So Ramien's shoulder was only a minor strain he'll be right no doubt next week. Thursday he'll be there. Come Sunday not playing. He was never going to be right. This week he was almost right last week he'll definitley be right this week. Not named in team. We're working on him. If he's not right Sione will be center. We'll leave the call up to Ramien. Do me favour. If ever you find me wounded don't call the Knights staff.

Media staff? Or Doctors? Lol

He'll be playing, probably 95% fit but will play.

Glad to see Sione mentioned in the forwards " rotation " that says bench and coming on at lock :applause:

Im glad i had a chat with Browny a few weeks ago about this move and he listened to me hahahaha

Coming off the bench, I'd expect him to play maybe 30 to 35 minutes.
Coming on 15 before half time.

Victor Radley seems to be doing ok at lock atm.

Brandon Smith is exactly what id hope to see from Sione at lock.
Tough hard running up the middle with quick leg speed and nugget build.

Victor Radley has been playing hooker.

He won’t last the game. He is the most broken player in NRL

It's interesting him, Watmough, King, Matai, Brett Stewart and too a degree Glenn who were all part of Haslers experiments in the supliments never seemed to get fit after it.
 
Saw a TV report that said the biggest surprize in the Bulldogs selections was Lewis getting dropped and Cogger still playing.
They can't have been watching games.
Lewis literally does 2 bad things for every 1 good thing. He looks good when something he does works, but most times it doesn't.

I think Lewis is a bit over-hyped at the moment, perhaps unfairly. He has potential to be very good, but he's also been thrown in to first grade early and is carrying the weight of Dogs' fans' hopes that he's a star. I can empathise with that as Dogs are going through what we are just coming out of and they're looking for some silver lining. But I agree that Cogger is the better of the two at the moment.

Cogger has been going very nicely for them and like hunt for us, it's hard to drop a player that is getting the job done.

Cogger should keep improving and has already proved he has what it takes.

Knightime, unfortunately Lewis isn't the only one being over hyped at the moment in the media and it is to the detriment of these developing individuals long term when they don't live up to the expected potential that is heaped onto them in the media as they are the first to expose the deficiencies as soon as the are exposed.

You only need to look at the effect it has had on the Broncos , their Young Guns can only put one game together in a calendar month, it takes time, experience and proper development to attain the skill set and physical attributes to produce solid games week in , week out.

We as Knights fans are not out of the woods yet, there is a way to go before our young guns reach their potential and the team performs consistently solid on a weekly basis.

I've always thought he looks like a more skillful version of Josh Reynolds, but definitely not a top shelf half. He makes a lot of effort mistakes & they are always made even worse when coming from someone in a losing side.
 
Buhrer and Lino are out of the squad.
Saulo and Ramien are 18th and 19th at this stage.

Lewis is their Brock Lamb good on Cogger for going well.
 
Nervous for how we have handled expectation in the past...
Believe this team is the best we've had in since early 2000's so surely we can win and win well
 
Both kingy and saulo warming up anyone know the final team. Just had a look kingy and saulo not playing they must have taken two reserves up.
