Pretty corny I know, but it kept me amused for a minute or two. 🤣 🤣 🤣

I hope that they have been practising field goal scenario's at training.
If they get a chance have a go just before halftime.

 

[Tito Santana]

KPP is a good defender and has a good offload but his runs are soft and unthreatening

And pathetic.

We will be down by plenty at halftime

May already plays 60+ minutes... Might as well keep Hunt on the bench to provide impact for those 20ish minutes May is off the field as a direct swap between the two. Pole and Fainu can both cover for Twal and Doueihi. No use having Bird there. Baffling

Cover for 2RF and halves (although so is Douehi) and possibly the tipping point cover for centre if Taylan doesn’t last full match (although again Douehi could cover). Ideally May does well this week and we could use that spot for a different player next week?

 

[TYGA]

And pathetic.

Hate to tell you KPP is a better back rower than anyone at the club. It’s not particularly close.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I think AD has all the skill to be a great lock in attack, if he applies himself and works on his game there - he could be a real weapon.

IMO he's more a lock than any other position.

Would love to keep him here if he's willing to play there.

No lie we looked good when he was playing 13.

 

[tigerballs]

Wonder what ADs thinking?

Some have suggested for years he's the perfect 13, just needs to get busy in defence.

@batboy , @Lestronge for example.

He's actually huge and probably one of our biggest players. I hope he carves up and it'll really address one of issues, if he chooses to stay.

I really think he believes he's a genuine half and will see those opportunities elsewhere but let's see what he can deliver on Sunday.

Actually very excited for this game.
Quite a decent 17 with some big calls made.
Hope we get the win.

The way he plays, and hopefully the way Benji wants him to play, 6, 7 or 13 aren't much different. I think he prefers the halves because of the involvement, which he'll get here. He's not a bad defender if he doesn't have to make those decisions on the fringe. He can tackle what's coming at him.
3 kick options, 3 pass-run options. I like it a lot and I think it may even be a turning point for the season.

Finesse player

 

[Camel2281]

Have you seen KPP play this year? Uninspiring comes to mind

He's been about the Knights best this year in an underperforming team. 40 tackles a week at 93% and 113m a week with a handy offload. Not sure what else you're expecting

 

[Oldman]

No lie we looked good when he was playing 13.

Don’t forget about his defensive horrors earlier in the game,
Hopefully defending in the middle with plenty of players around him he will improve that part of his game.

 

[tigerballs]

Honestly don't get the Hunt stuff. Thrown in to start one game, obviously wasn't up to it - but everyone knew that would be the case. He's an impact player. He'll give you a good 20 minutes, which is more than what we sometimes use on the fourth interchange. Offers so much more off the bench then Bird.

In an ideal world I'd have played AD lock from the interchange, have someone get through the intensity of the first 20 and then let AD run amuck with Luai and Latu.

2nd row is the obvious concern there, otherwise best we could do I guess.

Perhaps start with Sione for the first 20, then unleash the AD beast.

Is that one of Lee H subsidiary companies ?

Certainly beats the opposition scoring a try in the dying seconds.

We definitely need that field goal because a 25-18 scoreline can't be achieved without it. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

Score lots of field goals. 🤣

He’s a definite upgrade for us and if used well could be a real strike weapon for us. Not bad value contract either. All we can do is keep trying to upgrade with value contracts and wait for the occasional big signing. Steady sustained progress with the roster.

 

[Canadian Club]

The backrow named this week should indicate how badly we need a lock and another backrower in addition to KPP.

Yeah, they're good numbers but its just my impression of the six games I've seen him play. Lots of third man in, no strong shoulders and some arm grabbing.

Plenty of decoy runs, interested in post contact metres, hopefully they're good.

And it will be interesting to see if he gets picked for England

 

[weststigerman]

Good test for Doueihi, hopefully he comes through it.

Not sure what it is that Bird offers.
