Craig Fitzgibbon’s ladder leaders were hammered by Penrith last weekend. They’ll be without star man Nicho Hynes. Is this enough for the Eels to spring a surprise?
In his weekly offering, the Knights, Blues and Australia great wrote about how the Maroons can’t possibly claim the underdog status again this year. That doesn’t mean it won’t stop them from trying. He also has some thoughts on tonight’s match and the Knights-Bulldogs clash that will take place on Friday night.Well, here it is.
Anyway, back to the moment at hand. Thanks to no Nicho Hynes or Cam McInnes due to Origin, and some head noise following last week’s horror show against Penrith, the Sharks are looking a bit shaky. It isn’t often the team at the top of the table could be described in such a manner. Then we have the Eels. They’ve lost a stack of games - and a coach - already this year. But they do have two positives heading into this one. Mitchell Moses and Clint Gutherson are both back from injury.
Stick with us for the next two-and-a-bit hours as we bring you all the action from tonight’s match - and all your NRL and Origin news from another day in rugby league.
