Important game for us this.
Hoping for a win, suspect that Henry will play and it will be interesting to see how he goes.
As an aside a repeat of a few weeks back limited social media again forecast in newsletter. Oddly this is to do with an upgrade in service. I can’t unpick that one but good to know in advance. Others may be interested in the article on love rugby league which references general comms incompetence across the game. Broncos do get a mention for their non antics of a few weeks back. Some insights that haven’t percolated down to the fans which may be of interest.

Feels like this will be a real barometer of where we are at. Newcastle are a difficult team to gauge and I can equally see us getting a good result and getting turned over. We're off the back of probably our most complete performance of the season so far, hopefully we carry that momentum onwards.

Scoring early doors might be key. Hopefully Henry can make us a little less predictable and ope up their defence.

I'd agree with that and hopefully he has a positive first game for us. Watching him at the World cup and NSW Cup footage, his kicking game seems somewhat similar to Oli's but much more of a threat with the ball in hand than Horsman and has the size to actually take the ball into the line effectively.

Not sure what condition Waine is in so not necessarily expecting him to play. Would be good to see him get a run too though.

Any local radio stations covering the game at all do we know?

Nope. It looks completely off grid.

I like this half time score. I don’t who scored. I don’t know what’s going on. But the score line looks good.18-0

3 out of 4 conversions missed. That’s costly. Must do something about this.

We’ve won this. So that’s good. Onto Swinton next week.

Re: Newcastle : Sun Mar 19, 2023 7:33 am  

So it appears Walker x 3, Bassett, Waine, Natoli & Bill Leyland with tries & Oli x4 conversions.
