Official Round 17 - Dogs vs Knights - Consolidated Match Thread

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

Likely. Knowing his luck the game will be tight and he will be expected to be flawless in the dying minutes and will likely lead to a mistake lol.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

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

Napa is dropped from origin

 

[Bull Terrier]

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

Hope he plays him. Like to see how he goes.

Fuck switch Okunbor and chuck Holland at right centre and I’d be happy with that team.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Napa is dropped from origin

He got recalled and might play.

 

[Spoonman84]

Napa is dropped from origin

He got called into the squad today as Matt Gillett pulled out. He might play or be 18th man we won't know till tomorrow.

Or Pay is a soft cock and drops him for JMK before kick off

Knights can't be underestimated.

Okunbor not named as only just coming back from injury scare the other week.

This games either going to make, or ruin a weekend.

Canterbury Cup play immediately before them.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Hopefully Renouf gets some good game time, doesn’t get too gassed and shows some ability.

Deserved call up, up to him now.

- 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.

Okunbor and Hopoate to passive, no aggression. I'd rather them be partnered with Holland or Reimis, or even Montoya. Probably Okunbor and Holland to even out the height with Hopoate and Reimis.

Wakeham! Wakeham! Wakeham! Got a feeling this kid is going to step up

 

[Trafford10]

I think we are going to struggle to score points again.

Big if true.

Maybe I'm the only one but I thought Hopoate outplayed JMozz on the day, which was further confirmed when I watched the replay. That's in aggression as well, both in defence and attack.

Go Dogs

Agree 100%. exact changes I would make

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

We have a chance in this!

The amount of chances we've had this year, we deadset should be at least 10th-12th on the ladder.

Canberra game and Manly game were an absolute gift 4 points with all the injuries/origin duties they had but we managed to screw it up.

Agreed, we could still lose 13+ I don't think you could ever be confident going into a game with this team.

 

[Mr Invisible]

There's a glimmer of hope. I reckon Knights may rest their SOO players. No point risking injury when they are in the 8 already.

Connor Watson - had an absolute shocker last week.
Kurt Mann - can be hit and miss.
Jesse Ramien - couldn't hold a ball and got found out in defence.
Shaun Kenny-Dowall - hot and cold.
Mason Lino - has an error in him.
James Gavet - has an error in him.
Mitchell Pearce - backing up from State of Origin (starting)

Hoppa and Smith hopefully on the side Maumalo and Hiku tore apart last week.
