No Tahu

No Tahu

thats what i thought as well

we need that man to combinate with Gids once again, and produce a win out of it. We're strong in that corner when T and Gids are there.

Hally and Gids.... :?: :?:

doesn't really roll off the tongue as well as the T and Gids combo

 

[ReplicatedGod]

this week would be the greatest thing of the year so far to come from the Knights if we managed to take this win.

think about it.

Roosters out in the FIRST WEEK

it would be like a dream come true to see the 2002 Grand Final winners knocked out first week, no chances. Even better if we thrashed them.

Lets just hope dreams can come true, and Saturday isn't our last Knightmare

The Roosters cannot be eliminated this week. 1st and 2nd places are the only two teams guaranteed of going through to at least the 2nd week of the finals. Since the Roosters finished 2nd, they will be there come week 2 if they lose this weekend, and if they win, they will be through to week 3.

 

[ReplicatedGod]

hmmm...ok

 

[Missa]

im disappointed for tahu and for myself coz i cant watch him play again till next season.......my heart aches...lol....other than that blow i think we have a strong side but kidley need to be superb with his kicks...

I know We really needed that combination to get the points on the board. But I still have faith in the boys, they can still pull off this win.

 

[foetus_head]

If we dont win this year at least we are much stronger and heaps more depth now, we will though...

Knights have no chance IMHO 8)

The Roosters wont drop a game in the semis until the grand final against the mighty Penrith Panthers

GO THE PANTHERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Doctor]

The loss of Tahu is significant. I think he creates half-chances with his involvement, and seems to cope well when faced with overlaps. Quinn and Hall's defence is more worrying, but these things develop with experience, although one wonders whether Tahu is just naturally cool under pressure.

The Knights haven't ruled out playing Tahu - he underwent some surgery last night and apparently might just scrape into the side for Saturday if he can get the physio to work overtime on getting him up to scratch. It is make or break stuff - the concept of Tahu resting for this game in the hope of playing next week would be seen as ridiculous by most. This is a tough game, and if the Knights can actually sneak in a win then they'll no doubt face easier opposition next week.

The key inclusion is BK - the surprising thing is that our forwards actually gained many metres last week without Kennedy's influence - this is an important selection then for the Knights because he brings experience, form and inspiration to a side that is already performing well in the forwards.

Not our strongest team, but I still think we're good enough to spring an upset.

 

[Faranah]

all i can say is good luck to us! i really wish Tahu were there though anyway i hope he is better so that if we win he can continue for us in the semis

 

[keeney]

can someone tell me whats happening with price, did he fracture his jaw gainst teh cowboys, is he available this week?

Yeh, he's got a broken jaw. No chance of him playing on saturday night.

 

[Jedda]

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that Tahu makes it on to the field for this game. The opportunity of watching him and Gids turn Walker inside-out would be too great to miss.

Bad luck for Price, I thought he had a great game on Sunday and a chance of playing in the finals would have been a great experience for him.

Still, looking forward to watching those players who make up our team giving it their all this weekend.

Keep dreaming, Roosters will be smashed by the Knights on Saturday night, then if they meet your silly panthers they will smash them too.
