Looks like Minto has finally turned a corner looking like their first win on the back of monster games from Lomax, Hunt and Wade Graham

This may as well be a Wests Warriors polo shirt:

I'm hoping its red that has come up looking orange in the picture.

I'm not celebrating yet. Lewis and Napa can rack up 16 demerits between them quite easily.

I'm glad I jumped on POD Macca last week, his ownership will probably get a fair bump this week. Although it would be a luxury trade for many coaches as they try to plug holes in their team after this round (Capewell, Lucy, Paix, Mann)

Is he worth bringing in? I'm running low on trades with the debacle that is Centre. But Macca has Brailey and Watson to come back in. Do you think he's a cut price keeper?

If Luke hasn't even trained with Broncos yet why would Paix be an issue this week?

Brailey is out for the season

Knights coach Adam O’Brien confirmed after Saturday’s game against Melbourne that Lachlan Fitzgibbon will return from a hamstring complaint. Kurt Mann suffered an ankle injury on the weekend but O’Brien said it was just a sprain and he should be fine for Thursday’s match.

The Broncos will likely be without Kotoni Staggs, who went down at training with hamstring injury on Sunday. Veteran Alex Glenn is expected to fill in for Staggs in the daunting task of marking up against in-form Newcastle gun Bradman Best. Boom rookie Tesi Niu could also be unleashed after starting his career as a bench utility. The other option is moving Corey Oates back to the wing and moving Xavier Coates or Herbie Farnworth to the centres. Issac Luke could also make his Brisbane debut after linking up with the club.

Winger Ken Maumalo started running on Wednesday after scans revealed his hamstring injury was not as bad as first thought and could be an outside chance of playing on Friday. David Fusitu’a could also bolster the Warriors’ stocks on the wing having spent the start of the revamped season in quarantine. Poasa Faamausili and Jack Murchie were both placed on report for grade-one dangerous contact last week but can escape suspension with early guilty pleas.

Dylan Edwards is expected to make his return from an ankle injury in place of Caleb Aekins. Meanwhile, Kurt Capewell will miss Friday’s game after sustaining a medial ligament injury although it is unclear how long he will spend on the sidelines. Liam Martin will likely come in to the starting side after impressing on the edge last week while Billy Burns should come on to the bench.

The Titans will be without Dale Copley after the centre limped off in the second half with an ankle injury. “It doesn’t look great short-term,” Justin Holbrook said after the game. Jai Arrow moved to the centres after Copley left the field. With Tyrone Roberts (ankle) nearing a return, Phillip Sami could shift back to the wing with Brian Kelly moved to the centres as one alternative to cover for Copley’s absence. Tyrone Peachey could also be a straight swap for Copley off the bench.

It’s unlikely Paul McGregor will make any changes after securing his first win of the season on Sunday - and Fox League expert Michael Ennis agrees he needs to stick with the seventeen men that took down Cronulla. In particular, he says Ben Hunt must be at dummy-half. “Today, after seeing him go into that dummy half role, the discussion is finished. It’s over, Ben Hunt is a dummy half,” Ennis told the Big League Wrap. Matt Dufty also put in a man-of-the-match effort at fullback, ending McGregor’s hunt to find a number one for now.

The Knights poster on here with contacts in the club said coach wants 80 min hooker

I’m on Will Hopoate watch tonight.

I can’t see myself having a full gun team after having to waste so many trades on centre and a dud trade in bringing in Magoulias but oh well I guess it is what it is and many are in the same boat.

I was looking at him for this round before going a different way. Definitely one to watch if Mitchell and Best too exy

He'll have a good run of 80 min games, I think he's worth a shout.

Macca or Robson though? Robson cheaper, slightly less of a tackle bot but more potential in attack IMO

If I get either, I think it means not getting at least one McInnes or Cook, if not both. Team would be too unbalanced, but is probably realistic in a short season anyway.
