NRL Round 9 - Knights Vs Rabbitohs - 2:00pm Sunday, 3rd of May - McDonald Jones Stadium

Would they risk bringing back players early and possibly get them to aggravate the injuries further? Surely they can't be that dumb

Wow!! Fletcher Sharpe is really the golden child. The only player who can play ordinary and still get picked.

I don’t want to hear anymore comments about Sharpes knee, he is clearly fine to play. He picks him over Sandon who has been doing a fine job.

I want to see Sandon given a chance to play with Kalyan and Brown in the same team. Sharpe doesn’t know how to engage the defensive line, he just catches and passes.

I hope Sandon finds a new club. Because this staff believes a makeshift half is better than him.

This favouritism for Sharpe has to stop. Pick the best players in their best position. Dylan Brown 6 Sandon smith 7 and Kalyn 1.

Sharpes best position is close to the action picking his opportunities. This is exactly where you see the best of the kid. I’ve had about as much of Sandon being tackled with ball before the last that I can stomach. What good is a half if he’s still dusting grass off his knees from the play before he’s most valuable?

Anyways, great team! Hope they can pick up where they left off when they were all together last.
 
I think Souths are a much better matchup for us than Penrith obviously but also helped with the return of several key players.

Regardless of who wins, I'm expecting a defence-less affair and a lot of tries scored.

It's one of the random accounts that popped up a few years ago to obsess over David Armstrong and throw tantrums about people thinking Sharpe was better. Still pops in occasionally to directly or indirectly take a jab at him and nothing else. Genuinely funny.

You’re a funny lad. It’s funny that you went quiet after the panthers game. Are you related to Sharpe? Because you never mention anything when he plays a bad game.

You keep going on about Armstrong, he has left the club mate. Let it go! I supported Armstrong because he’s a country kid, and I happen to be a county lad. I know how hard it is to make it when you’re from the country.

I say stuff about Sharpe because most people on here give him a pass like he’s Andrew John’s. He’s probably a nice bloke. I just don’t rate him as a half. I’m allowed an opinion. I pay good money to be a member, so I’ll have my say.
 
I think Smith can feel a little hard done by. He’s performed well, done his job and back to 14. But, I’m still excited to see part 2 of what Sharpe, Brown and Ponga can conjure up together.

I’m a little curious to see if Smith or Graham comes on to relieve Phoenix. I’ve enjoyed Graham’s impact the last few weeks.

Sharpe has definitely been a bit off. But interested to see how he goes this week.

As for the Mooney chat, personally I think he’s getting a pass mark, few solid games, few “okay” games.
I think he’s just a very fit, big imposing figure that has potential to be such an alpha. I would love to see him wind up off the back fence. Just once. I think he’d surprise himself. Instead he kind of reminds me a bit of Yeo. Fancies himself as a bit of a ball player I think. I’ve been a bit preoccupied watching other things, but I did notice he generally runs his lines pretty well, just doesn’t get the ball to get the “run”. Seems to defend his space pretty well too. Keen to see him improve throughout the season
 
So assuming Sandon will come on at hooker? We all know he’s not the greatest defender so how does that work. We have actually never seen this happen when Sharpe got injured in Vegas! Wow just wow. lol
 
Well a full strength side! Only other time was the first 20 in Vegas! Will it take time to gel I wonder? Even with Ponga out most of the preseason they all seem to gel extremely well in the 1 1/2 games DB and KP played together. How good would it be if we win this game. I would have preferred the Titans or Dragons game before this one for the boys to get some reps on easier teams.
 
Full strength team looking deadly for this weekend. In recent years teams have only been worried about ponga in attack double teaming him but now with brown playing some top notch footy it’s going to be hard to stop. We leaked all our tries on the inexperienced left side that is now full strength. If the forwards turn up for the game and we have ponga getting his hands on the ball with early ball to best, Lucas McEwen, browns kicking game (some torpedo bombs) and the pace on the wings. If we can compete our sets and let the bunnies make the mistakes there’s no doubt in my mind we can win this game.

Well I'll would have to disagree with every word you have written. I like Smith but the Brown Sharpe combo offers so much more. Watching a game with both eyes open would allow you to see more.
