R8 | Knights 24-26 Cowboys @ Hunter | ANZAC Day 2.00pm

[Burns]

Hook line sinker, you guys are the worst, Boooooourns.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Can we have a source for these things about Mullen?

No source, I am just in the know. I am a pretty big deal within the club.

 

[Joker's Wild]

I saw it happen. He was working on the money makers in the gym, curling 45s, then pop went his bicep. Pretty sure some chick fainted too

 

[Burns]

Team named, Tapine drops out for Sione. No other changes.

 

[Zoidberg]

Team announced. Mullo and Snowy are fine you jerks. Tapine off the bench. Everyone else as named early in the week.
Knights to only lose by 14 now.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

The Newcastle Knights and North Queensland Cowboys have finalised their 17-man teams for Saturday's match at Hunter Stadium.

Joseph Tapine drops off the extended bench in an otherwise unchanged line-up.

KNIGHTS

1. Kurt Gidley (c), 2. James McManus, 3. Dane Gagai, 4. Joey Leilua, 5. Akuila Uate, 6. Jarrod Mullen, 7. Tyrone Roberts, 8. Kade Snowden, 9. Adam Clydsdale, 10. Korbin Sims, 11. Chris Houston, 12. Tariq Sims, 13. Jeremy Smith. Interchange: 14. Tyler Randell, 15. David Fa’alogo, 17. Jack Stockwell, 18. Sione Mata’utia.

 

[Burns]

No logic at all in both Randell and Sione on bench. Maybe Roberts will have a rest?

So 2 bench utilities again?....... My god, is stone that blind

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Stone is a f**king genius. I am over him as coach. Time to get the pitchforks out and drive him out of town.

 

[slotmachine]

Quickly losing patience with Stone.

 

[perverse]

I hate you guys so much.

Also Stone is gutless.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Seriously, Sione is not that good that it justifies these outrageous benches. His skill level is that of a fringe first grader. It's just ridiculous, he adds absolutely nothing to the team. I just do not see what Sione brings to the table to justify his selection in the teams.

I even have my doubts that he will ever amount to anything other than stock standard first grade player.

 

[slotmachine]

Coach says he is shaking up team as the amount of errors is unacceptable. Tapine (1 error) is hooked and Roberts (4 errors) is safe.

Two utilities on the bench, is Sheens the muppet coaching?

Careful, you can't say anything bad about him, he's played for australia you know.

This bench probably means Gids will go to half when Sione comes on. Urgh.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Every player is on notice

Nek minnit our best young forward is dropped, no other changes

:crazy:

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Let me guess, tapine still didn't even play reggies either?

 

[Frederick]

Crap crowd in. Not surprising at all. If stone isn't going to take things seriously, why should anyone turn up to watch?

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I reckon Sione to fullback, Gidley to 7 and Roberts bench.
Can't afford to "rest" Roberts. If one forward starts to hobble we are up schit creek with Deliverance playing.
We need that extra fwd on the bench. Randell is also listed as a Lock so might be able to do a fill-in if needed but ...

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

The best thing that could happen in this game is an injury to one of our backs to put an end to these dumb selections.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Deliverance?
