
