NRL Round 23 - Knights Vs Panthers - 6:00pm Friday 8th August - McDonald Jones Stadium

It’d be a very Newcastle thing to select Arthur then not drop him/not give him a chance at a contract if he absolutely kills it.

 

[Beatell]

I think Arthur would be a great depth signing as a back up half. I honestly think he could be an NRL quality have at the right club. Id prefer him to Gamble and Cogger.

 

[krustykraz]

I'd imagine Dylan Brown would be keen to play with Arthur.
Or maybe he doesn't rate him.

 

[Alleycat]

Gamble looked so foolish and not having a real crack in that instance. That wasnt even NSW cup quality.

Not excusing it but have seen other players' performances, including KP, with below NSW cup standard. Gamble isn't alone there.

Agree.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Starters out
Ponga
Best
Sharpe
Lucas
Elliot
Jones

Hasn't Elliot been a massive disappointment, shame as when fit his a autopick.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Surely if playing Arthur it’s 7 not 6 and if so then Gamble would be better at 6 than Cogger.

I can already hear the media carrying on about another halves change.

Francis Manuleleua had a 75 fantasy point game in cup.
He has been playing right second row for the last few weeks - probably since we suspected Friz might go.
10 tackle breaks, 2 line breaks, an amazing try - but 5 missed tackles is a worry.
I could see the big guy get a bench spot.

It's ok, the ones that scream loudest about it usually end up sacked for one alcohol related incident or another.

 

[Tobe Fair]

I am thinking the Knights are going to win this one. I am so glad I don't gamble though.

I just don’t see it
Panthers will come out firing after a terrible game on the weekend

They didn't really have an all around terrible game though, they were up 24-0 at half time after all.

I can't see us getting close to them though and even if we do, the refs/bunker will get them home lol

 

[mozza]

Best is definitely back this week. We’ll need him because we struggled big time on the left edge defensively without him against Canberra.

 

[frankLauda]

I think the only thing that might saves us from getting the spoon could be our for and against. But hopefully we get a couple more wins.

 

[Alex]

Apparently Yeo may be rested for this game as he's carrying a shoulder injury

That's the best part. When you don't see a win and than it happens

 

[MattyM]

I never see a win and it never happens.

 

[Vagabond89]

Hastings and Gamble both getting dumped to cup, Arthur and Cogger in the halves.

Maybe Matt Arthur as 14?

 

[Newygirl]

Is this Manuleleua? Looks like he could be debuting
