If true it confirms one of 2 things. Either Doueihi is gone or Benji has caved and will be playing him the halves. 2nd one really is unacceptable

I dont think we can throw Javon Andrews in there from round 1. Doueihi has the experience and was on fire until he dislocated his shoulder this year. Not my favourite pick though; not a team player.

Nope, just nope.
Let's start how we want to finish. AD. will never be a half.
Pick the best combo and run with that.
At least have a crack at being a winning team

Knights team is very good, but it is not too different to previous years.

They have two world class centres, one speedy winger and one metre eater. A world class fullback. There front row punches forward, and their back row is very dangerous.

. . . . . . . . . and most importantly they got rid of Adam O'Brien.

So your belief is that if someone doesn't support the team the way you do , their is something wrong with them

Give me a reason to be impressed ....I'll be impressed
You choose to be impressed without any reasonable facts
The bookies have us 17th in the line of betting
If you like the $61 dollars get on it .....jump all over it .......flash your winning ticket all over the Forum
But until that happens your just another poster with an opinion
As I said we will have an answer come September ......and I truly ,honestly hope you are a 101% right
But until that happens I'll hold my judgement
Ok with you , champ ??

Frizzell is so solid.

When his name was first thrown up 90% of ppl on here said no, which bewilders me. The guy is tough as nails. At 35 would be our best middle.

Frizell is a champion player but I question whether the fire will still be there after he has put everything into the campaign this year….especially should they win.
35 is pretty old to be bashed up for 6 months straight in a shit outfit.

I reckon there would have been hundreds of knights supporters thinking this way august 2025.

I have to have a bit of hope going into a new sesson despite our history...things change.

Hopefully a better defense coach...a bit more speed with Averillo...hopefully some bettwr luck with inkuries...a full sesson with both ce ters and back rowers..hopefully Latu has a breakout year...bula gets back to his best...Terrell gets over his back issues...reality hasnt hit yet hap...usually july or august, but until then....

If I was to rate our 1 to 7 v Newcastle's 1 to 7 head to head at most we might win 2 ....maybe even only 1 match up

We have a better hooker , one better prop and the back row is probably even

So from 13 spots we win maybe 4 head to head

If you not only believe the bookies , but then match us up head to head against all the current squad's in 2026 we are bottom 4

I'm not making this shit up .....Bulas not Top 10 , our wingers are bottom 4 , Taylan May is Top half , Toa, Makasini are bottom 8 centres of the 34 across the board , Luai was bottom 6 and that's being extremely nice , Doueihi based on all form is bottom half of all 7s , Twal is around the middle , KPP and Samuela is Top half of the 34 second rowers in the comp ,Api is Top 6 as far as hookers go , Fonua Pole probably around the middle and Terrell May in the top half
Not great reading

And so far this off season we have Averillo and Brailey coming on board

How do you rate them , Brailey I don't think played NRL and Averillo played maybe 5 games at most

I want to be positive Ink .....I really do ....but when you look at the facts and break it down man on man ....it ain't pretty

Then let's start on the coaching staff ....where does Benji rate as a head coach ....up head to head against the other 16 coaches ......bottom 4

Assistant coaches .... this is very arguable I know , but our best assistant left in my opinion We are definitely bottom 4

Our leagues club , HBG , our juniors and their development

I basically stopped posting on here because I hated being so negative , but the cons outweigh the pros so significantly you just can't ignore it if you are going to be fair and honest with yourself
 
I can take some positives from 2026 and beyond , the major steps forward by the NRLW side

But even then we found a way to stuff that up

We meaning the fans , how many Forum members live within a hour and a half of Campbelltown Stadium and didn't show up to the semi final v Canberra

15 years , no finals in senior rugby league and when they finally crack the semis, a paltry 2500 show up

Don’t twist things . This has nothing to do with that . It has to do with the same people continuously posting the same negative shit, over and over and ultimately feeding into everyone’s worse impulses . I never said we will do this and that . All I said was there’s reasons to be optimistic , and stated those reasons.
I think the bookies have completely over valued luai , and completely undervalued May and KPP , and Latu . I think frizell , brailey and Mann add some adults in the room , and real depth around key positions . Especially 9. Our season fell apart when we had to field Hope and Lanyon .
hopefully we never have to see AD in the halves again and that experiment is done forever . We do need another half . And the rumours are brooksy on a couple of years . I’m ok with that . He can tackle and has a good long kicking game allowing the defensive line to get down field .
But like I said stop posting negative shit over and over . It brings everyone down . You and gunner are doing my head in , along with a few others . I get it , you love being an Eeyore but if you think this team is the same as teams like the 2023/24 teams or worse I think that’s absolutely silly .
The moment we get Latu and Andruws bodies right and ruggedised for nrl , that’s the moment we will be a force in this comp. They will both be wearing blue and maroon by 2030 IMO. We just have to get them on the field . Latus time is now . I believe in him. Javon needs 2 pre seasons probably .
Cheer up is all I’m saying . Fark the bookies what do they know ? It’s pretty easy to look at last years ladder and then predict your 8 to be exactly the same . Which is what every “expert” does every year . And they’re always wrong .
