So happy that Barrett is willing to change line ups. AFB definitely deserves a second game in first grade. The intensity and agro he showed last week was great and he'll improve with more time. I suspect he'll be very hard to drop in the future.
I couldn't agree more newwyeagle. like you I live here and know only to well how pumped the Knights will be to win in front of a bumper Anzac crowd. Very nervous about this game..

^ Agree that this will not be a walk in the park. Yes, we've shown some improvement over the first two weeks as well as a lot of heart, but right now, especially with key players out, we're just not a very good team. Any win we get we'll need to work for.

Really really need to win this one, for our confidence, for our season and for Barrett.

Express delivery 😛
I want to see Wiliame belt out our victory song more than anything
Not meaning to sound selfish here, but...they really need to win it for me!
(And all of us, of course) 😉
Agree this game makes me nervous think we are in for a close one here!!

This is one of the best benches I've seen for a while. We must be able to get into the scoring zone with it.
Maybe we splurged on express overnight delivery.
Edit - oops, Haha just saw HMs post above. Great minds think alike...
Just remember in the past we've won games we weren't supposed to AND lost games we weren't supposed to.
I'm thinking we might surprise one or more of those more fancied teams ahead of us, some are due a loss and we do tend to lift against better sides.
I won't put us down for a loss but it's guaranteed that the Knights will be much much harder than everyone expects.

I do get excited when I see a Parcell in the post.
With the players available that is the best team we can put up, happy with it. Even though the Knights aren't the best team in the comp, no game in the NRL is a sure thing and being at Hunter it will be a tough game. I expect us to win not by a huge margin. Lets be honest we haven't got big points in us just yet.
