Tyrone Thompson in a knee brace in a recent social media post by one of the lads.

Just seen other post and apparently it's Leo. So never mind

Any update on selection, front row, in light of injuries to Saf and Leo, might sit one or two out looking fwd to next week

They haven't updated the side yet - 2pm should be when we see the starting side.

 

[Billy]

The Flegg side just got updated and Fletcher Hunt and Hoad are both out, so I expect a back and a hooker might be out of NSW Cup. Maybe Arthur is being rested for firstgrade - or just not ready yet

 

[Les Misérables]

Henson Park, I'll head over and watch it

 

[Billy]

Cant is out and Jones isn't in - so I assume they are being saved for firstgrade
Votano is out, replaced by Hunt at fullback

 

[Billy]

20. Fletcher Hunt (was Votano)
2. Logan Aoake
3. Kyle McCarthy
4. Riley Jones

7. Liam Sutton
16. Callan Burgess
9. Matt Arthur

commentator saying the oldest player in the Knights side is 23 - Riley Jones I suppose

 

[Billy]

Knights 0 - 6 Newtown - try scored by Knights junior Jake Crouch

 

[Billy]

0 - 12
The young forwards are trying hard, but being outmuscled - both Newtown Props have a try near the posts - just barge overs

90m intercept try for Aoake. Lucky because we haven't looked likely otherwise.

McEwen looks to be playing as a ballplaying lock through the middle, could be something to watch for the future.

 

[Billy]

6 - 12
Aoake took an intercept and ran the length of the field - jogged the last 15

 

[Billy]

6 - 18 - all 3 Newtown middles have crashed over near the posts

 

[Les Misérables]

Matt Arthurs' defence is very good. He was close to preventing that last crash over 1v1 on their prop. Nearly had the ball wrapped up

 

[Billy]

Knights winger off injured - looks like Jacob Davis went on to play wing

Yeah Taukamo got carried off, didn't look good.

 

[Billy]

Riley Jones and Newtown winger both in the bin after 2 set to's in 5 minutes - Jones may have been accused of an eye gouge

6 - 18 at halftime
Lot of aggro coming into the game - Newtown not liking or young guys having a go back at them

 

[Billy]

12 - 18
great lead up by McCarthy and Davis leads to an ESL try under the posts

 

[Billy]

16 - 18
Arthur puts in a crossfield kick - McCarthy leaps and bats it back to Davis who scores

Boys are on fire - McCarthy, McEwen, Bryan and Greacen all going hard

 

[Les Misérables]

Kyle McCarthy having a very strong game. Definitely next-up of the backs.
