Knights Lower Grade Stuff

[aqua_duck]

Probably not getting more opportunity in 1sts due to strong form of both Fitz and Friz, more chances in 2024 for him

Agreed, I think a full offseason training as a forward will do him wonders.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Lucas has big potential imo

Being a former outside back he has plenty of pace and instinct for playing with width. He has a good frame to put on some size too

Junior league comps kicked off today with Knights SG Ball & Harold Matts playing in Canberra

SG Ball won 56-10
Harold Matts won 28-20

 

[PhilGould]

SG Ball scored this try late to get the win after being down 14-0 at halftime against the top of the table Dragons. Sitting 4th (equal 3rd on points) through 4 rounds.

 

[PhilGould]

54-14 win for SG Ball today including this try assist from Wilson De Courcey

Awesome hit. I like him already

Anyone know if there’s a stream showing NSW cup today? Doesn’t seem to be on Kayo or NSWRL. Wouldn’t mind seeing how Jacko goes.

Apparently Jacko and Pryce tearing it up!

We were a final minute try in Harold Matts away from a 7/7 round for the Knights

Tarsha Gale Cup won 36-14 vs Sharks
Harold Matts lost 28-24 vs Panthers
Lisa Fiaola Cup won 22-0 vs Sharks

Hastings shouldn’t be allowed back in firsts until he learns a kick from 20m out other than chipping it straight to the opposition.

Eh, I have been pro Cogger getting a run, but I'd say Hastings short kicking game is where he easily has it over Cogger. Last week he set up several tries with kicks.

He still seems tentative taking it right up to the line though.

Been a bit of a dud game from both our halves so far. Pryce looks most likely but he can't defend. Hope it's something we can improve.

Run Dsaf at him hard for 30 min after every training session. DSaf could also do with the practice.

 

[perverse]

Yeah I haven't seen too much to like in Cup today. Very uninspiring stuff.

 

[Woody90]

Hopefully the lack of effort NSW Cup showed isn’t a sign of FG’s effort later.

Whole team was average but good to see Pryce firing up and talking so much at the end. Didn’t see much from Hastings.

 

[Yosh]

Is Pryce's defending that bad?? We talking old Gagai bad?

Very poor, yep. He has the size and strength, so can hopefully be taught... but it's clearly not his favourite part of the game.

NSW cup came back from 24-0 to jag a win, apparently Gamble had a good games. There a young kiwi edge backrower named Elijah salesa Ieaumoana who played SG Ball last year who looks like really good.

I don't think we have the luxury of picking Pryce's game apart anymore. Conditions are that dire in our halves that someone at the club must be thinking it's worth a roll of the dice. Yes, he has flaws in his game, but you can't teach the way he moves with the ball in hand and our halves have to change.

I can understand people looking at his hot and cold form in Cup (in a very shitty team i might add) and getting the ick with him. I don't have an argument against that other than some kids can rise to the occasion when it's put in front of them, and we are very desperate.

We know what we get from Cogger (less than nothing), but we don't know what we get from Pryce yet. High chance it falls flat, but it's really the only shot we have left to shoot right now.

Cogger is more a 7 than a 6 so if any change to those positions let’s consider Crosslands 6 and Cogger 7 against his GF teammates. Jones R 14 with Hastings to Cup to meet up with best friend Pryce.
Armstrong to stay 1 and Maps posistion to be considered, DSaf injured replaced by Croker
