Is that the team or your guess?

 

[rnb11]

Sorry, should've said it was my guessed team

 

[Apey]

Sounds like Mason will be on the bench according to Newcastle Knights on Facebook.

 

[KempoKnight]

Looks like Wayne will have Eddie and Mason in the prop rotation, or may shift Costigan into the front row at some stage. Would of prefered faas over Eddie aswell :/

 

[Apey]

Good to see Wes back. Hope he can bring back that form we last saw from him.

 

[Liam]

Fa'as for Eddie and that is our best team.

 

[Matt23]

That's a much better looking lineup

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Bench still looks light even with mason there.

 

[Silent Knight]

Where is Faas anyway? Injured or out of favour with Wayne?

 

[Johns Magic]

Played in 2nds the last couple of weeks

 

[Apey]

If I remember correctly (very possible I don't), his case of the dropsies is back, which is a shame because he's on he's very good for us.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

I like the look of that team, and yes Faas should be there, very surprised that he has been dropped.

 

[Silent Knight]

Well if Faas isn't in favour, perhaps Wayne should have taken a gamble and given one Korbin Sims a taste of FG in place of Edwards?

Korbin has to be raring to go surely, he's just come out of the U20s Origin and his confidence would be high knowing he's been earmarked as a potential state rep in the future (for the wrong side I concur). Korbin's probably been on the phone recently with his brother Tariq congratulating him for kicking a** in the CvC game and being a genuine potential bolter for the Blues squad.

An origin bench spot for Tariq and an NRL debut for Korbin would make the Sims clan mighty proud. Give Korbin a go Wayne! Even if it's just for one game, it will make him all the more hungry!

 

[Adsy]

Korbin didn't play Under 20's SOO. He is injured.

Also I'd gave Fa's or Cuthbo over Edwards at the moment.

 

[Yosh]

Hm... I really wonder why Eddy is getting a go over Faas... Personally I don't see it but least Cuthbo is goneski hahaah!

Panthers team for Monday. Looking at that team, we should really put them away. Last year we were winning games like this, so interesting to see how we do. Just as important a test here as the games against Brisbane, Melbourne, etc.

 

[perverse]

f**k me that Panthers team looks ordinary.

Hopefully we put the Strawberry Milks to the Sword
