This game is as per the NRL draw on the 11th of July (Sunday) at 2pm.

I am almost certainly going.

Is anyone else on here planning to go? Does the CSSC sit in the away supporters bay or do they have other seats? Does anyone been here in the past and have favourite/preferred seats?

Knights' Cross free to face sharks
Posted July 1, 2010 09:23:00

Newcastle Knights prop forward Ben Cross has been found not guilty of a contrary conduct charge by the NRL judiciary.

Cross was charged with making contact with a referee during the Knights' win over the Gold Coast.

The charge was dismissed and Cross will now be free to take on Cronulla in the Knights round 18 clash in Newcastle

De Gois has extra time to prove fitness for Sharks clash

KNIGHTS coach Rick Stone is not convinced hooker Isaac De Gois will be ready to return from a broken hand against Cronulla at EnergyAustralia Stadium tomorrow week.

De Gois fractured a small bone in the back of his right hand tackling Justin Poore in Newcastle's 6-4 victory over Parramatta at EAS on Monday of last week and missed their 24-16 win against Gold Coast at Skilled Park six days later.

The 25-year-old former Sharks dummy half had hoped to play against the Titans with the aid of a painkilling injection but, because the Knights have a bye this weekend, he was ruled out and given a fortnight to recover in time to play against his old club.

"As long as he's back doing some skills stuff early in the week, I'm hopeful Isaac will be ready. But I'm not going to really test him out until later on next week," Stone said.

"We might test it with a needle again or even leave it until game day and carry an 18th man.

"We'll give Isaac every possible hope of playing because we feel he's an important part of our team, and if he plays, we'll be better off for it."

De Gois wore a protective guard on his hand at training yesterday and did not participate in any significant on-field activities but said he would rejoin his teammates on Tuesday.

He was confident of playing against the Sharks but, after Matt Hilder's impressive performance deputising against the Titans last Sunday, De Gois is taking nothing for granted.

"Trouble [Hilder] is a great player and obviously he can play in the back row or at hooker, which makes him such a valuable player to our team," De Gois said.

"Obviously I'll have to work hard to try to get my spot back, and hopefully I can be back next Sunday.

"We've had two good wins and the bye this weekend, so hopefully we can string a few more wins together and go on and make the semis, then it's a whole new ball game once you do that.

"I didn't think it was too far away, getting back-to-back wins for us, and now that we've done that, a fair bit of confidence came out of it, and hopefully we can kick on against the Sharks.

"They had a great win against the Cowboys last week and every game they play, they're very competitive, so we've obviously got to be on the ball next week."

Stone said the anticipated return of captain Kurt Gidley from NSW Origin duty next Wednesday, and the availability of Cowboys recruit Antonio Kaufusi, would give him a strong squad to pick from.

The coach said Kaufusi looked the goods in his first two training runs yesterday and Thursday.

? Former Knights assistant coach Trent Robinson has been appointed head coach of French-based English Super League club Catalans Dragons for the next three years.

Robinson, who followed former Knights coach Brian Smith to the Roosters at the end of last season to continue his education as one of Smith's assistants, will relocate to Perpignan at the end of the NRL season to replace Kevin Walters at the Dragons.

thats a huge negative, the best team needs to be put on the field, stop the hate blinkers

ye but fergo said it himself he wants to win a premiership, him leaving obviously says that he thinks we cant win a comp. I think we should have someone who wants to play for the team and do their best.

I understand what you're saying Snow but the guy is a disloyal,greasy,money hungry snake.

I believe when Wayne Bennett was still the Shetland Ponies coach back in the early part of the last decade, he punted Justin Hodges to their feeder club at the time as punishment for signing with Eastern Suburbs.

Same thing should apply here.

In your head, rent free
i dont think he should be punted for signing elsewhere, we should be the bigger people in this time and allow him to play... the best 17 will get us to the finals if we want to be there

Nah, punt him. It's not like he's been playing good anyway.

sounds smart, keeping paying a guy on decent coin not to play for us...

Sounds smart, playing a guy who's just publicly rubbished his team mates and club saying they'll never win a premiership.

Get a ****ing clue.

The only option is to drop him. There is no other option. If you think otherwise you are simply wrong. Fans of other teams can't even believe we let him play on the weekend.
