Re: 2024 Rd 1 v Knights: Fans' Choice Player of the Year

3 Fogarty 2 Hosking 1 Levi I can't believe I'm actually giving Levi a point. I've followed his progression since his knights debut and he might have finally reached serviceable levels. Smart on the obstruction. Smart on the try. Didn't overplay his hand. Defended really well. I wanted to sign Hoskin...

Re: 2024 Round 1 v Knights: Game Day

Great start to the season for us. Things to take away - knights picked the wrong team: picked on last years form rather than picking cogger and KPP to start. - Amazing game plan and we stuck to it all night (well done fog) - minimal errors and built pressure We can’t play like this all year though,...

No for me on Luke. Just seems like an average hooker to me. Xavier is in the broncos long term plans. Only way he leaves there is if he's offered silly money.

Schiller can defend at centre and catch bombs on the wing. This pre-season it's not even a contest between him and Hoppa.

Re: 2024 Rd 1 v Knights: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

The only glaring issue for me given the trials is Hoppa. Would have liked to see something slightly different, but great to see Tapine captain and Savage on the wing. I only hope when Kris comes back Hoppa is not shifting to the wing.

It’s a real tough argument to win to say we play a style that works in big games, when we didn’t win any big games… We play conservative and tough.

I'm sure someone mentioned Savage was training at fullback and wing during pre-season but I can't find the source (poster and fogarty in a video). Only recently it was mentioned Savage had spent a lot of time on the wing, which still indicates he wasn't only on the wing.
