However, star second-rower Aidan Guerra has leapt to Barnett’s defence. I think they’re probably a bit off there if they’re not mentioning him in their 17,” he told reporters on Thursday. “I’ve played alongside him for a year and played against him for a couple of years before that and I think the value he can add to this side will do this club justice for some time to come.” Barnett and Guerra will both be competing for an edge position in the Knights’ pack along with rising stars Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Sione Mata’utia and Sam Stone. Both can also play lock
— likewise new recruit David Klemmer and Herman Ese’ese. It makes the upcoming trials leading into Round 1 all the more important. “I don’t think anything is set, I don’t even think Browny has got his mind made up yet so I think that’s what this next two month block and into the trial matches will iron out these decisions for Browny,” Guerra said. “I’ve always said to Browny that I prefer edge and I’ve said to every coach that I have had that I prefer edge, I know I’m capable to play both and I can value add to the side no matter where I am. I’ve played a lot in the middle in my career and a lot on the edge and I just try to do my best at both of them.
