NRL Round 1 - Knights Vs Cowboys - 1:15pm Sunday 1st March (AEDT) - Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas

[Kurriboy]

Ok, so according to the fox site, the halves pairing IS actually a legacy call which Holbrook had nothing to do with:

For what it’s worth, The Daily Telegraph’s Brent Read said O’Brien made the “right call”, arguing Sharpe is too good a player to leave on the wing or out of the team and that Ponga can help relieve the pressure on Brown to lead the team.

Yeah I'm not buying it. More clickbait generating trash from them.

No chance you bring in a new coach, go through all pre season, and then tell the coach you HAVE to pick these 2 players in the halves position.

Does that make any logical sense.

I thought it was a typo and they meant to write Holbrook.

 

[Owey]

PLEASE PEOPLE, it was a typo and I quoted it here as a joke. I can categorically say that Adam O'Brien DID NOT pick our team for this week.

 

[Mclovin]

I can categorically say that Adam O'Brien DID NOT pick our team for this week.

Or did he

 

[Hititup]

What do you mean by legacy call?

If any truth to this, it's a legacy call made by POS

 

[HarVeeGee13]

You’ve let the cat out of the bag Owey and the whole house of cards has come down like a bunch of dominoes. Check mate.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

Just give us a game that when it’s over we are generally happy with the result, win, lose or draw and we are looking forward to the rest of the season

Croker comes into the starting side for Frizell, not Mooney. Unchanged otherwise.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

Croker looks like he should be twice as effective as he is. Would rather the X Factor.

Don’t mind it just to split the crap bench and the ok starting side. Frizell might just try and stay on the the entire final 60 minutes.

 

[KPGreatness]

Croker is a decent ball playing lock, he was miss-profiled by our last coach as a prop (which at the NRL level he never should have been) I suspect he did the switch so Frizell and Saulo can come on as props since without Frizell we were looking light when the prop rotation came into play.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Bingo KPG.

 

[JOJO82]

Saulo needs to seriously have a massive game when he comes on, he has been so poor whenever he wears the Knights jersey.

 

[Tobe Fair]

Knights will win today and win easy. A few people are underestimating Browns ability. Sharpe to come back after a huge injury will be a test. We lost three games to the fact we dont have a good goal kicker. Brown will organise the team better then it has been for some time. Brown also has a kicking game which we haven't had for years.

I was really hoping Ennis wouldn't be commentating with his new commitments

LESSSGOOOOOO!

He won't leave unless he becomes a head coach.

 

[CornChippy]

Man I hope we see some points flowing for the Knights today. I'm hyped af

 

[danknights]

I can't help but be excited. Footy is back! Let's get us a W!!!!

 

[jamesgould]

Dammit, feeling hope lol.
