No point training hard if they're not going to play hard.............

your opinion or actually happening?

 

[Jobdog]

Happening.

Knights Twitter confirmed it about an hour ago after the final training run.

 

[Joker's Wild]

I'd be leaving Aku out of this one if he is carrying an injury. NSW need him fit and firing more than we do and if he agrivates it more on Monday night and misses selection then we are more than likely going to see BMoz replace him and that simply can't happen.

 

[perverse]

i strongly doubt Bennett gives 2 diddly shits about what's best for NSW.

 

[Joker's Wild]

True mate but it also has knock on effects given how fragile Akus confidence seems to be lately. Injury and missing an Origin decider can send it spiraling down.

 

[The Showstopper]

Club first state second. Any day of the week. Aku should play if able.

 

[Frederick]

I like state of origin and all but no way is it more important than club footy. The knights pay his wages, so being fit and firing for us is more important than for nsw.

 

[Jono078]

Anyone else have a good feeling about this game?

I do...

 

[Bicey_18]

I wish I could feel confident ..even just slightly, but the recent performances of the boys I cant see anything other than a Tigers win. We have a dreadful record against them, having not beaten them since 07. They will be fired up to win after the Roosters game.

Anyone else have a good feeling about this game?

I do...

I have a good feeling every week, then the knights find some way to always disappoint me.

 

[Jobdog]

Aku to score a hat-trick and us to win by 10. You heard it here first.

 

[The Showstopper]

Good luck Lote. I am glad it is you and not me marking him. May need to make a few more toilet trips tonight mate. Darius will be cheering.

Reports coming from the Tigers camp that Farah will play tomorrow night.

Wests Tigers Captain Robbie Farah will lead his team into battle against Newcastle Knights at Hunter Stadium tomorrow night.

Farah has informed Head Coach Tim Sheens he will play in the round 16 Telstra Premiership match after being given time off from training following his mother's funeral last Wednesday. Sonia Farah passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 63 last Sunday just hours before Wests Tigers clash against the Sydney Roosters at Leichhardt Oval.

Sheens is wary of facing a fired up Newcastle after their last start 32-16 loss to Canberra at home a fortnight ago. The Knights sit in 14th place on the ladder with just four wins from 13 matches.

“We are very much going to have to be on our game to play Newcastle in Newcastle,’’ Sheens said.

“They were booed off by their crowd in their last game and they have had a bye to think about that. They are going to be ready to play. They have been in every game even though the score line at the end doesn’t say so. They’ve only needed a few things to go their way.

“It is a very dangerous game for us. They are a very good side and they have had a week to recover from any injuries.

“They have got plenty of reasons to play because their backs are against the wall.

“The last time we played up there we had our backs to the wall and won on a very rainy Monday night when people said we couldn’t. It started a bit of a run for us two years ago, so I’m very aware of the dangers of this game.”

Wests Tigers players will wear pink jerseys against the Knights as part of the Women in League round while several players will pull on pink boots.

Supporters attending the game will be able to purchase their own pink jerseys at the official Wests Tigers merchandise van at the Southern end of Hunter Stadium and at the Wests Tigers stand inside the ground at the western end.

If nsw lose it's clearly 110% your fault...

Johns on the Sunday football show was saying all the lads had the week off, and upon returning to training seem to have got their heads in the right space.....

He sounded very confident the Knights would go well so never say never.

A week off isn't going to magically fix everything. It sure can be a step in the right direction but we need to build on every positive step one at a time. Hopefully we see a commited performance this week from the boys.

I just put $50 on the Tigers -3.5 start. We are now a shoe in to win because I never win. You can thank me after the match.
