“They’re a bit more unpredictable now with Turbo out at the back,” Lee said.
“We’ll use video to see where we can win the game.”
"It's something that I do. I hold myself accountable"
One thing for sure… the Knights might have a bit of extra intel into his replacement.

“If our forwards can stand up against the Manly forward pack, it will put us in a good position to win the game,” he added.
“If we can stick to our game plan, making sure we are in the grind early on.

“It’s just a matter of us making sure we complete our sets, really get in to the grind of the game to earn the right to use the ball.”

The Knights just have to use it to their advantage.
“It was something we spoke about early in the pre-season to make McDonald Jones Stadium a fortress again,” Lee maintained.
