Whoops I forgot to make that a new paragraph. I just seen the username(mullenmagic) and dreamt about the possibility.

Says dropping Hastings was ballsy but the right move because he is off the pace for the first two rounds and Cogger should bring more energy.
Says the club is not rushing to sign Gags because they don't think other clubs will sign him and they are thinking about how big a paycut from his current 550k he would accept.
Says Frizzel lost 5kg during the Cowboys game and many others lost 3kg. Says Ponga looked Cooked after the game and the team was on the first plane out of there the next morning.

If only we had a 6 that could pass, kick and run as good as Jarrod....imagine the field day KP would have.

That’s crazy and explains a lot which I didn’t consider…
A few years ago I was doing MMA training which would go for an hour. I was the fittest I’d been in my life BUT I only had 20 mins max before I was wrecked. Would spend the rest of the lesson just moving and learning, no wrestling or fighting. I can forgive these guys for looking like zombies after an hour with little rest time… just hope there’s not too many hot and humid games left for them.
It doesn’t bode very well for this week’s game, they’ll probably still be knackered.

They'll be ok. Smashing the aminos and proteins. We ARE winning this week

Yeah, that's a worry. They really fell away at the back end of that game. Hopefully well and truly recovered for the Melbourne game. Other AOB will be using that as their excuse!

Says we need to "awaken the giant" to beat the Warriors - Daniel Saifiti.
Says Pryce needs to work on his defence but showed great signs in attack in reserves.
Says Fletcher Sharpe started last week by impersonating Papenhausen at Knights training, even wearing the headband, but ended the week in hospital on antibiotics for "infected boils."
Says we are no closer to filling our 30th roster spot - Oates is off the table.
Says Hastings couldn't have done more in reserves.
Toohey's News: why Knights need to awaken the giant against Warriors
Barry Toohey: He played just 30 minutes of last Sunday's win.

Yes, by definition all boils are a bacterial infection of a hair follicle, so it's an odd way to describe them.Infected boils?

Toohey makes a fairly good case that Daniel was our best forward a few years ago and gives examples of when he dominated some big name props.
My observation of the twins over the years is that they are both slow starters to the season and need to build up match fitness. I'd say this is the best start to the season for both of them I've seen and if they stay fit they should go to a new level soon, based on previous years.
Happy with JSaff this year , have yet to see anything with DSaff that makes me think the giant is going to wake up . Been asleep for a couple of years

Ponga is not the highest paid NRL player this year. His contract drops to a tiny $1.2 mill for this year, with several players on the same or more, but rises to $1.5 mill for the next 3 years.
Wests are spending money on juniors in upper hunter, mid north coast and central coast in a bid to win back those areas.
Lucas made a strong case for inclusion in the backs at the expense of Jenkins with a strong game at centre v Warriors.

Huh, I wonder why we did that, trying to fit someone in the cap? Who comes off contract this year to add money back to KP's contract?

TOOHEY'S NEWS: Kalyn Ponga no longer top dog on pay scale
It comes after earning $1.4 million to top the list last year.
