Round 12 - Sharks V Knights - Saturday 20 May 3:00pm - C.ex Coffs International Stadium

[Lefty]

Can the Knights continue their good form against the Sharks?

Sportsbet currently has the Sharks at $1.31 and the Knights at $3.50.

 

[frankLauda]

That seems a bit long I think. It’s a big boost for us the game is on Coffs (neutral) ground.

 

[what's that pong]

While the sharks may well beat us comfortably they have no been great in 2023 we should be in thsi game.

 

[frankLauda]

They have had an up and down season thus far

 

[mozza]

Just need to bring the effort we have for the majority of the season and we can make a game of it. Cronulla have been up and down abit this year. Hopefully they’re down abit this weekend.

 

[Kurriboy]

Just keep up the physicality and intent is all I ask.

 

[Billy]

So we have had the boys training hard all preseason and all season so far.
They have been playing strong, but looked cooked in the Parra game.
We gave them a rest and they came back and knocked off a top 8 side with our top score in years and with a really strong 2nd half serge.
so are they fit enough yet?
Is it time to ease up on the fitness training and let them go into each game as fresh as possible and just maintain fitness through match play?

 

[frankLauda]

Training loads must play a crucial role throughout a season. Trent Robinson seems to fluctuate that through the season. Bellamy is know for pushing the team hard.

 

[frankLauda]

Be a fine line I’d say. AOB would be taking notes with how the boys train and react.

 

[Billy]

only changes are Hetherington to 10, Thompson to 13 and Jack Johns replaces Dylan Lucas in 18.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

So Johns likely 18th man and Lucas to Johns spot in Cup. Nice to have a settled side, no new injuries

[mozza]

Nice to roll out the same 17 again. Even nicer to have a quality bench with plenty of impact.

 

[frankLauda]

Adam Elliot will be better for the run too.

 

[JOJO82]

Is it just me or has hetherington been a big softy?

 

[krustykraz]

What was Mann's injury?

 

[BETTERTHANLEGO]

Im glad this game is up at Coffs the area desperately needs some cash injected, I think the nrl are missing a trick by not going a north coast team plenty of good footy players up there.

 

[BETTERTHANLEGO]

What was Mann's injury?

Abductor wasn’t it?

 

[danknights]

Desperate? My boss sinks 100s of thousands into the place yearly. How much more do they bloody want?

 

[Battler]

Yeah there's plenty of money at Coffs, and crackheads.
