No rests. We can’t afford that luxury.

 

[Ryan]

Heard on radio this morning that Des has covid.
Not sure what effect that will have on this game.
Hopefully players have been keeping their distance.

Might get a proper bench rotation ! Jokessss

No Parker in either grade. Re-injured, or being rested?

 

[40 nil]

No Parker in either grade. Re-injured, or being rested?

Apparently, he came off after 40 minutes last week....

 

[WiseyEagle]

Surely, Aloiai should be in the starting side?? Yes he definitely should be, and don't call me Shirley.

 

[Will on the hill]

Des can't be serious. Keppie, Sipley, Paseka in ahead of Aloiai. Surely he's having a laugh.

It's only a Tuesday side, Josh could come in for Keppie, DCE or Jake.

He had a head knock. Maybe they would prefer to give him another week. He was completely knocked out wasn't he?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Knights have some good players but Manly should have a clear advantage, in particular, there is no comparison between the 2 benches. Sea Eagles are way stronger.
The only concern is that we're favourites and we always beat teams below us... so we'd better make sure we do it again!

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Aloio should come into the match day squad , I Hope Paseka isn’t the one to drop out . The one I would drop out would be Tapau or Keppie
A must win game at home

I take it you haven't watched Flying High?

Back injury apparently

My basic understanding is that there are concussions and there are concussions... for example Papenhuyzen missed 7-8 rounds after getting knocked out last year (and then he only came off the bench for a few weeks after that).

Not saying Josh has been impacted the same way but it's not really that far-fetched.

Newcastle must be playing Manly
Klemmer is allowed to play after last weeks send off
Not sure it was all that bad, but based on the NRL integrity system really clamping down, expected a week or 2

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Aloiai will be playing, surely. Three weeks to recover from a head knock should be more than ample I would've thought. He's a big in for us if he is. Question is, who misses out when he comes back. I reckon Paseka showed enough against the drizzle to win a spot in the 17. Probably at the expense of Keppie - who hasn't been terrible but hans't set the world on fire either.

Keppie... gooornneeeeeeee

 

[ALinda]

Like others, I'm surprised Aloiai is only 18th man today. He was knocked out though and I can only hope he's not as badly affected as Marty was 2 years ago.

There could be more to this than we know about, as usual, but at least he's named 18th man so thinking optimistically a lot can happen in 4 days 🤞

So, @WiseyEagle, do you like movies about Gladiators?

 

[BOZO]

Looking forward to beers in the winter sun ... all three grades at Brookie 🙂

Should be a fantastic day with all three grades underway

If I was not rostered on shift work I would be there for sure

The Knights are a big disappointment this season and should be beaten
