I like the Knights chances in this one, I think it'll be a tight affair though. Good odds for the Knights to win 1-12
Big fan of Jack Cogger too, think he's the best option for 5/8 at the Knights. Shame he leaves next year.
Brooks has been puss since Benji has left the field. Been tackled on last twice. Offered absolutely nothing in that attacking set just then.
Yeah, Brooks still sucks. His only two assets are his speed and short kicking game. Watch though, he'll make a linebreak or two in the second half and win us the game. We're really missing Packer and Elijah Taylor kinda sucks tbh.
Newcastle's defence in yardage sets has been excellent, really stunted Wests go forward up the middle and forced them to spread the ball when they really haven't earnt the right to. Great game so far, thought Newcastle could have possibly been up by a little more at half time. Might come back to hurt them because I expect Cleary will really straighten up Wests attack at half time and the Knights defence has looked vulnerable when they play direct and fast on the fringes.
Eh, when Benji comes back on I think we'll be fine. Liddle and Marshall are our two most important players in attack.
Has anyone noticed this season how refs wait to see how an attacking player reacts to a possible high tackle before blowing a penalty. That's nothing but a cracking tackle, the ref has just taken a pure guess because Taylor stayed down.
