Round 16: Newcastle Knights vs St George Illawarra Dragons

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

Metres and tackles are hardly the only stats that show someones value. Throw in Tariq's missed tackles, errors, penalties and weeks suspended to give the real picture

He looked tough though.

 

[mozza]

St George are playing like 2016 this arvo, hoping it continues next week.

 

[rhugh89]

The Dragons have been really poor in the last 2 weeks, Gives me some hope but still not confident

 

[MattyM]

Don't let their last two weeks fool you, we're always the one who work teams back into form.

 

[member 2299]

Tariq ain't doing much today lol.

We will have to play the Dragons into form next week they have been hopeless last few games.

 

[Battler]

yep, Dragons will cost me the perfect round in the tipping comps this week and then come out and beat us in a thriller. But we'll be brave. FML

Was joking before, can't wait for our third win next week.

[danknights]

De belin will play. Thing in his favour will be old matey getting up so fast to take a tap.

 

[nunnsy]

We need tahu back to sort out De belin, hit him so hard he will throw up again

 

[member 2299]

I think he will do a week or two. Arm under the opps armpit and around back of the head with pressure. And they are an NRL owned time like us who don't count!

 

[MattyM]

He'll get off, he's playing us of course.

 

[Billy]

Tom Hughes and Sam Mataora finally named in the 21 is good, although they won't get a run.

Elliot in for Wardle.

It will be interesting if Gagai can't play after origin - either Gagan or Tom Hughes are the only other backs named in the 21.

 

[beau]

Finally tom Hughes is named
