I've heard it's Jmoz. Walker will want to put on a masterclass against us and it's no secret Jmoz gets rested when possible.

If players are being coached to hit around the head, wrap the ball up and get binned, then that's the coaches problem.
The data on concussion issues adds too much weight to the argument that the game's administration must make these changes to protect the players' welfare.

Simple medical science.
Entertainment argument won't stand up in litigation court.
They can still be tough without hitting the other players head - simples.

Did the ref just realise he had a 6 again KPI to meet or something? There was 4 in 60 seconds

Watson off for over 10 minutes "HIA" despite Newcastle being on the ropes. Knights getting exactly what they deserve (for fucking with my fantasy players cash generation).

Man, Blake Green is so slow.
Imagine the Knights actually having halves who were fit and fast?
That left edge is paper thin.

You’d think when he’s back he automatically gets a wing spot so Walsh probs goes back to bench when he’s back......

Maumalo fucking sucks, maybe the Warriors just finally have a coach who has figured that out.

Every Warriors fan I know is almost as excited about him finally getting dropped as they are that Walsh is starting.

So is Watson an official sell yet?

Feel bad for the bloke who traded in Lolo this week....

Hopefully he comes back yet.

And there he is.

Why is AOB stuffing around with Watson's minutes.
If he wants to hold him till the 20 min mark, OK. But leave him on the field.
Should have played Watson / Crossland as halves.

He's back on , but likely limps on to round 14 losing money. At least his replacement (Lolo) is losing cash as well

Slapped the VC on Brails this week, geez I hope Nathan isn't out for any reason. Yikes.

Kill me now.

Yeah same. But most will have... VC in the first game always the smart move.

Any reason?

The knights are just refusing to pass to frizzell he is one of their most damaging ball runners and he is demanding the ball and he just isn’t getting it. The knights are just going to their left side every play

Usually only if your captain plays the first game too I thought.

I still don't understand this post R1, it shouldn't make a difference given you're always going to have 2 players locked out

FWIW I have Haas VC

Mann drops the ball cold on the first tackle.
As a Knights fan, this is just tragic. A car crash in slo-mo.
I want to turn it off but I can't bring myself to look away.
