[Mr Invisible]

As expected... Hope Harlan gets a run over Taupau or Payne though.. really keen to see how he goes in the NRL.

 

[sjwal0]

Roms retained. Good stuff. Hopefully he can cement a spot now.

once keating is back romelo will be back in reserve grade..

 

[Hitman]

Both wingers are speedsters and we need to be just as quick.

 

[Paint.]

Watch out for their gun young hooker Robbie Rochow, the kid's a star.

Yeah. Perrett two weeks in a row has let the winger outside of him in a somewhat feeble tackle attempt.
From memory it was Taufua and (Wiz) Khalifa Fai Fai Loa.

Watch out for the whole bulldogs team. These MEN are STARS lol

Very true but I do think Romelo is merely keeping his spot warm for now.
But while we are on the topic of people making the most of their chances, what about when Halatau returns? Who will make way then? I personally think it will be Payne

Nothing happened there???

 

[Book]

Watch out for their gun young hooker Robbie Rochow, the kid's a star.

Is he on fire in NSW Cup? That's the best way to judge a potential star.

 

[Bonzo]

Pretty much as expected, would like to see David Klemmer get an opportunity!

He was the best toyota cup player last week.

 

[Vlasnik]

Roms retained. Good stuff. Hopefully he can cement a spot now.

No chance !!! Joel Romelo is a fill in player end of story. I don't really understand the bromance that some of the kennelers on here have with this guy? At best his a miniture SBW good for a shoulder charge or two. IMO you never change a winning formular unless you have too!

 

[Bakes]

Good side, will get the job done. DES will be all over their round the back to Darius play. Outside that play it's go to uate. That's about it

 

[Vlasnik]

Just a heads up Knights supporters on marathonstadium.com Newcastle Knights forum apparently do not rate our chances of a win this Saturday. According to their delusional higher than thou art dribble the knights will win by 20+ points.

 

[Hansta]

Haha yeah sure Romelo will keep his spot at halfback. He's an avg NRL player. He wouldn't get the halfback spot in any other NRL team

 

[rexest]

Its the usual suspects thinking romelo is something special lol.

 

[Chicharito]

team as expected....wouldnt think that des would be making any changes to a winning side
