Round 3 vs the Knights

[Buzzard Breath]

A few surprises.

Leniu not in the 21 is a minor surprise. Could he be on his way to the Warriors on loan? Edwards the main one though.

 

[The_Frog]

Nah it'll be Burton

I'd have thought Luai. He kicked in 2 games last year, or was it 2018? Got 8 from 11.

I wouldn’t think so.

 

[Kilkenny]

Shame about Edwards but otherwise strongest available side I guess.

 

[Kilkenny]

Sauce is the one to go sadly. Naden out to the wing

I still think the metres gained Josh gets bringing the ball out of our own end are invaluable. He is probably not going to reach the heights he once did but I’m confident he is going to have a strong season.

 

[John Hamblin]

Interesting Charlie Staines named on bench,Probably only an emergency or will Cleary spring a surprise and put him in to replace Aekens!!

No. Aekins will play.

Extra cover in case something happens to Aekins at training this week.

You don't want a back sitting there doing nothing either

On the side named.

Crichton FB. Kenny his place on the bench.

Either way the 4th bench is getting stuff all game time

Edwards is injured as always

Leinu is only just doing full contact too underdone

Bit harsh on Dylan. These things happen.

 

[Dave's mate]

If Ivan doesn't start Crichton at fullback then he's lost the plot really Aekins is a handy NSW cup player at best

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

If Capwell is also on the bench then no. Would bea total waste

If Ivan doesn't start Crichton at fullback then he's lost the plot really Aekins is a handy NSW cup player at best

I can't see that happening Crighton will be brought on as a super sub, where (if last 2 games are any indication) he will have great impact.

they do but some players more than others.

5th season of FG and only 45 games shows an injury history

Pretty much this

5th season of FG and only 45 games shows an injury history

In his defence his first game in 2016 was 1 game on the wing against the Sharks. So it’s really only 44 games in 3 seasons given we are only two games into 2020 which yes technically is his 5th but in real terms he has played 44 games in three full seasons.

 

[Kilkenny]

The coaching staff know what they are doing.

I know we fans like to think we know better but have to have a little faith in the powers that be.

If Chrichton is the real deal he will surely force his way into the starting side during the course of this season. At who’s expense time will tell.

 

[Kilkenny]

Just looked at the Knights side for this week and we should definitely not underestimate them.

They are very solid and a decent side even if being without Ponga.

Definitely not taking this game for granted we will have to be at our very best if we want the two points.

 

[maple_69]

Aekins is less disruptive given he’s like an Edwards lite.
No idea why Staines would be there to cover Aekins when Crichton is already there.
