From training today. A more convincing action shot than the one from a few weeks ago for Hastings but Ponga's doesn't give anything away.

Well at least he can still walk.
 
Miller is a complete liability in defence and offers nothing in attack that Gagai can't do better. Way more comfortable with Tuala defending opposite Wighton than I am with Miller at fullback.
 
I don’t think Miller is as bad as what’s being made out but he is pretty error prone. I do worry about him having a total shocker that’d contribute to a loss. It’s a non issue though because Ponga will be there on Sunday.

Barry Toohey mentioned Dave Gagai doesn’t train during the week and he needs injections in his foot to get on the field. It will be a big ask of him to play fullback for the 80. If Miller does ends up at fullback on Sunday then the coaching staff needs to pull him aside. Keep it simple and tell him he doesn’t need to be the hero. IMO Miller tries too hard which leads to silly errors.

i think gags has been having issues with his foot and having injections most weeks the last month or so. 4 more weeks of pain please gags
 
If you go on the Knights Facebook page they have a "Reel" on there which has a video of the pictures poster earlier including Ponga. It's only brief but he's throwing a pass. He's also obviously not in a no contact bib. Does look from the screenshot I took that there could be some padding on it though. Signs are positive.

Clune 18th man. Is Hastings still in some doubt? I thought Lucas would be 18th man as he is bit more versatile?
 
If we’re serious about doing something in the Finals we win and win well. That Raiders side is pretty average.
