Fullback Isaiah Iongi returns from an ankle injury suffered in Round 4 so Joash Papalii moves to five-eighth alongside Ronald Volkman, who takes over from Mitch Moses (hamstring). Forward Kitione Kautoga (knee) is also back on deck and Sam Tuivaiti is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a shoulder injury. Skipper Junior Paulo is set to miss eight weeks of footy after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure for his right knee due to chronic injury. Jack Williams lines up at prop and will also captain the side in the absence of Moses and Paulo.

"I get the feeling ryles may do a ricky stuart and leave at the end of the season and go to the dragons or storm. No signings except sua things are not looking good. Cowboys lose drinkwater, perdue will go to fullback ramien centre and katoa will…"

"I reckon O'neill is scrambling as to play mind games with other clubs that Sam isn't even good enough to get onto our starting 17 lol. After fucking up Sams initial extension, now hes scrambling as PNG and the bears are making the players market…"

    I reckon O'neill is scrambling as to play mind games with other clubs that Sam isn't even good enough to get onto our starting 17 lol. After fucking up Sams initial extension, now hes scrambling as PNG and the bears are making the players market in the extreme extreme something O'neill failed to forcast once again. His initial 2 year diddely squat extension was a major fuck up considering the teams coming in. It should have taken him up to 2029 at least
    
    Again O'neill fckd up major
    
    A 2 year extension for a future star and our only recognised prop going forward was the joke of the century

that's one depressing Lineup. i don't know how we're going to get out of this mess with that bald kunt and the tigers fan still there

I don't get why Ryles is so adamant on playing NRL players in cup before coming into the NRL squad

Is there anywhere else where your starting hooker and fullback play a game in cup before coming into the 17? Just seems odd

Knights 13+

Dylbags and Ponga to put a some fair amount of points on us

I get the feeling ryles may do a ricky stuart and leave at the end of the season and go to the dragons or storm. No signings except sua things are not looking good. Cowboys lose drinkwater, perdue will go to fullback ramien centre and katoa will replace tuilagi who is joining easts. We lose players and replace with no one

Oh wow. I wonder if Ryles is questioning his life choices yet.

Here's hoping Newcastle play very, very badly.
