Newcastle Knights 2019 Team

[Old dog]

Nice to read about Sione, nice to hear some positives about an NRL player, very much a feel good story.

 

[NK Arsenal]

Bugger that, he can't defend particularly well at centre at the ripe old age of 22. Get rid of him already.

In all seriousness, what a champion human being. Of all the things Bennett got wrong while he was here, I do still think Sione could captain the club one day.

It has to be between Fitzy and Sione for captain once Pearce goes. Both would make fantastic leaders

Ponga would have to be in the conversation by that time I'd say.

Watson hoping pain of missing All Stars pays off

Ramien is going to score approximately 1 million tries outside Pearce and ponga.

 

[Woosh]

So much for Levi being a team player this year rofl

 

[Bartwah]

And Levi is going to continue to having useless runs out of dummy half ‍

 

[Joel-22]

yeah every run he has made has earned his side a penalty ffs

 

[Haffa]

Ponga is shit according to the nrl forum. Hawt takes galore.

Yep and Brown is going to put Ponga back at fullback after one pre-season exhibition game. Herpa derp.

Jahrome Hughes is so much better than Pearce.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Ponga didn’t have a great game, only highlight was that classy pass to set up a try. Otherwise made errors and tries too hard. What do you expect though, he’s had one week of training with these guys. Will be totally different when playing club footy that he’s been training for since November.

Ramien looked good, ran hard, tackled hard and set up a try.

Levi looked good as well I thought, earned a few penalties with his running and seemed solid in defence too.

Overall just happy there were no injuries.

 

[Woosh]

Ffs his game is based around trying to milk penalties and barge over from dummyhalf.
He’s playing like he’s still playing 20s.
Either Brown can’t coach or Levi is just thick.

The sad thing is Ponga wants to play fullback.
Let him develop his game at fullback.

21% winnning rate and changes his spine and captain every year.

It's good to see we have some quality players in their early twenties all playing together. Ramien, Ponga, Watson, Sione, Fitzy, Saifiti and Co. I can see them become a huge force in the next couple of years.

 

[Joel-22]

Judging from the articles I've read, interviews i've seen and whispers I've heard, I'm going to predict our round 1 lineup

1. Connor Watson
2. Edrick Lee
3. Jesse Ramien
4. Hymel Hunt
5. Shaun Kenny Dowell
6. Kalyn Ponga
7. Mitchell Pearce (c)
8. James Gavet
9. Danny Levi
10. David Klemmer
11. Lachlan Fitzgibbon
12. Sione Mata'utia
13. Tim Glasby

14. Kurt Mann
15. Daniel Saifiti
16. Herman Ese'ese
17. Aiden Guerra

It's not what I'd go with personally, but it's still the best 17 we've fielded this decade.
