Honestly, after all the terrible performances this year and all of the ******** happening off the field, I would be really surprised if there's a decent crowd there this weekend. Hopefully no Knights fans/members even bother turning up.

What's the drum on Oryn, Billy?

Having a great year in Ball and Flegg this year.
Not a big guy for a second row, but very strong and fit.
He won't be able to do it in seniors, but if he gets the ball 10 metres from the line in Flegg there's a pretty fair chance he won't be stopped.
One of the best on field in the under 19s SOO game.
A couple of our wins in Flegg this year came down to Keeley being unstoppable at that level.
I don't expect him to do much if he gets a run in firstgrade at 18, but give him a firstgrade off season and he might be ready next year.

I went to watch a game of Flegg a month or so ago and Keeley had played reserve grade the day before, but he showed up and played.
He looked very stiff and sore and limped through a game where the team nearly lost to a team well out of the 8, but right towards the end of the game Keeley got the ball 10 out and scattered three defenders to score the try that got us going. After that they took him off.

Thanks mate that's brilliant
 
Strange to make Mapapalangi go back and play Flegg before debuting in first grade but good luck to the kid, as we've seen defensively the bar could practically not be set any lower and there's nothing to play for so no pressure for him.

This is not what I intended when I remarked that the Saifitis should stay starting together, that is one of the biggest starting middle thirds I have seen and definitely the biggest in the comp at the moment. I don't hate it as the game isn't so open to begin with so we should be alright mobility wise while Safs + Klem aren't fatigued, it does put a lot of pressure on Croker/Saulo/Sasagi to maintain the start and I'll be very interested to see how the rotations work.

Don't really see the point in playing Milf or Hoy now, maybe one more win to put us out of spoon territory but after that we don't really gain anything by them playing the season out. Getting increasingly worried by Gags immunity as well, perhaps this was influenced by the Best/Tuala saga but if we see another performance like last week it'll be ridiculous if he's kept in the side.

I'm fronting up with my daughter to watch the 1st game of the season for the Knights NRLW team...Knights were pretty clever putting it on after the NRL game...hoping the NRLW drawcard game will bump up the numbers for the secondary game on before it😉
 
Triple header from 1.30 till 8pm, but I don't know why anyone would want to watch reserve grade. With us not wanting to weaken Flegg and injuries to Talty and Rugless, we have named the weakest reserve grade side in memory - even weaker than the one that lost by 60 last week.

The Flegg game would be great to watch - maybe the strongest team of the season and coming off our best win of the year last week - but they are playing at number 2 sportsground on Saturday as a standalone game.
