I think this will be another high scoring game.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Swap house for tapine. If we play like last night at least we won't be boring to watch.

 

[Rod]

Who the hell knows.

Eels can be dangerous and are capable of piling on points. Our defence will have to be better than the second half yesterday.

If we approach our attack like we did yesterday I'll be happy. Plus Fa'alogo and particularly Snowy will help our go-forward.

 

[Zoidberg]

I'm actually looking forward to us playing again. Hopefully they can put in an even better performance than Monday night.

 

[ryana87]

Correct , Eels by at least 20, its not going to be pretty for the knights,, Feeling for you guys, this should be a walk in the park for us.

What grade are you in?

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Lol. The eels aren't exactly world beaters.

 

[natheel]

Biggest thing in our favour is we are at home. Undefeated at Parra. But we were poor v storm and have some injuries to some key players in our attack (Hoppa, Sio and Ma'u) we usually bounce back well after a heavy defeat but wouldn't be surprised if knights turn up for this and catch us off guard

 

[RHCP]

We'll struggle if Clydesdale can't recover in time.

 

[slotmachine]

Why risk him?

 

[Zoidberg]

Is he in doubt?

 

[Dave_]

What is the deal with Clydesdale? I haven't heard anything about his injury. All I can assume is that it isn't so bad and he'll be right for this weekend.

 

[The Showstopper]

I am confident we will win this. The Parra bubble looks to have burst. When they lose they lose big. They do however play like a machine when they start strong. If we can get the jump on them we should go on with it.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Just need Hayne to play like crap and we will win.

 

[Rod]

What is the deal with Clydesdale? I haven't heard anything about his injury. All I can assume is that it isn't so bad and he'll be right for this weekend.

I read it's not bad but he's still racing the clock to be ready by Sunday. I get the impression it's about 50/50.

 

[RHCP]

Has to pass a fitness test tomorrow.

Brett Keeble ‏@BrettKeeble 2m
Looks like @AdamClydsdale won't be playing for @NRLKnights v @TheParraEels Sunday. Travis Waddell training in his place. @NHSport @LeagueHQ1

 

[Jobdog]

Gidley at halfback, Waddell at hooker. Hmmm ...

 

[Noname36]

That makes the job 10x harder. At least Gids hasn't gone back to hooker though. I would have gone with Hilder personally. Sure he gives us nothing out of dummy-half but he's better than Waddell surely.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

At least we still have Roberts there who I thought played well.
