R14 | Storm 16-14 Knights @ AAMI | Sun 3.00pm

[The Showstopper]

When you consider Gower is probably still a little jet lagged and needs time to adjust it makes sense he would wait till next week, but a big part of me thinks Bennett will throw him into the fray.

Considering we've got the bye next week it's not the worst idea.

I just hope Clydesdale comes back into the team and not waddell

 

[Dave_]

As the week goes on I'm starting to feel our chances increase. I've just got this feeling our forwards will smash theirs and we'll win 28-8.

Nothing like a bit of harsh criticism to get the blood pumping for our old timers!

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Snowy has been talked about from Daley as a potential to replace tamou. Hopefully he is on fire to try and jag a spot

Where did you see this?

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Where did you see this?

Can't remember. Was either one of the fox NRL shows or a sports report. The snippet I saw Daley said that he may not choose woods on debut because it will be tough at suncorp and will consider someone like mason or snowden.

They also spoke about it on STERLO last night it is pretty much between snowden, woods, tolman and mason.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Gower said on Triple M tonight that he was "highly unlikely" to play this weekend :-k

I only remember him saying that Wayne hadnt discussed it with him yet

Could be ducks and drakes...

 

[Bring it home Knights]

If it's picked on form, then Snowden needs to be picked. He's been carrying the team over the last 6 weeks.

 

[Yosh]

Hasn't Woods been on fire as well? Personally I think whoever gets picked will do better than Tamou did last wednesday. Tamou has been down on form and didn't really offer to much last game.

 

[Joker's Wild]

If it's picked on form, then Snowden needs to be picked. He's been carrying the team over the last 6 weeks.

As has Woods for the Tigpies and they are going even worse than us. He made over 200m last week

 

[RHCP]

Woods
Snowden/Mason
Tolman

Is how I'd rank them. Mason and Snowy are on the same level because they offer different things so it depends on how Loz wants the team to play.

 

[Big Tim]

Personally I would have stuck with Clydsdale and as much as I'm a big fan of his, given Tyrone a week or two in NSW Cup. May very well have been the kick in the pants he might have needed.

I dont know. Clydesdale has done nothing wrong, but he is very young. Has he even played NSW Cup?

I would think guys like House, Roberts, Waddell and maybe even Gower would be playing NSW Cup next week (assuming they dont also have a bye)

 

[The Showstopper]

Clydesdale and no Waddell agreed. When i watch Waddell on tv I think it is a slow mo replay. He is terribly slow. Adam is certainly one who will benefit from Bedsy's genius. I hope Danny coaches next year in some capacity.

 

[Yosh]

When Waddell gets to dummy half it seems he makes the decision to pass or run or who to pass to when he gets there. If his decision making was quick and accurate like a Cam Smith or Bedsy that'd be okay but damn he slows down our play.

Cyldsdale in his 20 or so minutes showed me alot of natural instinct which I really liked.

 

[Robbie'o'Davis]

so im going to melbourne this weekend,

and im going to the game.. if you see a designated knights fan sitting by himself looking miserable good chance it is going to be me..

start of the year i was confident on top 6, now im not even confident on top 8..

Melbourne to win 34-10

Yeah pretty sure NSW Cup have the bye next week too.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Yep, our NSWCup side has the bye

 

[Bring it home Knights]

As has Woods for the Tigpies and they are going even worse than us. He made over 200m last week

I'd have no issues at all with Woods if he was selected. The thing that has impressed me with Snowden, is not just his yardage and his involvement in attack, but it's his defense. His lateral movement and high involvement is what makes me think that he is ready for another crack at origin.

Team changes.

No Bedsy back, Clydesdale dropped...and f**king Waddell and Houston still in the squad. That'll do me.

Storm by 100.
