[Zoidberg]

Yeah we got this.

Knights by 22

 

[Joker's Wild]

The boys better bring their own Vasaline...

 

[timka4]

Mullen plays we have a chance, if not then raiders will win

 

[perverse]

We don't even have a chance with Mullo if the rest of the team wants to drop the pill every second set, and then give penalties away every other set.

We couldn't beat an under 20's team with the rubbish we dished up last night. We are a joke of a team after last night, and have a long ways to go in correcting it.

 

[Zoidberg]

Same 17 named. No Mullo. Will he play though?

 

[Dave_]

If we don't win this, we can consider ourselves the worst team in the comp. At least the Sharks have a long injury list to blame. Who do you blame when your hands turn into feet?

Newcastle Knights @NRLKnights 1m
Jarrod Mullen got through the final training session and will play against the Raiders tomorrow

Well I'm a bit more hopeful now. I wonder if Dobson will be dropped or if Mullen will be on the bench ?

 

[perverse]

Surely Dobson will be dropped. I can't see Wayne bothering to bring Mullo back from the bench. If he wasn't good for 80, he'd be sitting out I reckon.

 

[Noname36]

I really hope neither Roberts or Clydesdale are dropped for Dobson.

It seems to be the popular belief on the other forum that Dobson has it all over Roberts but I just don't see it.

Reason enough to dismiss then. The RL knowledge in that place can be written on the head of a pin

I knew I'd seen enough when they were blaming McManus for last weekends loss.

 

[perverse]

They're f**king clowns over there. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they thought Dobson was a better choice than Roberts, there's not enough collective grey matter over there to fill an egg cup.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Bennett likes a utility and Dobson fits that role.
But Clydesdale has had an impact off the bench, is a much better Hooker than Gidley and Gidley seems to need a rest.
Not sure if I'd give Mulllen the full 80 and I'd want a backup just in case he pulls up a bit sore.

I'd rather Clydesdale than Dobson for sure but reckon it will be Dobson or Mullen off the bench.

 

[Misanthrope]

I daresay Clydesdale will drop off to make way for Mullen. Roberts will retain the #7, but I doubt he'll completely drop Dobson who has been fine so far.

 

[chinorocks]

Really hope Dobson gets dropped. Apart from the fact I think he's terrible, Milford gave him an absolute bath a month ago when we played them.

 

[otori]

Going to the game on Saturday. Hopefully it's not a 2013 bloodbath. If they take the two at any point, I'll lose my nut and try to get Gidleys attention.

 

[Joker's Wild]

God I hope you are wrong here bro

Dobson sucks at 5/8 as it is defencively, he will get monstered at hooker

 

[perverse]

lol... I just made a quick trip over to clown college to see what their vibe for the game is.

They really do all think Dobson is a better option than Tyrone at halfback, lol. More than that, they actually think Roberts has been particularly bad this year. Afraid I don't see it... I see a young half who has done a lot of good things this year, but isn't ready to run the show at this level.

Dobson can't defend for shit, has a bloody average kicking game and can't see to keep up with the pace of NRL. All Dobson has is the short pass/face ball play close to the line on the right edge. I'm sorry but one or 2 nice passes isn't enough to keep you in first grade over Tyrone or Mullo. Tyrone has been pretty bad in defense too, but he offers a much greater threat with the ball in hand.

There exists a place where fellow Knights supporters believe this rubbish? Dobson better than Roberts? Lol. Mcmanus to blame for any loss? Never. I must say I'm quite shocked.

Sorry, but they must be semi geniused.
