[Knight Vision]

nice line up.

Experience on the bench in Glasby and Guerra
The challenge for Jsaf to provide some punch off the bench
Excited to see what Herman can do starting at lock

 

[Haffa]

Moga in Reggies where he belongs.

 

[mozza91]

Klemmer, Saifiti and Ese’ese as our starting middles excites me.

 

[Silent Knight]

Obi went with the form centres from our trials. Feel a bit sorry for Bradman Best picking up that injury, he would have been in there I reckon, but his time will come.

Solid team, although if our team had a weak spot it's our backrow. Frizzell can't come soon enough. Let's see how they go as a cohesive unit. I'll be at the game.

 

[Knight Vision]

Frizzell can't come soon enough

Out with Fitz and In with Frizell and that's a pack that could take on any in the comp.

 

[Yosh]

How long is Best out for? Hopefully he is back sooner than later.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

How long is Best out for? Hopefully he is back sooner than later.

Round 4 or 5 pretty sure

 

[EdLondon]

Really looking forward to see what JSaf can do. He looked great at the 9's and in the trial. Looked mobile and aggressive

ah f**k. In that case this will be a close game. Perenara should not be allowed to ref Knights matches..... dubious at best.
