Pre-Game Knights v Manly [Round 13, 2023]

[XV-1]

If Johns has another average game, that should be his last game for a while. He needs to spend time in Reggies.

He needs to be traded to the tigers

 

[StuBoot]

Yeah absolute joke that as soon as we hit some form we lose our players to origin. Surely the nrl has to re look at this again.

If we win it will be a great effort

Yep, ordinarily the Knights would be missing Ponga and Gagai as well as Friz, now we play them with two spurned players with a point to prove.

 

[StuBoot]

You're right it's outta left field. But I doubt it would be a Dylan Walker role, more likely a Bullemor role. Just take many hitups running hard each time, and tackle anything that comes near.
The fact he has jersey 14 is a further anomaly of course. Is there still doubt about Lawton? Or Johns?

No idea actually!

Hey, it could be a masterstroke.
At least if he plays in the middle he won't have to try to catch bombs or rush up and expose his wing.

Throw the safiti bros in there too!

They are short in that area. Sounds like a plan. lol

Yep , I’m expecting a Knights Masterclass

 

[Ben]

Yep , I’m expecting a Knights Masterclass

Pressure is all on the knights. They are playing horrible footy at the moment so I’m not too fussed they still have all their gun players for this game

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

If we lose it’ll be because no leadership direction around the park.

How do we pin that on DCE?

 

[47MVEagle]

Is Tuipulotu a smokey for either Arthur or GCKT coming onto the bench maybe?

 

[manlyfan76]

Good poll Q.
What quarter will Ponga go for a hia

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

If we lose it’ll be because no leadership direction around the park.

Johns was signed to cover for DCE during Origin, I don't think anyone expected he'd play as much NRL as he has so far this year. But it's all been to fill in at 5/8, and once off the bench.
His only game for us at half was the trial v Chooks, which we won. (Weekes was fullback, Schu 5/8 and Gordie hooker that day)

 

[The Royal Soup]

I think we win this, Manly we’re caught with there pants down last game against the knights when we had a draw.

It’s time for the children in this side to stand up and become men!

Yeh. Look for Ponga to have a blinder

 

[jbb/james]

Ive noticed over the years with the draw. When 2 teams play eachother within a short space of time quite often the result is reversed

 

[Mitch]

Yeh. Look for Ponga to have a blinder

Yep he certainly could - Although just as likely to go off early with a head knock. The bloke has played 6 games this season and come off for a HIA in 3 of those. Decent strike rate.

Thats true. What's the reverse of a draw though?

 

[Brooke]

So how does that work when it was a draw?

 

[Will on the hill]

Thats true. What's the reverse of a draw though?

The reverse of a draw is a draw, 2 points each. I've got 5 bucks on it.

 

[jbb/james]

ive never really noticed much about that stuff
