I thought Pearsall looked OK at 5/8. Playing out of position as a fill-in hooker won't help your image - remember Randell before Danny got his hands on him in pre-season. He didn't look comfortable there at all.

Got to agree with that. First half we had the breeze and the halves hardly put boot to ball. I'm not seeing anything much from Hodkinson except a good place-kicker and really bad strategic kicker on last tackle. It annoys me a bit when we have had several players who are capable of decent last...

Pearce and JWH and likely back as well, remember. I don't think it's going to be as easy as we like to think.

I will be at the game and the two things I want to see is the Knights fight it out until the end (win or lose) and Darius get his backside handed to him - several times, hopefully. :Knights:

Both halves didn't shine last Sunday - I'm OK to give them the benfit of the doubt for a game or two, but I hoping for some dramatic improvement on Saturday, win or lose. Maybe we can start getting a few more kickers going as well - you have Feeney and Randell who have a reasonable kicking game.

Bhana actually went on for Smith on Sunday, so they could be subbing him him in at lock. I think Levi will almost certainly get some time at hooker although Randell played most - if not all - of the game on Sunday.

I'm not expecting a win, I'm just hoping we stand up. At Cbus on Sunday, I did see changes in the team's attitude and saw signs that give me some hope for the rest of the season. Good tackling, good chase, good go forward from the rookies. If our "experienced" right edge gets their you-know-what...

I spoke to Aku Saturday at the fan day and watched him (and Gagai) on Sunday night at Cbus Stadium. Both times he was distracted, disinterested and not at his best. Poor defensive reads and handling errors. We could do without him to be honest. Mamo or Ross could easily replace him considering...

I was at the game and rated Randell, Smith (oldest guy on the park), Sims in particular. Tackling was much improved on last year, one high, one low, often three in the tackle. Failed a bit on stopping second-phase play which hurt us. Chase on kick-off was excellent, with most of our guys down on...

I'll be there! Also at the supporters function at Jupiters - looking forward to it.

"Kalyn Ponga, the multi-sport superstar who is tearing the lower grades apart and has been compared to everyone from Thurston to Darren Lockyer." Sounds like the kiss of death for the poor bugger.... :lol: Sure, bring Coote in, but only if it's for a bargain price as he will probably be injured...

I'm pretty sure Mullen will start Round 1, but it seems like Brown is making sure that we have at least one healthy back up half for when our No7 and/or No6 needs time off through injury or rep duties. If Feeney nails down fullback, he provides a little more depth and there's Randell as well. I...

I think Mullen should be given the opportunity to prove himself in the opening rounds this year - he is certainly capable and should improve with Hodkinson at 7. If he doesn't then send him back to the reggies to have another think about it. I have no issues with Brown kicking his bum and...

Tapine has a right to accept or reject any offer put to him. Pity we've showed faith in him up until now and Brown has probably already pencilled him in for a starting spot. Interesting to see if Brown drops him to NSW cup for the year like he said he would.

Gidley denies everything until he's ready to announce it. That said, T-Rex is awesome WHEN he's in the mood. If we're after consistency this year, maybe he's not the best choice.

I have similar issues - my wife's supporter pack arrived in early December and two phone calls to Knights membership my pack has not arrived. During second phone call young lady informed me it would be 3 weeks before I got it - why 3 weeks? I don't live in Europe.

Ok. There's a lot of disagreement about who could replace Uate (assuming he's dropped). I agree we need better support for (any) winger, but they still have to be prepared to take on players one and one and stop them when required - just like full backs. What if you shifted Mamo to the wings and...

After watching the Nines, I'm still not convinced Uate should retain his starting spot in the team - as far as I could tell, he is still struggling with reading attacking plays and getting run in circles by opposition players. There are still fundamental flaws in other parts of his game, but it...

Johns has other commitments. Realistically, Joey didn't want it. He was offred an assistant position but turned it down. Sydney, media commitments and convenience always plays a role. If you offered it to Matty Johns you'd get the same response.

You're not alone. This is something I had to deal with every year and it's always been amateur hour. Last year I had THREE accounts EACH for both me and my wife, apparently, so I had to call them and get them to cancel the extra two. I also found out they had entered my birthdate as 2011 and...
