🤖 Thread Summary

Discussions leading up to the Knights vs Warriors game have been dominated by a gastro outbreak within the Knights camp, with multiple players reportedly affected; This situation has led to concerns about the game proceeding fairly and the potential health risks for the Warriors, some users like CWC #123 calling it a "shitnami". Several users including sydneywarrior92 #38 reported on the unfolding situation. There are concerns that the Warriors could be exposed, and the game might become a health hazard.

The possibility of the Knights having to call upon players from their NSW Cup team due to the outbreak has been raised, as JaggedJ #122 notes their NSW Cup team had a bye this week, potentially providing fresh replacements. sup42 #130 and others expect the NRL to grant exemptions to allow the Knights to field a team, similar to past situations with COVID-19 and injury crises while noting that the "show must go on". The potential for the opposition to not field a full team prompted concern from Worried2Death #92 about what point the game would be defaulted.

Earlier discussions revolved around the team selections, particularly Kurt Capewell at centre. Several forum members, like Rick O’Shay #32, questioned the decision to play Capewell out of position when other centres are available. Others, like sydneywarrior92 #56 cited Capewell's defensive capabilities and the need to shut down the Knights' left edge, particularly Bradman Best. There was also debate about Ali Leiataua's readiness and the potential debut of Fatialofa, with some feeling he may be fast tracked; Several users debated back and forth on Ali's readiness including Ref #22 mrblonde #41.

CNK, Barnett, Metcalf! I would argue we are just as hurt, but Adam O'Brian is a terrible coach.

Thats the difference.
Then I feel for them even more. Their three most creative players and a shit coach to boot in a season when the comp is wide open. Yeah, we've been hit too, but that is a separate issue to me feeling for their club and fans. We've been there.
