Tedesco back in 1st grade it seems.

Also nice to see Brooks back up with the proper reggies. Hope he carves it up!

Dave Harris in the front row really shows the injury toll at the moment. Even big Seffa hasn't been playing in the RMC of late so not able to call him up.

Some interesting jersey numbers on the Newie side

 

[softlaw]

So it would appear that Pettybourne is back in 1sts. Damn

Pettybourne is on the injured list

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Cuthbertson still can't crack firsts, even at Newcastle.

Let's hope Soni's GPS is on cue this week.

 

[tigertilidie]

great i Shaun Spence still in FG

 

[Goose]

I thinkthey have handled Brooks well givng him a break of NSW cup, now back up. look after his body whilst preparing him for first grade

 

[Newtown]

So it would appear that Pettybourne is back in 1sts. Damn

He was injured playing State Cup last weekend so he may be unable to play this week.

 

[MacDougall]

Are we 2/2 with Sean Meaney in the NRL side this year? Or 2/3? Either way he'd have the best winning record of any player lol.

Great to see Brooks back in the side. I though he handled it well before and the added time in the under 20s will have helped his game. Hopefully he will play the majority of the season with the NSW cup side.

You're not wrong Smeg. I like the look of the backrow though. Knights will be tough no doubt.

 

[softlaw]

ahhh, thanks for that

Im loving our backrow too….IMO they are all guns.

Although the Knights are littered with first graders.

Surprised that Mitchell Frei isn't cracking it at Newcastle Big wraps from the Broncos

Son of former Sheffield Shield player Harry Frei

Hopefully Sonni was forced to sleep in the changerooms at LO this week so that he is sure to be at the right place on Saturday.

Just on the Newcastle team…who the hell names their son Chanel for crying out loud? I bet he can fight.

What a pile of crap.

We could have played on the Bye Weekend if not for the NSWRL letting their little mates at the Jets get out of their mid week match against the Knights because they thought it was unfair having to play 3 games in 8 days. You know liek the WT and other teams were forced to do.

Pathetic sniveling little Newtown sycophants.

Wests Tigers lose a home game (actually having to travel further then the Knights) but also lose their TV exposure. Utterly pathetic
