We were a bit blind (drunk) last time we met but hopefully we can dish this out to the Penriff Pussies this time...

 

[Knight Vision]

We'll be missing half our spine and our best second rower. They'll be missing Tik Tok man so it'll be interesting. If we play with the attitude of the first 2 games we will win.

 

[Knight76]

First Knights try celebration needs to be a re-enactment of Cleary's tik tok dance.

No way. Do it first and the Panthers will fire up.

Save it for last

Apparently we'll be playing our home games at Gosford, along with Manly and the Warriors

Looks good. Will look much better when Ponga and Barnett are back

How long is Barnett expected to be out?

 

[Knight Vision]

How long is Barnett expected to be out?

I think I read somewhere he's hopefully back in late June early July.

 

[slotmachine]

Doesn't excite me as much as seeing KP, Brailey and Barnett on the team sheet. Winning with those three out will be a great result.

[alexwilliams_66692007]

1 week away!!!

Knights website did a piece this morning talking up Randall. I have a suspicion that because Mcullough has litterally only had a few days to gel with the other lads, he won't be named for another week or 2.

 

[Joel-22]

I'm worried about our second row stocks if Lachie Fitzgibbon gets injured.

11. Sione
12. Brodie Jones

Guerra is done

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

I'm worried about our second row stocks if Lachie Fitzgibbon gets injured.

11. Sione
12. Brodie Jones

Guerra is done

Agreed.

Guerra is 2 levels behind in intensity and has zero lateral movement left. His off the ball work is most concerning though, the bloke is well off the pace. Fitzgibbon needs to start with a bang and maintain the rage until Barny returns. He's got a lot to prove imo.

 

[PhilGould]

O'Brien leaning towards Randall debut according to Toohey. Wants to give McCullough more time to settle in.

Best will be left centre with Shibasaki, Tuala and Moga competing for the other spot.

Only question there is if Best gets the nod over Tuala.

 

[PhilGould]

Wouldn't be surprised if Randall starts over Watson
