[Michael :P]

Not confident in the slightest 'bout this game now.

[CaptainKlutz]

Storm spirit to shine though for sure on this one.


As if the Knights have shown any of that lately

[I love Cooper]

In the slightest? But but but.. Chambers is still there! 

[Bullets]

Newcastle will like there chances now. That backline looks way less dangerous without Inglis (no matter what you say about him not trying in games).

The club will play down the incident saying they have there minds on the job but they are kidding if they think this won't effect them mentally. 

[Super Cronk]

oooooo ryan tandy getting a crack. AWESOME!.

If its Nielson and Tomane on the same side...knights will score atleast 14-20 points.

[steaming stormer]

Neilsen is not a liability in defence at all - in his 3 games this year, he's made 41 tackles and missed 2... I don't get the Neilsen hate on here at all

[Super Cronk]

Its more to do with the combo of him and Tomane. i dont hate him...dont think he is great...but i think with that sort of inexperience outwide , and combined with tomanes poor defence i think will lead to tries galore down there.

Was going to reply but Super said what I was going to say re: combos.

In the slightest? But but but.. Chambers is still there! 

WTF has that got to do with anything. If Chambers plays poor Ill say it, but he hasnt or wont make or break this side.

[Super Cronk]

And the knights have big boys outwide also. Our left hand side is poor with inglis in it...you take him out i cant really see it improving. Hopefully im wrong though.

[BIG JIM]

Hoffman into Centre with Tomane,Dallas to move into 2nd with Billy at Lock.Turner to Fullback and Neilson who i think has done well in his previous outings onto wing for Turner.

[Bullets]

No way would we change that much because one player is out. I whole lot of pointless shuffling in that anyways

[TC]

A bit over the top, but I do think that we could do worse than play the Hoff at centre.

[Scooter]

I think Nielsen is quite a solid player and hope we have (or do) re-signed him for next year.

I, like Super Cronk, am pretty happy to see Ryan Tandy get a game. He has been carving it up for CC Storm and I was impressed with the games I saw him play last year with Balmain-Ryde Tigers in NSW Cup and Ireland in RLWC. Good luck Ryan.

I also hope we re-sign Tandy for next year.

[CooperCronk]

What worries me is that Newcastle's season is on the line now and that the game is being played at Newcastle. Had it been played at the Graveyard I would be more confident.

We'll either dig in deep for Greg or get smashed.  I'd really hate to be Bellyache this week.

Wrapped to see Tandy getting a game this week, he's been one our best on the CC since signing with the Storm.
