Katoa got 2 tries on the weekend in a 22-22 affair with the bears. I just want to see if he did anything or if those tries were handed to him.

Katoa made ISP team of the week.

Two tries, one try-assist, one line-break, one line-break assist, nine tackle breaks, 17 runs, 213 total run metres.

Match Highlights (tries) - https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2018/05/06/frank-hyde-shield-ends-in-a-draw/ - both of his tries he went over untouched. second try was a support play after a bust up the middle.

BREAKING: Brock Lamb (halfback) and Danny Levi will be in the @NRLKnights squad to meet Penrith on Friday night. Expect both will be named this arvo. Also expect Josh King and Luke Yates to feature.

Cogger, Lillyman and J Saifiti will be dropped

With that I've wasted 3 trades on players who were immediately injured or dropped.

Make amends by bringing Capewell in this week

Will be a good cashout if he is named

2 tries - 16
213 run metres - 21
9 TBs - 27
1 TA - 5
1 LBA - 2
1 LB - 4
2 Tackles - 2

77 points from stats that were tallied. Seems like he was involved

We keep wishing Katoa getting another run, what's different this week that would get him in the squad?

What a fucking joke Cogger is being dropped. He was very good the week before last and the Knights play like shit for 1 game and he's dropped? Get fucked.

Got the cash to go Sorensen to Tolo/Fatfita but not sure which one? My cash league doesn't play bye rounds so rd 13 doesn't worry me.

Fifita tends to play a little but more when Gallen is out.
Mid game injuries to Graham and Sorenson last week wouldn't hurt.

I expect he'll not play 70 minutes all season, but he'll still be one of the elite FRF anyway

Yeah, I doubt the Sharks make unnecessary changes this week.

Lamb was always higher up in the pecking order. Coggers going to doggies next year. Don't think Cogger's performance was the reason he was dropped.

I agree it's a bit rough on him if he gets dropped. No hlf will look good behind a badly beaten pack. Also in that game some of his runners let him down dropping the ball.

Scott Bolton has been approved to play by the NRL but will talk with the club to decide whether he does or not.

Mentioned in a statement.

Good lord, 2 weeks of fluff pieces about how the knights were Cogger’s to take control of and then he’s shit canned after one loss, throws a wrench in the plans, I could go Cogger>Surgess but I want to keep some of my bank to hop on DCE and Macca next week...

Lamb was dropped 3 weeks ago. Cogger replaced him and the Knights won their first game without Pearce against Manly and Cogger was solid. They lose their next game after a poor performance and he gets dropped. Dropped after ONE bad game when he wasn't the only one? Ridiculous.

Lamb was dropped when Pearce was around, so maybe they want him back to partner Watson.

Let's all buy Lamb

To be honest, I think Lamb was dropped so he could go away and get some confidence/freshen up. Unfortunately he also picked up an injury in that time.

We mis-read the situation.

Cmon man, how likely is that? We are a bunch of expert League analysts who literally spend hours every day discussing the minutiae of players we've never met and tearing apart decisions about which we have made highly intelligent guesses.

Seriously, isn't it far more likely that an NRL coach is making capricious and brutal decisions without any aim of winning games?

I think Sorenson is more of a sell atm than Cogger. Sorenson is worth more money and out for 4 weeks, plus was relegated to the bench.
Cogger will be hanging around and if Lamb shows poor form or theres an injury to Watson or Lamb he is straight in.

I'm going to bring Lamb in

I don't like this Arrow situation

So if we keep him and he has a couple of sub par performances by bringing him back prematurely this week we lose a ton of cash and risks being reinjured but if we trade him and he only misses a week or 2 and comes back primed we have to trade him back in.

Such a mind rape
