Knights Media Release

 

[roopy]

Small bench.

 

[roopy]

I suspect they'll drop someone to make room for a prop during training, and i have a feeling it will be Uate by the way Smith went off when he threw that stupid pass.

 

[CJG 182]

I'd expect a couple late changes to this side, we'll die with that bench.

 

[Jobdog]

*Sigh*

We're gonna lose

 

[Matt23]

Either someone will be drafted in or House will be spending a lot of minutes in the front row

 

[roopy]

Smith just about always drops debutants in as late inclusions to keep them out of the press spotlight - Timmy????

 

[Matt23]

Would'nt surprise me if it's Doogs that drops out.

 

[Spike]

There's no way you would go into a game with a bench like that. Even if House spends most of the game at prop, there's got to be another forward or two to come into the side. Natush, Edwards, Tovo?

 

[Pika]

Wicks

 

[Yosh]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Thats gold, 3 backs on the bench... Hilder isnt really a forward he is tiny as well. That is gold, we definately not gonna be making many metres hitting it out from our end

tell ya that much!!

merrit out on suspension... compensated by the awaited returns of craig wing and beau champion

 

[Jono078]

Our bench is super weak.

I like Houston back in the secondrow, see what he can do there.

Wicks to come in and piss off Lulia.

 

[Spike]

This might be a game where Uate may play well. From the small amount that I have seen of Corrigan, he's not all that flash and is playing out of position.

 

[Bicey_18]

Im not about to completely write off our chances this week...

We werent supposed to beat the Sharks at Shark Park but we did... we did it without mullen and simpson for over a half of football, add to that Cameron going down meaning we played with 14 men for the last 15 or so. I think we have a pretty good side considering and the confidence the boys would have picked up last night will carry on into Sunday. A great record in Gosford in recent years, with Gidley taking control and two of their strike weapons missing in Merritt and Wesser (possibly) I can see us getting the cash.

Look for big games from 3 former Bunnies in Doogs, Rogers and Ndaira

 

[otori]

I'm not gonna write the Knights off but I struggle to see us winning this game. The Rabbitohs will be keen to notch another win and we're going to be travelling extremely light. Assuming that Uate drops off, Lulia shifts to centre and Doogs to the wing or some shift involving those 3, we put Wicks in and still have 2 small utilities on the bench.

Definitely time to go down to Sportsbet for me and check the odds for this game. If the Knights continue their good records against the Bunnies and we get goods odds I wouldn't mind putting down some dosh.

 

[perverse]

i'll be surprised if that team runs out. the bench definitely will have some changes.

 

[roopy]

Ndaira will have some plays designed just for him.
He will probably be doing a Luke/Sandow play on Souths.

 

[Yosh]

Ahh... Uate dropped for Lulia? Hell no man!!! Uate ripped the souths to shreads last year lets hope he can repeat that effort. Lulia should play for the sharks man, boring

2nd rower trying to play centres if you ask me.

 

[Adsy]

Get a prop on the bench instead of Lulia and its not a bad team. Oh wait, Rogers. Dang.

Our most dominating win in possibly 2 years was against Souths last year so hopefully we can replicate that.
