Well we have absolutely nothing to play for, the players don't care, the coach cares even less.

Knights by 12

 

[Apey]

Stop. Stop... he's already dead. *cries*

 

[Robbie'o'Davis]

this is going to be some tough viewing....

 

[The Showstopper]

Look at their bench. God help us. Looking forward to watching Remi Casty play. Big raps on him from the ESL. From what I saw of him at Catalans he is a pretty aggressive player as well.

He was undersized when I watch them in the WCC. Looked at least 20kg down on the rest of their pack.

 

[Haffa]

I think I will record this one and watch it saturday morning. Won't have to deal with the madness that is the delayed coverage then.

 

[Noname36]

Happy I won't be able to make or see this one. Despite the fact we'll still get destroyed though I think we'll see a better performance than Sunday.

I think he is 100kgs so it would not surprise me. He can play though.

 

[Sacrolishes]

Sione Mata'utia Just named to make debut in place of Boyd!

This game just became interesting!!!!

Hope he has a cracker... Or just plays well... Club needs some positives!!

 

[perverse]

At least there's a legitimate reason to watch beyond habit and loyalty now. I guess that means Gagai to fullback?

 

[Sacrolishes]

been playing full back last few weeks i think for 20's? Had a blinder last week. The intercept he did when Titans made a break and he intercepted the ball that would have seen player score was sensational.

The covering tackle from opposition second rower was pretty sweet too....but we'll just talk about Sione.

 

[Rod]

So how old is Sione? Isn't he only 18 or something?

 

[slotmachine]

yeah, he would have debuted already but had to wait until his birthday

knights fans are hopeless at talking up juniors, but this is one who could be a genuine superstar

will make the abuse we cop from the roosters at bit easier to watch

Turned 18 a few weeks/about a month ago.

 

[Rod]

Wow that must be close to one of our youngest ever debutantes. I know Craigie would have him covered but apart from that...

 

[Noname36]

Mullo was about a month over 18 too if I recall. Snowden would be close too.

 

[Rod]

Ah of course Mullen was still in school wasn't he. I might check some recent annuals, I think there might be a youngest list there.

edit: Damn it only has Craigie.

Looking forward to see how the young gun Sione goes. From what I have seen of him, he's BJ without the brain explosions. Sione could make a good fullback in the the Karmichael Hunt mold
Got to give Wayne credit this year for giving Mamo, Tapine, and Sione all a taste of first grade this season.
He could have went the safe of option and went for one of Sione's brothers to fill the spot

 

[aqua_duck]

With all due respect to Pat and Chanel, they're not even on the same wavelength as Sione.
