Round 18 | Rabbitohs 34-14 Knights @ ANZ | Sun 2.00pm

[Joker's Wild]

KOD will be playing according to the Knights Facebook page

 

[Adsy]

Interesting. So you'd think either Adams or Tetevano will drop off the bench.

 

[Jono078]

I reckon Adams and then Costigan can play hooker for a bit.

 

[Rolla]

Must say lads i am really looking forward to this one.

Not because i think we will win necessarily, but i think the side will turn up to play and overall it will be a good match. They have the forwards, we have the backs. We might see a very tactical game rather than a 'battle' fought in the trenches.

Last couple of weeks we have seen more offloads and plays put on. I think we are in for a high scoring game (both ways) and we might see us throw the ball around a bit to take advantage of their crap backline.

They deserve to be favourites obviously but it has been a while since we beat or put it to a good team in good form...

Bring it on

 

[Rolla]

Also i wouldn't mind seeing House in the middle for this game in particular, a cleanup guy to look after Luke. Luke could really punish us with Nev, Mason, Tets, KOD in the middle. We will need every inch of Housten's 2m reach.

Not sure how a backline with Inglis, Merritt, Sutton and Reynolds in it is considered crap.

And I will.

Regardless of the fact I'll probably be made to regret this in an hour, I wouldn't feed either of them. Sutton is a below average second rower playing 5/8th with a kicking game on par with Petro.

Merritt can find the line against poor sides and what else? Inconsistent and a whinger to boot. Also his defense is Dureau like at times. World beater.

Who said Souffs had a crap back line?

Its their 3/4s that are shit.

Your description of Merrit reads like a description of Uate.

 

[Rod]

Sutton provides regular lols but the rest of the guys mentioned are dangerous. On paper we should be able to more than match their backs though.

It's the forwards and particularly Luke around the ruck which concerns me.

 

[Frederick]

Tetevano starting, Taia off bench

KOD included, Adams not playing.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

I actually quite like the look of our team.

At last we get to see what Tets can do. Hopefully he is full of beans with the opportunity he has been given to start on the run on side.

Also excited to see how K OD goes.

We got this.

Knights by 24

 

[Jobdog]

Obviously the first 20 is when we've got to stick with them. If we do, I think we can get home. Knights by 7.

I put a few bucks on the Knights by 7 paying $51. Would be nice.

Captain negative here thinks we are gunna get flogged.

Sorry this is what i was getting at.

Tets starting, Taia to the banch
