    Really loving the Knights side. Think it's pretty much what it should be. Add in Gagai and Tahu when they come back and it'll be gun.
     
  2. Julian BJ Taylor

    How is that a no try to ferguson?
     
  3. Ged GEC King

    I really like the look of Newcastle's side with Gidley at hooker.
     
  4. Frizzed WC Welker

    Not really sure how that's a try.
     
  5. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah me too. I think if you're going to use a Gidley/Buderus hooker rotation though that Buderus should definitely start.
     
  6. Ged GEC King

    And further to that, it should be a rotation. At the moment they're too small having both Gidley and Buderus in the forwards.
     
  7. Fungus K Fung

    Gidley isn't in the forwards. McManus is injured, so Quinn is on the wing and Gidley at centre.
     
  8. Ged GEC King

    Ah. OK. I just saw both on the field and Boyd still at fullback and assumed. Surely you'd move Boyd to centre or wing rather than Gidley.
     
  9. Raide KN Rask

    Hadn't thought of that, surprised its not what they did.
     
  10. Fungus K Fung

    As if they'll move Boyd though. Would stuff up the spine.
     
  11. Raide KN Rask

    Yea but in defense it would probably be better for them.
     
  12. Cribbage RG Cribb

    It would be better for them in attack as well. Having Gidley at fullback instead of Boyd wouldn't stuff up any spine in the world.
     
  13. Hunter AD Hunt

    So the refs just told Buderus and Costigan to move forward at marker. Costigan didn't move at all and then made a tackle. How is that not a penalty?
     
  14. Rocks DN Boland

    Are shoulder charges still banned or?
     
  15. Raide KN Rask

    McKinnon needs to learn how to pass to his unmarked winger.
     
  16. Frizzed WC Welker

    Roberts is such a weapon.
     
  17. Raide KN Rask

    They reckon you have to tuck your shoulder in and lean into the defender.

    IMO Buderus just braced himself, he didn't 'charge' the defender.
     
  18. GYR DW Lewis

    My mate put 50 bucks on Cuthbertson last try scorer. What a dick.
