Round 8 - Knights vs Sea Eagles @ Hunter Stadium - ANZAC DAY

Ahh slots you are first in. At least we have not got your mate Henry!

If we are good enough we will overcome obstacles and win. Biggest problem for us is dropped ball and ruck infringements. Looking forward to Jamie bellyaching all day.

Bhana is as game as Ned Kelly and will do anything he is asked to do, or try to.
Last week he tried hard but missed 8 or so tackles and made 40+, because he is like a horse - too stupid to know when to stop, so will keep going till he drops.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is, just because he will run off a cliff for us if we ask - maybe we shouldn't ask.
Put Randell at prop next week - he'd give it his best shot too.
 
Not questioning how courageous he is, just his small frame trying to make meters and punch through the line is a concern
 
I think we will be much better this week but I can see Manly's experienced players proving to be the difference

DCE back which is a huge boost to them, Hopefully I'm wrong but I reckon Manly 13+

That's great news Billy, Today is about more than just footy

Lest we forget
 
Once again we get shafted by the refs... I thought only way to over rule the refs decision was if the video ref is 100% sure.

The video ref clearly said it "appears" the hand has moved away from the ball, appears isn't 100%
 
The ref is useless, he was right there for akus try

Can someone tell me what that penalty was for?
