NRL Round 13 - Knights Vs Eels - 3:00pm Saturday, 30th of May - McDonald Jones Stadium

I’m past the point of us playing/hoping for injuries in the opposition team. If we are going to WIN a comp we want to play and beat the best opposition.
Ideally yes. But I’m not gonna complain about Parra losing the bloke who’s dominated against a bunch of times in the past.
 
Team is in

I was calling for Ponga and SAF on the extended bench and only used if necessary. But I get @Grandpa Joe and have them start and pull them off if we are comfortably winning.

I’m just worried, I don’t want to see a Bradman situation again. I would more on the cautious side, any little niggle rest them.

I’d rather lose the game than have either of the injured myself. I wouldn’t risk them.
