NRL Round 26 - Knights Vs Warriors - 2:00pm Sunday, 30th of August - Go Media Stadium

Hagan will probably debut.
He topped the tackle count with 40 and fantasy points with 67 - 3 line break assists, 1 try assist, 4 tackle breaks in reserve grade.
 
So based on comments and suspensions we will likely be missing, inj Brown and Lucas, suspended Young and Frizell and hoping that Gagai and Manu are fit with last bit Crossland medical attention. Then we are calling for Croker to be rested, done, done, done.
So going with Brown. Lucas, Young, Frizell and say Croker out what is our likely side, at best.
1 Ponga, 2 Hunt, 3 Gagai, 4 Best, 5 Marzhew, 6 Sharpe, 7 Smith, 8 Saf, 9 Graham, 10 Mooney, 11, Manu, 12 McEwen, 13 Jones, 14 Hagan,
15 Hopwood, 16 Suolu, 17 ESL, 18 Crouch, 19 Hunt,
Not a bad side but we are missing a few big names, we will be better best season but for now hope we give it our all.
Can’t wait to see the team tomorrow avo

Interesting choice to clone Hunt and leave one on the bench 😅
 
Just saw the time slot for this game. 12pm in Auckland. Hopefully it’s a dry track, this time slot will suit us more then them.

They definitely have us in the forwards but I think we have a better backline. Although Dom a loss. We will go in the same throw it around style play from our own half. Seeing this time slot gives me more confidence. If was a late or night game no chance.

I didn’t realise Jones was available. Toss up between Jones and Saulo for Frizz’s spot, maybe lean to Jones cause he has a late offload.
Should be 4pm NZ time mate.
 
Honestly surprised some are suggesting we effectively throw this game by resting people. We haven't played enough finals intensity games in our run home as it currently stands. We need a real test to see where we need to make adjustments. At present, there is no greater test than the wahs across the ditch. If we can make it a game like v chooks, roosters, I have no doubt we can do a job on Souths in week 1, whether it is at Mac Jones or Accor. But we won't know where we really are if we don't have a crack by playing our best squad available.
 
Yeah I think it was more if we’re in a position to rest players. Not throw a game. So no Crossland, Frizz and Dom. If Gags is 100% he plays. And Manu should be available if it was concussion. I think we missed a Manu last week. Frizz doesn’t have the speed and agility now. Crokes has seemed flat the last few weeks also but he should play. We have the bye last round so everyone can get that well deserved break. One last effort against the Wahs. Fingers crossed no injuries or suspensions.
