Well we were missing:
  • Saifiti (ex Origin prop and was in red hot form this year until his injury)
  • Flegler (one of the best props)
  • Plath (our best from last year)
  • Gilbert (Origin lock before injury)
  • Kaufusi (ex Origin backrower and now very good prop for us)
  • Kerr (Been in really good form)
It's not who we are missing it's the fact they are all middle forwards.
Anyway, well done to Newcastle. Played well. Katoa had a shocker for us and Hammer should swap with Averillo.
You do realise that 6 of the seven players the Knights were missing are props some also with SOO or international Test match experience others
who have been playing very well for the Knights before injury and two very promising players starting out their first grade careers, the 7th, Greg Marzhew is like
a front rower hitting the ball up. The Knights were missing more front rowers than the Dolphins and had second rowers filling in in the front row.

The point I was making is that so many posts on here were stating that the Knights were at 'full strength' which is clearly untrue. The Knights were harder hit with
injuries than the Dolphins. Deluding yourself like that doesn't help assess the reality of the loss.

Cheers.

Are you Matt in disguise
Do you mean 257Matt? The Bulldogs supporter? The bloke who lives in Sydney's 'Little Kabul'? No, I'm not him. The Bulldogs are the team I have the lowest opinion of and an even lower opinion of Bulldogs supporters; They are the worst. Have you been on their forum, 'The Kennel'? It's disgusting. It's feral. I don't know how the moderators allow the filth and garbage that gets posted on that site. No. I'm not Matt.

Cheers.

Most league forums are bottom of the barrel.

Jubilee Ave, is the best forum I've been on.

I don't want this one to go the same way as others. So I've decided to spam the ignore button.
