[Burns]

Despite the unfortunate circumstances, I'm happy to see Sims named to play. Also glad that Clydsdale kept his position in place of Waddell. I suppose if Body and Mullen are fit to play they'll be last minute surprise additions.

To the game itself, I think we can win this one. Showed enough last night that we can be more than competitive without Mullen/Boyd as long as we don't give away a billion penalties and have a equal share of possession. It's also time to start winning as well, don't want to be the only team to be without a win.

 

[Spot On]

No excuses this week. We should win this game.

Toddy will be coming to your side a lot Akuila!

 

[Zoidberg]

Hopefully it's good weather and you Newcastle faithful show up in numbers.

We can't take the Sharks lightly but I do think we can win.

I reckon Boyd will be a late inclusion.

I'll be there, although this year's home games are harder for me to attend due to me having to travel 2hrs each way and Monday night and 6 30pm Sunday night games are out of the question due to work/school commitments.

Hopefully Boyd plays. If he does I think it's a win for sure and if Mullo miraculously plays, we should do it easily.

 

[Johns Magic]

Sims over House is the good news.

 

[perverse]

I'm betting Boyd will be a late inclusion. Anyones guess on Mullen, but probably a bit optimistic this week.

 

[Allstar Knights]

Sims over House is the good news.

Redman is starting hooker in NSW Cup, so looks like he's ahead of Waddell also.

 

[Frederick]

I'm betting Boyd will be a late inclusion. Anyones guess on Mullen, but probably a bit optimistic this week.

I really hope Boyd is back because I haven't seen anything from Minto to suggest he's anywhere near up to it.

 

[perverse]

You can see the playmaker in Minto, but he's definitely a half, not a fullback... and I think he'd be very poor defensively in the halves.

 

[The Showstopper]

If Boyd plays we will win. Our entire attacking structure is essentially sitting on the sidelines. No brainer really that we are second worst in attack at present. The bench looks great. Get Clydesdale to start and Kurt in the 14 and we will look really good.

 

[Seage]

Thank god Luke Lewis isn't playing after he beat us on his own last year.

 

[Haffa]

Hopefully the game is more entertaining than the home fixture last year. That was probably the worst game of football I have witnessed.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

It wouldn't surprise me if Fa'alogo and Willie swap also. I'm definitely coming around to the idea of using Willie as an impact player. He plays at 100 miles an hour when he is on there and he does have a good offload.

Boyd will play. Dont know what they're going on about in the spoiler thread.

It's Jobdog and timmah...not a single clue between them

 

[perverse]

More reliable sauces can be found in the bottom of a bin.

Mullo any chance?

 

[Yosh]

Mullo any chance?

If he is, he needs to be the subject to some Harved medicial examinations. He might as well be from Kypton.

He's from my mate?

I have a mate called Kypton and no he's not from Krypton.
