Second pre-season trial - Knights Vs Bulldogs - 6:00pm Saturday, 14th February - McDonald Jones Stadium

[EASBay17]

I’m looking forward to the “it’s just a trial, we weren’t trying to show our hand or anything” after the game. Doesn’t explain dogs rolling up the field

Getting pumped in the middle will be the story of the year, just like it was last year but everyone was happy to put it down to coaching.

Looks like McCarthy is now playing centre

 

[CornChippy]

Why was he named at fullback this week then. The more i think about it and as stupid as it may seem i reckon we may be looking at ponga in the 7 . Makes no sense to trial sharpe at fullback if his meant to be building a combination in the halves.

If it is Ponga or Sharpe at 7 I hope the coach just sticks with them and lets them build a long term combination next to Brown. If it's Sharpe we could have our halves set for a decade.

Saulo has been kinda trash in the trials

Calling it now we probably won't see a better hit from a Knights player in 2026 than we did just then with Croker on Tracey.

Smith = Cogger

 

[Macca89]

Croker absolutely folded Tracey there

He's always been trash IMO unfortunately

 

[MattyM]

People can say it’s only a trial, but fact of the matter is the dogs have been great and are having a massive dig, whereas we look like we want more kitchen utensils.

 

[JOJO82]

Browns desperation is top shelf

 

[Joel.M]

That was good D from McEwen

 

[Sheent14]

McEwen only positive so far.

 

[Joel.M]

McEwen & Brown our best

 

[slotmachine]

Throwing KP in at 7 to make 30 tackles a game after coming back from a long injury layoff (also considering he is usually arse for a few weeks after injury) seems crazy, so it will probably happen

 

[Sheent14]

McCarthy and De Courcey laughably bad

 

[Seano]

Brown easily the best Knight out there. May be regretting his life choices after that last play by McCarthy.

 

[MattyM]

McCarthy shouldn’t be anywhere near a first grade jersey.

 

[mozza]

If Cant starts ahead of McEwen in Round 1 I’m starting the sack Holbrook thread for real.

 

[Joel.M]

Saulo loves a penalty
