[Boxer]

Hope Wakeham gets another chance

 

[Spoonman84]

Foran definitely out and JMK will be on the extended bench.

Hope Wakeham gets another chance

He wasn’t named in reggies and Foran is ruled out so I’d say he is playing.

Thanks for that cheers.

FFS Pay shits me. Okunbor back this week in reserve grade. Wakeham and Toomaga not named in reserve grade. Could both be getting a run this week?

[Spoonman84]

Besides Elliott I love that bench!

This week will be a massive test for Wakeham defensively the Sharks didn't have time to focus on him too much due to his late call up but the Knights will. Either way it will be a good thing for his development.

Toomaga is playing?

 

[Spoonman84]

Toomaga is playing?

Looks like it! Unless Pay makes changes before the game.

 

[haz123]

Toomaga is playing?

Can only hope.

 

[Spoonman84]

Really interested to see Renouf in NRL again. He looked like deer in the headlights last year and at his age he really needs to make a impact.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

He actually fucking did it lol

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Thought Meaney still on the wing...

 

[Raysie]

- Okunbor should be on the Wing.
- Hopoate moved to left centre.
- Holland back at right centre to partner Smith and be our goalkicker.
- Meaney dropped to Reserve Grade.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Really interested to see Renouf in NRL again. He looked like deer in the headlights last year and at his age he really needs to make a impact.

Hopefully Pay throws him on around the the 32nd mark and just tells him to go ham with the break coming up.

 

[Spoonman84]

The Knights side looks rather ordinary with no Ponga plus Pearce and Klemmer on a short turn around.....

We have a chance in this!

 

[Spoonman84]

Hopefully Pay throws him on around the the 32nd mark and just tells him to go ham with the break coming up.

More likely to get less then 10 mins after the 70th minute unfortunately.

 

[Delta]

If Napa doesn't back up who will replace him?
