This should work

If not:

Reports indicate MCK will play but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the medical team err on the side of caution with Ryan Matterson to move back to his preferred right edge

.....have Briton Nikora (ankle) and Matt Prior in some doubt. Both will be checked at captain’s run but the side is expected to be 1-17.

NRLPHYSIO said MCK had clearance from "NRL's chief medical officer" so I thought he was a pretty good chance to play tonight...

Wonder what is the possibility of Jsaf remaining on the Knights bench for rest of the season ?

Probably pretty good with Ese Ese and Buhrer near enough out the door.

Random info, but Coates played for Tweed Heads last week in Q Cup. Didnt know they were able to share players around (it was a split round in q vup and his usual team wasnt playing)

Classic Wacko to say nothing but have everything think you know what you are talking about ‘these players will either play or they won’t’

*player who went down with an ankle injury mid game last week, should play this week, but may not, but should still play, but keep an eye on team lists, but should play* /wisdom

As a Twal owner Matterson to edge & Twal to lock. I call it my grasping at straws theory.

It's on CS9 atm.

Haven't had a lot of time this week to look over things.

Thinking about swapping Twal for Nathan Brown, or maybe a nice sideways trade of Twal and Brittain to red dot and JTurbo. Leaves me with Tevaga/Jake as my 17/18 and 2 trades...

Ok hear me out. Could Payne Haas actually be a challenger for the Dally M? Seems very unlikely. That said, he was on 10 points (leader was on 15) when voting went private after round 12 (he had only played 7 games at this point). He is there abouts our best player every week.. and the award is basically a popularity contest... paying 81/1 to win or 26/1 to place on sportsbet... I guess the issue is he is unlikely to have polled highly in games we are losing, and we've lost a lot of games.

Did you know he is only 19

You might find this hard to believe.. but Damien Cook was a former beach sprinter.

Does Manu Ma'u play left or right hand side of the field? This is for Bateman captaincy purposes. Ma'u scored 61 last week v Warriors so Bateman could do similar.

Shocking I know, but Sam burgess only weighed 63kg when he was 18.

Mau played on the right last week.

Thanks.

I am warming to Bateman captaincy.

I used to play in the same team as ex Kiwi hooker Duane Mann when I was 15-16 & he was always small & light a 58th/inside ctr. He still wasn't that big when he played lock for the top side. Then mysteriously over 1 off season he came back to pre season training much bigger (probably put on a stone & a half) & that's when he moved to hooker & got picked in the Kiwis.

I've got CNK and Pearce in my starting side. Can't afford Teddy unfortunately. 5 trades remaining and a pretty shit 14-17.

My choices are:

CNK to Milford
Pearce to Milford
Pearce to DCE.

Which would you choose?

Sounds like Gallen. Not mysterious though just eating right and hard work
