Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Panthers @ Campbelltown

[Joel-22]

big month or so for Sione.

Hard to see where he fits in the 2021 side with everyone fit and firing

Guerra and/or Glasby won't be in the 17 next year..... He will comfortably get a bench spot

 

[Old dog]

Don’t both Guerra and Glasby have another contracted year left, need to move them on as can’t see them playing reserves, would free up cap. We will know how things are when Barnett is back and Friz arrives next season will leave Fitz a season Sione battling for bench.

 

[slotmachine]

Sione is like some horror movie monster that cannot be killed, his defensive reads will still be haunting my dreams in 2021.

But seriously Guerra will be gone, and Ese'ese probably too expensive to keep. Sione better than Brodie Jones etc

This is Guerra last year and Glasby has another year to run and then he'll be gonzki

He offers more on the bench with versatility much like Mitch Aubusson for the Rorters.

I dont see a future for Fitz at the club unless Barny moves to lock.

 

[slotmachine]

Ese'ese will leave for $$$ and fitz,frizz and barnett will be the backrow if I was betting.

bench of watson, and some combo of jacob, glasby, saulo, and sione

 

[Johns Magic]

Don’t think Sione’s defensive reads in the backrow are an issue

Really hope Herman doesnt leave, I think he's got a big future, dont think we've seen anywhere near what he can do yet. Not that it means much but I think he bought a house in Newy also.

 

[PhilGould]

He seems settled and I get the feeling he would stay for less than he can get elsewhere, but if another club blows us out of the water he'd be dumb not to take it.

 

[EdLondon]

Wonder what the new 6 again and one ref will be like for us. Will be a test for fitness and the effort on effort for the big men. Wonder how Randell and Watson will be used. Might actually be a good game for Chris to debut if we get the ball enough. Our second rowers are going to have to stand up big time and hopefully Herman has fixed some of his online defence because it will be tested at some point. Bit worried about the pace of the game and Guerra. Can see them targeting him.

 

[PhilGould]

Tex Hoy to take goal-kicking duties
Watson to start over Randall
Best still a chance to play

I like it

I reckon that Bennett style continuous one up hit-ups hoping to get them tired won't work. By the time you tire them out that way they've run around you. Souths showed that.

Could be bullshit but apparently Fitzy hurt his hammy today at training and Brodie Jones will be making his debut..

 

[PhilGould]

SQUAD REDUCTION | The Knights have suffered a blow ahead of Sunday's game with Lachlan Fitzgibbon ruled out for the clash against Penrith.

Fitzgibbon picked up a hamstring injury and has been replaced by Aidan Guerra in the starting line-up.

Coach O'Brien has also omitted Pasami Saulo from the extended bench.

Bradman Best, Mason Lino and Brodie Jones remain in the squad and are in contention for the final bench spot.

A decision on the make-up of the interchange will be made one-hour before kick-off.

Could be Best off the bench. There's been talk about him moving into the forwards. New rules might suit that move and at least he has NRL experience.

having mobile forwards is the go with the rule change.....like Watson and Sione I wonder how Best would go in D? no doubt he's big enough.

 

[PhilGould]

If any outside back is moving into the forwards it will be Shibasaki.

 

[Old dog]

That would mean a few changes Best to unfavourable right, Taulo to right with Best to left, simpler to put Jones to bench to replace Guerra replacing Fitz, can’t see it happening, too many changes with inexperienced/rookie players.

 

[Old dog]

Regarding Jones, he has been with us a long time, lots of games u20’s and reserves, way over due to show us what he has got, up for contract extension or NRL oblivion, in a way I hope he gets his chance and nails it but for me he should have made it by now considering our team has been a bit weak for a few seasons and now getting stronger
