Ponga will likely play. So they will be at full strength as opposed to us missing 6 of our first string forwards. If we win, Newcastle coach might need to start looking for a new job.
- Dolphins by 2
- FTS: JMK
- MoM: Herbie
There have a been a lot of comments like this, saying the Knights were at strength, but that is obviously not true... Perhaps people looking for excuses.
The Knights didn't have any front rowers play that game, they had use a number second rowers and some very young second rowers as props.
The Knights were missing:
Jacob Saifiti
Leo Thompson
Adam Elliot
Jack Hetherington
Tyrone Thompson
Paul Bryan
Greg Marzhew
Thompson and Hetherington came back from injury through Cup and the Knights had to use three young back rowers, Thomas Cant, Jermaine MercMcEwan and
Elijah Salesa-Leaumoai along with back rowers Frizell and Brodie Jones to fill at prop. That is nowhere near full strength.
And while many on here are using Bostock's injury as an excuse, there has been little mention of the Knights losing their 5/8 and best player all year Fletcher Sharpe
with 32 minutes to go or that the Dolphins scored two tries while the Knights were down to 12 players. You're better off doing an honest review of the game
than fudging facts and making excuses. Just a suggestion.
