Round 2 3Vs Knights Saturday 18th August 3pm Panthers Stadium

We should be taking advantage of this, just like others team have with Maloney's obvious injury/fatigue concerns over the past 4-6 weeks

I have no doubt we will attack his side. Wear down the defenders inside and outside helps us late in the halves

Definitely need to be running at Ponga tho he handled fairly big minutes playing in the middle in an origin game. I'd like to see us test his defensive decision making and reading also.

He did but he also had great defenders around him. Knights have ordinary defence and won't want him to get stuck one on one. So will leave a gap somewhere.

Ben cummins as ref.....seriously?????

Newcastle only have pride to play for, we should be expecting a win from the team, no excuses about poor refereeing.

Defending wider should give us more chance to isolate him and test him out.

Well, if Griffin was still here we wouldn’t be doing that, given that he didn’t believe in adapting to the opponents.

Good for you. I'm comming down I will have my daughter with me. The club has been incredibly helpful in getting her access to a power point to re-charge her oxygen machine, and a lift pass. I have a 6 game membership but I pay an upgrade for the grandstand.

Looking forward to 3 games of footy.

If we can beat the Knights by over 38 points, we will leap frog Souths

I would be good if we can significantly improve our F/A with this game, to put a bit of a gap between us and the teams below us in the 8.

Knights, despite their position on the ladder, actually have the worst defence in the NRL. They have conceded 533 points points thus far. The Eels by comparison have only conceded 442 and the Cowboys 461.

That will be the aim. he is only 92kg. Kikau for example is 119kg simple weight advantage if you get him one on one.

I thought he was smaller than that. Looks like a beanstalk.
