It's nice to see Souths winning again. Takes me back a couple of years.

 

[ed-grimley]

Rabbits probably.

 

[GongPanther]

Is anyone going to actually watch this?

Maybe some Benny Hill instrumentals might help rescue this potential cluster f**k.

 

[TheFrog]

Poor Knights would have been looking to this match as a potential win after Souths had umpteen losses. But the Rabbitohs have been knocking off top 8 sides in recent weeks and unfortunately the Knights won't have an answer to that.

The Sunday FTA TV game, for goodness sake. This is right out of left field, completely at odds with Nine's usual methods. The Nine formula should have come up with Sharks-Roosters which wouldn't be much better, but the Roosters are playing on the following Thursday in Brisbane, and the Broncos must be televised no matter what, and for some reason all Newcastle home games have to be day time it seems. They could not have known that Titans-Panthers would be such a crucial match, so really, they should have done the NZ match.

LOL alien starting to show his face again after 2 wins

[Rhino_NQ]

usually under these circumstances you'd say this would be a good chance for newcastle to blood in some rookies and look to the next season. But that was round 1 lol

We've got players back from injury, we've hit some form, playing as a team again.. so, naturally, Knights by 12.

apart from joe the burgii's handling was actually pretty good apart from a great shot under the ribs on sam i think to lodge it out.

Doesn't happen 2 games in a row, because they aren't automatic strip penalties anymore is probably an extra 2 sets each for the knights

 

[Whino]

Souths by lots and lots.

 

[Rhyno]

Souths by 12

 

[THE CHAMP]

Will musgrove play?
Or will he be busy on mars preparing it for human habitation?
