Round 18: Newcastle Knights vs Sydney Roosters

[Billy]

Buhrer has done nothing wrong, but Jake Saifiti had his best game of the year last week and is pushing hard for a spot.
it's a good problem to have.

 

[krustykraz]

I really hope Moga has a go.
If he takes this chance with both hands he could be really handy in the run to the finals.

It might also get him a contract elsewhere for next year or he could possibly be a good centre for us in 2020.

Kind of seeing Moga missing out. Sione to center to mark Latrell and Buhrer to 2rf, J.Saifiti bench?

Isn't Ramien marking Latrell?

you could be right

I'd feel more confident with Hunt marking Latrell over Ramian or Sione tbh.

 

[Hughburt6]

Ramien vs latrel will be interesting
The pairing everyone thought would play for nsw at the start of the year

 

[josh2010]

Barry Toohey says he expects no changes. So J.Saifiti and Lino miss out

 

[Beaumont]

I'm thinking we'll get a cricket score put on us. Usually I think we can win every week but today worries me.

Might be a good sign considering we've lost the past couple of games lol

I'd have more success picking fly poo out of pepper with boxing gloves on than tipping a winner anywhere.

 

[packo]

expecting a determined Knights side. Don’t forget Roosters have been bad also.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

The battle of the forwards is mouth watering.

 

[alexwilliams]

Could be the final showdown of Cronk vs Pearce

 

[Billy]

Reserve grade has Lino in and Jake Saifiti out, so JSaf is at least 18th man.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Nuts if we don't play Safiti over Buhrer its crazy we need all the size we can get against those beast Rooster forwards.

On another note has Buhrer ever played NSW cup when his missed the 17?

He has played Nsw cup this year

 

[Grandpa Joe]

We line up 1-17.

 

[kurtgodley]

Holy crap the game is on at 3pm??! I thought we had the 5.30 game haha. Yesssss don't have to wait another 3 hours

 

[JOJO82]

I'm scared, this might get ugly.
