    That's 19 man squad there Chuck.
    Isn't it supposed to be a 17 man squad.
    Ahh I see. The two extra are the refs. Good thinking.

  Uate is definitely out! ( knee surgey)
  
  Pretty sure McManus is also questionable, that probably why they have bought Tahu into the squad as they are "light on backs"
  
  Mullen returns from injury!

  No I agree Wizard they have a fair bit of strike power in the backs even minus Uate and McManus but I think Sandow should employ the "high bombs again" and put these two young wingers under some pressure, I have no doubt Sandows recent kicking game in the last few matches have got us where we are now so again if he can keep up his kicking game maybe he can run these big knights forwards out of puff!
  
  But yeah should be interesting

  They will be tough to beat at home no doubt - but if we turn up with the right attitude and look on building from last weeks 2nd half performance we will be ok.

  if the Knights team looks good paper than what about the Manly side on paper? Stewart, Matai, Lyon, DCE, Foran, Tafoua, Ballen, Watmough - enough said

  The weakness for Newcastle are their wingers and bench. The Mata'utia brothers are talented but inexperienced so look for Sandow, Norman and Hayne to test them out a lot. The bench, whilst experienced, lacks intimidation. They don't have the benefit of calling on a Peni Terepo, David Gower or Pauli Pauli. If we match them in the opening 20 minutes, we'll have a big chance to break the game open once their starting props go off.

  This game will be hard, they always seem to play well & beat us. But if we are going to go further this year we need to smash them.

  If refs ref fairly we will win convincingly.
