PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Knights v Manly [Round 14, 2020]

[Mitch]

Thought you could only change 19 for late injury with no one in 19 to cover to get exemption. Miski is in 19 so how does Jorge get a run. Brendon must be injured in last couple of days but strange Jorge allowed in

Thought the same when I heard Zorba this morning, so I’m not sure if that is that will be what the changes look like. I’d like to see Funa at the back and I di like Jake at prop. I would rather Siro play at lock with Hamole coming into the second row as a starter.

Yep Mitch. That would look a lot more threatening. Haven’t seen much of Funa at fullback. Will be interesting to see him in some space.

Yes that is my understanding too. Only reason I can see that they would let Jorge back in is because Whisky is only on development and not top 30. So maybe (??) you have to use a fit top 30 player if available. Although I also understand after the transfer window closed early this month then the restriction on development players was lifted too.

Look the other thing to consider here is that it was Zorba making these claims, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm still waiting for the Pommy forward he promised was on the way two seasons ago.

Was Dessie playing possum & intended to play Funa at FB, Jake at prop & Waddell at lock all along?
