Good side considering the outs. Would love to see Hagan get a run but if we’re getting bashed and on the end of a big score it might be better to leave it and just let Cant plod for 15-20 minutes to give Graham a spell.

Agree - if Phoenix is an uncertainty why bash a kid up … play the experienced players and rest them all next week ready for the finals.
 
Even with some outs this is a far stronger side than when we played them at home earlier this season. I have a sneaking suspicion Ponga will have a big game. Both Jsaf and Mooney will stand up to give out backs some opportunity. We will see a different side this week and surprise some people.

If we aren’t going to rest the stars at least structure the interchange so you can get them off the field as soon as we are behind by 14 or more (i.e. 22 mins in)

Why?

If your assumption is that we're so far inferior to the Warriors that we'll be 3 tries down a quarter of the way through the game, what's the point of resting blokes for finals? May as well decline to play the finals too - give the lads an extra long preseason to focus on next year...

I'm not tipping us to win this week either, but there's a home semi on the line - and the attitude from a large contingent on this forum is talking about the team like we're wooden spooners

We are already in the finals.
We lost Crossland, Frizz and Young last game.
Are you saying that the home ground advantage is more than losing three players of that calibre.
Particularly on a game that we a long shots to win.
Look at the bigger picture.
 
will be a tough ask to jag a result over there, especially with how we played last week, hopefully there's a better effort in defense from everyone and we keep it as tight as possible then maybe lady luck will be on our side and we can produce an upset
 
Completely understand we are underdogs in this game. But I’ve heard a few people mention warriors will have too much size/big for the Knights. I was curious and actually matched the players profiles and most one on one match’s our boys a bigger! So be should do there research before throwing out claims.

But they are big and athletic all the warriors boys. Eg SAF is the biggest guy on the field but he is definitely not the most athletic forward. All there forward look like that could play in the backs! Lol
