[Rupert Murdoch]

Are we seriously wearing the mining jerseys against the tigers again? I saw them advertise them yesterday

Oh thank****

The trauma of being a Knights supporter.

Knights rookie Fletcher Sharpe winging it in unfamiliar role

'It was something different.'

Article that says Sharpe has played wing in his senior debut for Cessnock last year "and some schoolboy stuff" but is basically learning on the job.

he did a fair job of it!

Yeah he hasn’t got the biggest frame but he’s just so elusive makes his metres by making them miss I was impressed

i was hopeful of seeing him and Armstrong on the two wings in a game. That would be exciting and great kick targets

Mapa has got food poisoning confirmed today from knights staff. But his replacement may come as a surprise. Will pryce is on standby to play centre at this stage if mapa doesn’t come good on time…

Bad for Map but a good opportunity for Pryce.

 

[Matty James]

I’m starting to think the Tigers are going to embarrass us on home soil.

 

[Billy]

Well if Jenkins doesn't get a game with Lucas out, he should be looking for an ESL team - his papers have been stamped.

 

[Joshhh]

I wonder why he's fallen so out of favour? Like yeah he was fairly anonymous but I don't think he was a liability or anything, kind of like Tuala. Maybe a couple dropped balls. To be left out still seems like he's unpopular with the staff for whatever reason.

Jenkins is not in the 22 man squad, they would need to get approval for him to be added to the squad.

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to say injuries and sickness to Lucas and Maps means we have no suitable replacement.

Goodness me, who will do the tackling from that side of the team?

 

[Roundtable]

Interesting watching the Sharks contest kicks..... after mostly watching Knights games I was thinking that wasn't allowed

Let's pray that Maps does not play. Both games he played I wanted to unplug my TV and put it out the front for collection.

Go back and read some game day threads he played in, he was pretty horrendous.

 

[Owey]

I know Mapa can play, I'm hoping he makes it on the field and gives a much better account of himself then we have seen.

It’s really weird, he’s fallen out of favour faster than Beau Henry did.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

He does play like he’s in his own head at the moment, very tentative. As Billy said the injuries have likely knocked him around confidence wise.

Definitely. Also the trial game, his first tackle. That would definitely be stuck in his head. Seems his very fragile around the head and it shows.
