Referee: Jarrod Cole

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.

"Hes a great coach with the worst roster and he still gets them up for games, he's beaten quality sides that some sides struggle to play. Give him a world class roster he'd be playing finals every year, but the front give him ron massey cup roster."

"Can we stop being so dramatic. Paulo has one year left at most he ain't going anywhere. I highly doubt Ryles leaves unless it is for Melbourne and even then unlikely to relocate. Fox wont go. Moses is the only one who could ask to get out.…"

"Not sure if you are or not. All i know, based on information given, was that Ryles pulled out due to Dragons getting involved in who he hired as assistants and their say on recruitment. He also wanted a 5 year deal and they were only going to go…"

We really could have done with footy Dean this year we should have kept him he was way better than anyone we have ATM as a backup

8 weeks losing Jnr man time for the young fullas to step up.

Cant catch a god damn break.

That's a very depressing lineup.

Knights by a thousand 🤣🤣

So again no Lorenzo even though both Pezet and Moses gone, just proves that Lorenzo is Buckley's chance of getting some experience this year and wont be our 6 going forward for 27. It won’t be joash either as he's been jumping into every position

  I'm thinking the same. Neither will be the long term no.6
  
  Wouldn't surprise me if we're looking at Matt Burton, although I thought we should have had a crack at Jake Clifford to partner Moses when he was sitting on Cowboy's low ball offer there for a few weeks.

  Chiefy, I get your view but I doubt Ryles is going to bring him in with such an inexperienced team

We ended the year in 2026 putting 60 on knights. Expect them to return the favour this week.

Have they switched Tuilagi and Kautoga sides? I wonder if it is to try them with different defensive supports, because both have been weak links but Tuilagi especially. Maybe JAC can tidy up when he lets 3 or 4 line breaks go past him.

What sides did they play when in Reggies

  It's just how they have done the presentation. Nothing to see here.

I reckon if we don't sign Burton and some other elite talent i think Ryles, Fox and Moses also paulo walk. The people at front office doing this club no favours at all.
