[Ralphie]

This game will be a big test for us. Brisbane is a genuinely rubbish team and although I thought we were pretty strong, I didn't take much from the game because of how weak the opposition was.

By contrast Newcastle seemed pretty strong, albeit also against pretty weak opposition. I think we will get a pretty solid gauge on our form after this weekend.

If we win this game, then I am very confident of winning the next 4 weeks against the Titans R3, Tigpies R4, Dogs R5 & Sharkies R6 to be 6-0.

Brookie to bring Knights back to earth

The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are relishing the opportunity of hosting current ladder leaders Newcastle Knights in the Return to Brookvale Sunday night.
The Knights produced an eye-catching performance on Monday night against the Tigers, thumping Mick Potter’s men 42-10.
But Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans isn’t concerned about playing against a red-hot Newcastle side, instead taking it as an opportunity to test out his teammates.
“I’m definitely excited about the prospect of playing a side that’s just come off a good win.” Cherry-Evans said.
“Their forwards were really dominant and I think it’s going to be a good match up for our forward pack as well.”
Sea Eagles defensive machine Matt Ballin is similarly looking forward to putting his shoulders on the line and bringing the high flying Knights back down to earth at Brookvale Oval.
was impressed with fresh Newcastle recruits Jeremy Smith and Beau Scott, saying they'll be on his rafa on his radar after Monday's game.
“I was really impressed with their forwards, in particular Mason and a few of their younger guys and Jeremy Smith and Beau Scott,” he said.
“Kurt Gidley was great as well. It’s a big challenge for us and its great to be home at Brookvale playing on a Sunday.”
The home ground advantage proved immense between the Sea Eagles and the Knights last season, with both posting big scores against the other in front of their faithful.
Sea Eagles head coach Geoff Toovey is making no assumptions however, expecting both sides' first round momentum to carry onto the field.
"Our players have been very focused, I think you saw that in their performance on the weekend. We need to do that again this weekend.
"Newcastle are on top of the comp now, after their big victory over the Tigers so they'll be coming down to Brookvale full of confidence and we need to be just as confident."

I can't believe I didn't get that. I even googled it. lol

2:31pm: Talkin' Teams: Knights coach Wayne Bennett has named an unchanged line-up for this Sunday's clash with Manly. Jarrod Mullen will play for the Knights despite suffering a hand injury in the 42-10 thrashing of the Wests Tigers last night. He was brilliant for the Knights last night, so too was Darius Boyd. I know it's only round one but Knights fans have every right to be excited about their premiership aspirations this year. And what about Dane Gagai, is he the most improved player in the NRL?

Knights: 1. Darius Boyd, 2. James McManus, 3. Dane Gagai, 4. Anthony Quinn, 5. Akuila Uate, 6. Jarrod Mullen, 7. Kurt Gidley (c), 8. Kade Snowden, 9. Travis Waddell, 10. Willie Mason, 11. Beau Scott, 12. Chris Houston, 13. Jeremy Smith. Interchange: 14. Tyrone Roberts, 15. Neville Costigan, 16. Robbie Rochow, 17. Alex McKinnon, 18. David Fa’alogo

3:29pm: Talkin' Teams: Manly coach Geoff Toovey has named an unchanged side and has added new recruit from the Sydney Roosters, Tom Symonds, to an extended bench. Jason King is a chance of returning from injury against the Knights on Sunday, despite not being named.

 

[Fluffy]

give kingy another week of rest.

we have the big boppers to cover injury this year

 

[Eagles2nv]

I think we might see Symonds debut this week. I assume they will replace gower or sene-lafao.

Or is question over chocs fitness?
