[Chook Norris]

Smith vs Freddy :crazy:

 

[Joker's Wild]

If the Knights dont win this then it is very close to season over. Mullo wont return this week and Dureau has yet again agrivated an injury so it looks like Gids will be wearing the #7.

Knights by 18 if they pull their fingers out

 

[Jobdog]

*sigh*

Gids at halfback, Rogers at five-eighth. Serious problems ...

 

[jpaciocco91]

Knights by 16

 

[Apey]

Knights need to bounce back badly here..

 

[Sleep]

Knights by alot. Roosters have closed up shop for the year and it shows.

 

[Jobdog]

This game will be the only game for the remainder of the year the Roosters will actually have a dig. It'll be a lot closer than people think.

 

[Whoosh]

Knights by plenty.

[Non Terminator]

Knights by 25. Because field goals are too awesome.

perhaps... but only for the first half of the game

from the 50min mark.. you guys will definitely be in front by 13+

That's when we clock off as well.

 

[Non Terminator]

Let's see. An example of what we might expect.

10th Min - Roosters 6-0
20th Min - 6-all
30th Min - Roosters 12-6
40th Min - 12-all
50th Min - Knights 18-12
60th Min - Knights 24-12
70th Min - Knights 24-16
80th Min - Knights 42-16

If I'm close on this one, that would be horrible, yet awesome.

 

[mozza91]

We'll be up by plenty at some stage but will probably leak a few tries at the end Knights by 16 (40 if they play for the full 80 minutes)

 

[Stranger]

Roosters boys will need to turn up to impress their next coach. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my money on the knights at all...

That being said we SHOULD win by the length of a straight but we are playing as half-assed as the roosters have been.

 

[neeknitsuj]

Mini out again

 

[Non Terminator]

SKD replacing him. Kick in the arse for those who were excited for him being out this week, and a major kick in the arse to Williamson.

 

[Non Terminator]

And mistakes in the first two sets. This is going to be a fun night.

 

[neeknitsuj]

Knights look off. C'mon Roosters!

 

[Timmah]

Mini sucks at being uninjured...
