Round 1 : Newcastle Knights vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

[Still_Nutty]

Normally set up by RHugh89 but thought I'd create the basic thread for round 1...and I'll look to set up these for future rounds with more of the content that used to be included

Knights in a close one for mine.

Knights 20+

 

[Billy]

O'Brien will want to make a statement.
He won't be happy if we win by less than 2 tries, and will want to do better than that.

 

[packo]

Can handle a tough loss. Can’t handle us dishing up rubbish like we did in the last loss to them and all the other horrible losses against games we should win.

my biggest worry is Pearce. Followed by Hoy

 

[Kurriboy]

This should be a win if they are fair dinkum.

1st round home game, should be a good crowd. Not like they are playing a heavyweight of the comp.

These are the games we need to bank.

 

[mozza]

Feeling more confident than I was. Our forwards should roll theirs. Hoping Brailey, Pearce and Mann can put some points on.

HIA reserve

20. Daniel Ticehurst,

Looks like reserve grade are going to use the rule the juniors use. Anyone who goes off for HIA stays off for the game and the 18th man joins the bench. In the juniors the HIA player is also ruled out for the next week as well, but not sure if they'll do that.

Billy: Is this game televised anywhere?

Billy: Is this game televised anywhere?

They only seem to be live streaming one game a week - this week Norths v Blacktown 1.10 PM tomorrow.

 

[Lefty]

Thanks mate

 

[MattyM]

We really need to snap this Canterbury hoodoo at home, or actually just against them in general would be good. The last few games against them have been deadset ugly. Hopefully we can see players like Best, Hoy, Friz, Brailey, Klem and the Saf’s have crackers and we can put on a show for a great Newy crowd. Knights 1-12.

Might get a storm just before kickoff.

 

[Lefty]

Hunt and Sue starting and Sue will play lock.

I really like these changes

 

[Frank McWilliams]

Watson to bench is good move, keep him fresh for later on, happy for Hunt sorry for Schibs, will wait and see how Sue goes

 

[jamesgould]

Glad Watson isn't starting at lock, that really scared me. Quite a few crucial troops down .. should get it done at home, but I don't expect a smashing.

 

[OnTilt]

Sue moving to lock is a surprise they have been saying for a year and a bit now Watson will be playing lock.
I wonder if Barny will end up back there when fitz is back.

Keen to see how ol Peggy goes
