At the end he joked to his owners about only scoring 3 points himself.



Obviously needs the Terrell May attitude - want to see him score a double this week.

yeah.... but he got injured and only played 20 mins... unless that was also part of the plan.

obviously robbo didn't tell bs9 that terrell was going to get big mins this week lol

and now i own three dud hookers instead of two.. lol

question for those that watched the game, how did Armstrong go "IRL" yesterday?

The whole "interview" was done as a joke, so I woudn't read anything into it. But also, they'd just put 40 points on one of the premiership favourites - I don't think he really gives a shit about his fantasy output

that's basically my point.

Bit of a rough start to the game, couple of early errors, but after that he was ok, didn’t really do much else after that stood out in a good or bad way

Dropped the ball early on a couple of plays, maybe trying a little too hard for the conditions. Was backing up in another spot, but kinda arrived too fast for the moment to get the pass and rack up some points. Had an attacking mid-field kick aimed for him and forced a turnover. Looked alright early besides the errors, but then Warriors evened up possession and game conditions didn't allow for much more.

I'll have to play him again this week, but at least it's against Tigers. Probably bringing in Weekes and maybe Atkinson, so have to re-evaluate whether to play him vs Titans. Hopefully it was just the shit conditions, but not overly keen on playing him for too long right now.

Weekes a week early. 

Interesting, might have to do something similar this week

Was alright. Crap weather, stop/start game, could've gone a lot worse.

Nah not this week. Could have if Paps didn't get injured, but I need someone playing now. Have Armstrong, might grab Atkinson this week and hope he can keep hitting 30s and then Weekes next week. Armstrong could be an NPR then if he duds it up this week. Tago on the menu soon too.

Shoulder injury seems to be just a stinger and no concerns going forward

Yeah JBrai isn't an 80 minute hooker imo. Knights may persist but with Friz coming back maybe they can use Friz in a hybrid role with Elliot allowing Crossland time at both 9 and lock.

Any actual news on Sorensen?

My current Rd 13 Mids are Smithies Shoes Curran. If Angus is Origin bound then I’ll need another. No idea who that might be -probably May. What a great sell, at least Curran wasn’t the worst choice.

How long do you think I can go with no HOK cover? Robson has been my only HOK for about a month.

Until he gets selected for Origin or has a bye. Hope this helps

Since joining the Knights he’s been an 80 minute hooker barring anything HIA/injury related (36 out of 41 games played 70+ minutes, with the majority at 80) so I don’t see why people think that. 

Do you just think he’s better playing 60?

I think with the amount of time he's had out, since then Crossland has established himself in that hooker role as opposed to just being a utility. We all know he's not very good but stepped up last year for them. Maybe the coach just sees him more as a hooker at times. I'm sure yesterday was an anomaly, but there's more risk of Crossland taking minutes off him than in previous years.

It's because of his injuries and the way the game has changed for 9s. Crossland adds an element to their attack that JBrai doesn't.

He can play 80 but every time he doesn't, the Knights look better. Crossland has developed probably better than most envisioned. Knights will probably persist with him playing 80 but that's just stubbornness from AOB and co.

I was at Shark Park yesterday, somehow my kids enjoyed the experience in the wet, except the 5yo who kept asking to go somewhere dry

Was in the corner where Rava scored the two tries. Unfortunately the score in the top left of the screen obstructed a clear view of my standing and applauding

10yos asked to go to a Dragons home game soon but one where they win
