Team V Souths

[Joker's Wild]

Jeez I cant believe the couple of people on here writing us off for this game. Given the gutsy win on Monday night with only 14 blokes I would think some more confidence wouldnt be to unrealistic.

Lulia wont be there after having a pretty ordinary game and will be replaced by one of the young props.

 

[lizziebra]

I wonder if Ndaira or Rogers went out to the Souths game last week to be understudy.

 

[Jobdog]

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.

I think the side was a little different to the one that'll run out on Sunday, although I could be wrong.

JW, sure our win last night was gutsy and with only 14 men, but I just look at our side on paper and I'd love to be proven wrong, I really would, but I just can't see us winning

 

[antonius]

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

I think it's time he got a run, and now looks as good as any.

Him and cross in the front row would be a nightmare, I think we need to blood timmy sooner rather than later, once he gets over the nerves of playing first grade he can fire. He would be a very tough man to stop.

Comon Jobbers, fire up mate! They're the mighty Blue and Reds, what could possibly go wrong? :crazy:\\\\/

 

[Jobdog]

:lol: As I said JW, I'd love to be proven wrong, but when we're down to skeleton staff and only have 19 fit NRL players to choose a team of 17 from, you know we're in a little bit of trouble. So much for the injury-free offseason

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Smith said in thhe herald today that he'll get a run either this week or next. I'd be putting my cash on him for this week. That bench is weak as piss!

 

[macavity]

if he gets a run this week, he wont get one next.

as he will be suspended.... :lol:

 

[Serc]

Bring on Timmy! Looking forward to it

LOL well that would make the Knights stronger wouldn't it? ;-)

 

[Liam]

Ndaira to 6?

 

[~knights~]

or marvin karawana

 

[roopy]

Ndaira to 6 gives us a zippy little guy who's biggest strength is taking on the line - not a bad player for outside Scotty.
He also has a short kicking game which is as good as any of our other options - maybe better. He had the commentators raving when he played for Lebanon v Wales and outplayed two halves who had played for GB with his quality runs and brilliant short kicking game.

 

[BG]

lol... on his off-days maybe. Unfortunately our best chance is that he plays and switches on. His A-game is miles ahead of Ndaira or Karawana.

 

[Spike]

I'd put Hilder at 5/8. It's a position he's played before and is more reliable than Karawana

if Ndaira is on the bench, might be the way to go to start - and bring Timmy or Wicks on to the bench.

could always play Houso at 6 and Kurt at 1.6...

or could play Kurt at 6 and give Mata'utia a run.

we have options - just none of them come close to 6. Mullen.....

 

[roopy]

The more i think about it, the more i think Smith is our key man.
He seems to have a dozen options for a gameplan, and Souths are the type of side that have as many weak points to exploit as strong points, so if we win it will probably because we had a good gameplan, and if we lose it's because Smith stuffed up.

 

[Frederick]

Ooh I like that. Do what we did last year in having seven forwards on field - name Houso at 5/8, move Zeb to second row, Hilder to lock, Timmy to bench.
