NRL Round 17 - Knights Vs Tigers - 4:05pm Sunday, 28th of June - McDonald Jones Stadium

. This will be a close game and a good one for the neutrals! Cant believe Graeme won’t be on the bench. Gives us something every time he comes on. But, on paper, full strength I guess.

Think the fact that Sandon can play both halves and hooker makes him the perfect 14 and unfortunately for Graham he had a bit of a bludger last week and Sandon had a blinder so its as simple as that too
Plus sandons 5/5 goals is a bonus that we may need also

Agree on the last few games Graham hasn’t been great, so Sandon deserves the 14. But my concern for Sandon, is he a good dummy half? The limited games he has played there can’t say he was great. No doubt he’s great in the halves.

 

[Les Misérables]

Yea not exactly impressed by Sandon at 9. Looks a very average hooker so far in Knights colours.

 

[slotmachine]

He's only played about 30 minutes there over the season right? But yes, an ordinary looking 30 minutes.

 

[Tobe Fair]

Pretty sure Cant is the back up hooker. Smith is a back up half smith would not be put in the middle to tackle.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Crouch has earned a shot.
Manu out of the 19 is unlucky, but it was either him or Cant.

He will play big minutes in cup, just noticed Matt Arthur in the 14 at cup, with Graham and Hagan developing surely we release Arthur if he is signed with us next year.

One game I can definitely remember. That’s it? Maybe just needs more game time in that role.

But young Hagan is on his way through and is a specialist hooker and a good one at that.

 

[KPGreatness]

But young Hagan is on his way through and is a specialist hooker and a good one at that.

He will eventually take Grahams place I’d imagine

 

[jamesgould]

Very hard to judge Smith on just 30 minutes at hooker, when he’s mainly been playing in the halves, as well. So I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s got in that role over the next few weeks.

True true - but could mean Phoenix plays 80 at hooker because how good is Sandon at 9? And how else does he get on the pitch. Hopefully we don’t lose a half.

 

[frankLauda]

He will come on at hooker and replace Crossland at some point.

 

[mozza]

Weather forecast looking abit more promising now. Was worried how our style of footy would go in the wet but hopefully we won’t have to worry about it this week.

 

[Mclovin]

I was actually hoping for some wet weather footy, I think the tigers push that extra pass more than most teams and always hold the ball with 1 hand which I was hoping would mean more mistakes.

 

[frankLauda]

I think we are a much stronger side defensively with all hands on deck, specially Best, Brown and Lucus on the edges. The game we played them in round 6 we were missing KP, Brown and Best.

That was the game DeCourcey played in the centres, we leaked most for our points on that edge. Bradman a different story, gives me much more confidence that we win this game.
