Whilst Koula is a blow, there’s absolutely no excuse to not come away with a win against Newcastle.
We have a stronger forward pack and it’s a no contest when comparing both sets of halves.
This should also be a game we need to see a confident Turbo.
The Knights have been playing with heart...
I'd be surprised if we don't see Harper. It's the least level of disruption to the team, as opposed to moving Garrick to centres where is is untested, mate.
I encourage everyone to have a watch of this - very raw and takes ownership of that dropped ball. Knows the only way to fix it is to show it in his performances upcoming.

I actually see the knights win today as a bit of a positive leading into next week - it ensures the boys don’t underestimate them at all.
Our boys will be stinging after last night’s result, play a consistent 80 minutes to what we’re capable of and we should be able to bank another two...
Minimal match fitness, high level heat and a quality opposition.
The boys were gassed and it showed with their defense, but that will improve dramatically.
Much happier with the attack and we left points out there.
The Captains Run story is brilliant!
Jamie Lyon: How would you rate your performance in that session out of 10?
Parks: Probably about a 2 out of 10
Jamie Lyon: Where the F$@k did you get those 2?!
Really hoping the boys can build some momentum out of Round 1.
Also don’t underestimate the effect Brad Parker’s 100th game will have on the team.
I doubt you’d find a more well liked member of the squad, so they’ll want to get a win for him.
