[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Hahaha,

list is posted a full day after it was released and no one has commented yet.

Kind of sums up the fan outlook atm....

Cmon BJ - daddy needs a huge score from you in supercoach

Yeah, I know...it does reflect a real drop off in interest in here - not surprising given the season and same squad as last week


But LOL at Frederick

Supercoach 101 mate - captain the player playing against the Knights that week. Was a tough call between BJ and Croker, but I reckon BJ will have the bigger day

 

[Burwood]

Didn't Austin score a hat trick in the opening 15-20 minutes last year? I remember it clearly because Gidley pointed out in the lead up to the match how they had been working all week devising a plan to shut him down. :lol:

 

[Apey]

I saw a game thread from several weeks ago still stickied earlier today. Care factor is surprisingly still dropping.

Go team?

 

[Zoidberg]

It's my birthday the day after this game. I want only one pressy this year and it's a win.

Prepare for a disappointing birthday

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Yeah I'll watch the game but my interest has hit rock bottom

 

[Zoidberg]

Prepare for a disappointing birthday

Nooo! :lol:

 

[perverse]

Will watch. Will laugh.

You've got to appreciate the human capacity to find mirth in dire circumstance.

What can one say about the team that's posted? Elliott has been horrendous so far and a complete dud signing. Barnett has shown some promise, hopefully he continues to grow into first grade. Rochow on the bench, good. Curious to see what Josh King is capable of when he switches to a full time squad member. Bloke barely trains.

f**king Cogger named again. It's not his fault, but I'm sick of his face and his tiny body getting blasted about as teams run traffic at him all day. Honestly, even the dumbest strategist on the planet can take one glance at our team sheet and know what they're doing on the weekend.

Torn on whether Tapine or BJ will get MOM

Torn on whether Tapine or BJ will get MOM

Agreed, given the rule that all former knights players come back to haunt us every time we play them I have a feeling these two will score 6 or 7 tries between them.

I'm also getting tired of Cogger being named, he's had a few games now and clearly isn't up to it at this stage and it can't be doing his confidence much good being trampled on by behemoths every week, it would be better to put Randell in at 5/8 until Mullen is back, while he's not particularly creative but at least he's a better defender than Cogger.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Team seems more structured with Randell on the field. Pack forms up better behind him and they seem to have more confidence in him.
Levi is definitely a player of the future.
I'd go with Levi and Randell in preference to having Cogger out there. Randell to fill in at dummy half at times.

 

[Frederick]

Jacob saifiti playing under 20s.

Rochow must be back in starting side

[slotmachine]

think ross will actually line up at centre

Jacob saifiti playing under 20s.

Rochow must be back in starting side

The Newcastle Knights have made several late changes, with Jake Mamo returning from injury to come into the centres and Sione Mata'utia moving into the second row to take Jacob Saifiti's position.

Robbie Rochow also moves from the bench to start at prop, with Sam
Mataora going in the other direction.

Meanwhile, with Mickey Paea not named on the bench, Josh King takes his place.
