Knights in the World Cup

[Hardcore_Fan]

So far we have

Italy: Aiden Guerra, Jack Johns
Wales: Josh Ralph (not sure who that is, he's listed as a knights player)

Sione, Pete, Moga and ese ese should be selected for Samoa

Jacob saifiti is a shoe in for Fiji. (Dan injured)

Levi will apparently replace luke in NZ. SKD a chance for NZ. Ese ese a possible Bolter for NZ.

So plenty of knights to keep an eye on.

I was about to remind you about Gagai’s selection in the aus squad, but then I remembered that he isn’t our problem anymore.

Please please just no serious injuries. Sick if blokes being gone before the season even starts.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

I'm super pumped for Levi, he's been one of our most improved players this season while Isaac Luke has looked overweight and disinterested all year at the Warriors so I think it's a well deserved selection.

There's always an upside and a downside to players going off and playing post season international matches. Upside is Levi will hopefully learn heaps from being in the NZ camp and will get to play in some big matches and get a bit of a feel for what it's like at a more elite level.

Downside is there's always a risk of injuries and knowing our luck he'll probably sustain a season ending leg injury while getting on the team bus before his first game.

Fingers crossed we get the upside without the downside.

 

[EdLondon]

Is he first choice hooker in the squad? Or just a backup.

 

[PhilGould]

Levi, Thomas Leuluai and Kodi Nikorima are the options.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Levi, Thomas Leuluai and Kodi Nikorima are the options.

You would hope that Levi would be first picked from that lot.

 

[Nuke]

He was 18th man for NZ in that Test against Australia in Newcastle a couple of years ago, so he should be very close to first-choice.

 

[Caped Crusader]

Both Sione and moga have pulled out of the Samoan squad

Sione for concussion precaution

Moga cause he is getting shoulder surgery

 

[Pedge1971]

You would hope that Levi would be first picked from that lot.

Agree. But unfortunately David Kidwell is the coach and his propensity for stupidity is well documented.
