NRL Round 11 - Knights Vs Titans - 2:00pm Sunday, 17th of May - Suncorp Stadium - MAGIC ROUND!!!

[Jon Snow]

Far out Bradman gets a lot of leg injuries. What are his average games per season, good player when playing, but certainly wouldn’t be overpaying to re sign him.

 

[Wagyu Patty]

If Ponga is out too we can only assume

1. Sharpe
6. Smith
7. Brown
14. Graham

Which still leaves us in pretty good stead

 

[Wagyu Patty]

Club has just confirmed Best will miss approximately three matches.

So aiming to be back after the second bye.

You'd think McCarthy would be on the plane with Schiller if Ponga is even in doubt. Would be risky without a 20th man.

 

[Mclovin]

Its a big loss defensively, our attack should be okay that side but we have a pretty strong right side we can just go down.

 

[Mclovin]

At least it's not the worst time to have an injury

Think Titans game plan will be to through plenty at Hunt & Marz

 

[mozza]

It’s a huge loss not only because of Best’s quality but our lack of depth. Titans can bank on an extra 2 or 3 tries on that edge without Best there.

FFS....what's with injuries always happening to us, over this crap.

That's where they will be heading

Surely if D is that bad putting Hunt in then we’ll make last minute switch to Lucas dropping in with Manu to replace him. Seems like a tighter solution. Although I’m also ok with the rocks and diamonds of Hunt. We’ll score more points than the boobies

 

[Sarge]

They always used to attribute a lot of Best early leg problem to growing pain.You would think they H/P staff would be all over his problems by now . Does still get injured a lot

 

[Newygirl]

Jesus Christ, well it was fun while it lasted. A massive 2 games

Yeah if KP can put Hunt into space , the big lanky thing will be hard to stop. Interesting to see how he goes with a few better player around him

 

[JOJO82]

We are going to struggle with getting that quick tip on pass out to Marzhew if he's playing, Hunt doesn't have that pass.

 

[Grug]

Whatever the knights are doing in training over the last few years the physio needs to have a good look at how it affects Best’s legs. Ridiculous how many leg injuries he gets for a player his age.

Agreed, they need to do their job, injuries happen sure but Best seems to get a lot of leg stuff.

I wonder if they are being proactive or reactive on Best the evidence seem to point to reactive.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

So serious question. Is Manu a better left side 2nd rower than Hunt is as centre.
Would it be better with Lucas at centre and Hunt on bench covering multiple positions.

I think so
