It certainly is, and I'm hoping for a win. Last week was much bigger than the win though. Gagan and Brown showed they are not just forum talk, and Leutele has me sold as well.

Still not sure why they havent promoted holmes, but i guess its hard to make changes to the team thats set club records 2 weeks straight

I'm starting to think they want to hold him back until next season, unless injuries hit.

Thats fair enough but imo id be giving blokes as much experience as possible while its a write off now.
Look at arona, he has had a great year for us imo, wouldnt have played without injuries to gal lewis fifita etc, now he is killing it.

Isn't there an exemption to the second tier cap after round 20 if we verse teams who can't make the 8 or something along those lines? That's why Canberra wasn't allowed to play someone against us before?

while we are still the slightest chance ( i think we are no chance, but strager things have happened...haha), i think they will keep giving val time in NSW cup.

I like that team but as a few of us are saying I dont understand about Holmes, he killed it in NSW cup last week I heard, why cant they just at least continue him in NSW cup rest of the season? If Holmes leaves because of limited chances sometime next year I will be pretty angry with the club!

Cause Gardners back from rep duty, that's why Holmes is back in the 20's.

I realise that but is Gardner able to play on the wing, even Holmes, have both in the reserves?

I think your on the money. The other forum suggested a couple of weeks ago, that he would get a run after round 20. Cap restraints

Gardner can't play wing, he's too small, Holmes probably can, but for some reason maybe they're avoiding playing him on the wing. Maybe they see him in the same light as Gards.

Im just hoping that they are not underestimating his potential, his got more potential then Gardner I reckon, easily
And prior and Holdsworth chipped in.

Because they have more impact off the bench once the opposition is tired

Wayne Bennett ends speculation on future by quitting as coach of Newcastle Knights
WAYNE Bennett has stunned Newcastle Knights staff and players this morning by telling them he is quitting as coach at the end of the season.
Bennett will officially announce he is departing after three years at the helm at a press conference after training today.
He will see out the rest of the season but it’s unclear at this stage where his coaching future in the NRL lies.
He has been linked to a possible return to St George Illawarra next season with the speculation set to grow now that he has severed ties with the Knights.
Originally signed until the end of the 2015 season under the former ownership of Nathan Tinkler, Bennett’s contract had to be re-negotiated when the NRL took control of the club several weeks ago.
At the time, NRL boss Dave Smith publicly declared he wanted Bennett to stay on for the long term to help rebuild the Knights under a new ownership model.
But the eight times premiership-winning coach said he would have to weigh up his future before committing himself to another long-term deal.
He spent several days during the Knights bye weekend mulling over what he intended to do before coming to his decision to leave.
“What’s happened at the club this season has just worn him out,” one source said.
“The jailing of Russell Packer, the off-field dramas with Tinkler and the shocking injury to Alex McKinnon have all affected him.
“The Alex situation in particular has really hit him hard.”
Bennett arrived at the Knights with a four year deal and the expectation that he would deliver another premiership in that time frame.
After a disappointing first season, he took the club to within one game of the grand final in 2013 but his team is now in a battle to avoid the wooden spoon this season.

That was always going to happen, I'd be very surprised if he isn't the broncos coach next year
