ROUND 2 - Tigers V Knights - Sunday 12 March, 4:05pm - Leichhardt Oval

I don’t believe any coach would think having the smallest bloke on your team taking one out hit-ups so often is a good strategy.

I think he’s just the only one constantly putting his hand up for more runs so they give him the ball, same as Klemmer last year. Can’t knock the effort but it’s not well thought out.

There was a stat posted up in the off-season that Dave is 3rd in the NRL for the most tackle breaks in the last 15 years.
Can anyone guess the top 2?

Loving the Dave

 

[krustykraz]

Friz is clear to play.

Friz is clear to play.

Phew, thank you for the update

 

[Rear Admiral Butthead]

I asked chatGPT who I’ve tried to replace Siri with, who was leading the NRL premiership and it gave a glimpse into our certain future..

 

[jamesgould]

I just asked it about the Knights and it told me this:

The Newcastle Knights have been runners-up in the NRL Grand Final on two occasions. The first time was in 1998, when they lost to the Brisbane Broncos 36-22 in the Grand Final. The second time was in 2000, when they were defeated by the Brisbane Broncos again, this time by a score of 14-6.

Sounds about right to me, what’s your point hahaha.

 

[Quinny]

Would not mind Heatherington starting with JSAF to the bench, and let him just be the enforcer early.

 

[Owey]

Gamble in to the 17, replacing an injured Mann. Named as lock at this point.

We need another forward in the team, not a half.

 

[BTP]

Got

We need another forward in the team, not a half.

a feeling jones will come in for Crossland and Gamble bench. Hetherington or Johns to start. Need Leo on bench or starting FR

 

[JOJO82]

**** crossland off and bring in another forward

 

[HarVeeGee13]

If the team runs out as named serious questions need to be asked about Adam O’Brien.

About his sanity, I mean.

 

[slotmachine]

Lol, it's like he wants to fail

 

[what's that pong]

I don't know what obi can see at training that makes him pick this line up's but what I see ( an armchair coach) during the game I wouldn't be making the selections he does admittedly I haven't been involved in 4 grand finals tho

 

[Billy]

Gamble for Mann seems a like for like replacement.
I'd go for a forward - but if he wanted a utility at lock, Gamble for Mann doesn't change anything.

 

[krustykraz]

The only change i think Obi might make is Crossland to starting lock.

We can dream but we all know deep down that Obi will have Crossland and Gamble in the team

 

[HarVeeGee13]

If you’re starting Phoenix at lock you might as well send the whole team out with cyanide capsules.

 

[JOJO82]

What are the chances of AOB getting the sack after tigers beat us ?

 

[frankLauda]

Kiraz just scored a nice try for the dogs. Another one gone under AOB’s watch.
