After that embarrassing 66-10 at the end of last year, I’d like to see them return the favour and put a big score on them, particularly if Pezet is going to replace Moses.

Good chance for them to improve that For and Against

Article in the Herald this morning (Max McKinney article) says it takes 12 or 13 wins to make the finals.
At the halfway point of the season we have 7 wins, so need 5 or 6 more to make the finals.
Says we have 13 more games.
We have 7 home games.
We play 5 sides currently in the top 8 and 8 sides currently outside the top 8.
Says we have 2 more byes and need to improve our F and A to have any chance to get in with only 5 wins.
In short - we might get in with 5 wins - we should get in with 6 wins - we will get in with 7 or more wins.

How many more games will the Knights have to win to make the finals?

Newcastle are halfway home in terms of reaching the play-offs.

I'm not claiming to be a Math's professor, but when did Rd 12 mark the seasons halfway point

Moses sent for scans, now he’s no chance of backing up

It’ll be Pezet at 7

That's huge news tbh

So the firstgrade training today have Hunt, Cant, Schiller, Manuleleua, Hopwood, Graham

Reserve grade training today, De Courcy, McCarthy, Crouch, Votano

Close enough

Based on that McCarthy won’t be centre in firsts so will likely be Hunt with Sharpe at FB

24 rounds actually played with 3 byes brings the season up to 27 rounds, so 12 is the halfway point.

Unless I completely go that all wrong ?

Na, doesn't work. We've played 11 games which still don't make half of 24.

The article

The first sentence of the article says "not quite at the halfway point, but halfway to the finals."
The Parra game is the 12th of 24 - so halfway on Saturday, and hopefully with 8 of 12 in the bank.
