Pre-Game Knights v Manly [Round 5, 2022]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Hmm, let's see now... we've got the most in-form kicker in the game.
We've got the 2 fastest sprinters in the game...
So might be time for a couple of specials, like that great Saab try vs Warriors in our first win last year. No reason why not!

Hear latest from Des

First two minutes Des is praising Koula who trained in fullback role all off season.

Parker still in the picture for tomorrow - depending on covid test outcome.

I only have 2 fears about tomorrow night ...

Bradman Best and Gagai ..

Best is struggling in first grade, with a low work rate. Watch him closely Woodsie and I think you’ll agree. Poor defender, pretty good at running over blokes near the line.

Yup hard to imagine a late switch with Garrick at FB after Des's comments. The kid deserves his shot for the entire period Turbo is out. Great learning curve for him and may unearth a talent simultaneously.

Koula is unfortunately out tomorrow night. Garrick to FB Tuipolotu to the wing and PRker in the centres.

 

[Remy]

Koula got some niggles. Unfortunate, but short turnaround, what to do.

 

[skeagle]

fark is it injured or covid, feel bad for him

Team as predicted by most. Garrick is not a fullback , we will be down 250 meters and 25 carries already.

Unfortunate, but it will be good to have Tuipulotu rucking the ball from our end if conditions are heavy. However, I think all the bombs will directed to Saab's wing. Clifford has a good kicking game. I am surprised that Walker is playing. If not, it will be Burbo or Bullemor replacing him.

I think the Saifiti-Saifiti v Aloiai-Taupau battle will have a big bearing on the result of the game.

Bugger I was looking forward to that !!

Team as predicted by most.

Not really, those who didn't think Koula would play fullback had him on the wing or centre (if Parker was out). Nobody knew that Koula would be unavailable for the game.

Did the team bus run over a Chinaman in Mudgee...God help us!

Did I hear right not long ago on the radio that Ponga and Frizzel are out. That would even out things.
