[AlwaysGreen]

Knights to get their third win in 30 odd games.

We're headed for relegation.

 

[Hawkins]

AlwaysGreen does not speak for the rest of us.

But if we lose we will naturally have to execute a player.

 

[Card Shark]

Always entertaining.....& the footy should be ok too.

 

[GongPanther]

Knights have their swagger back,and the Raiders have lost their mojo.

Knights by 4.

 

[Das Gupta]

A Knightmare coming for the Knights.

 

[Pete Cash]

This game worries me.

For starters the knights have been a bit of a boogeyside for us. Yeah we didnt lose to them last year but we nearly did twice and we were lucky to get a draw and a win to be honest. The win came off a freakish try.

We are also playing like a busted arse. The forward pack has been really only Papalii and Paulo that have played good games. Papalii is out for idiocy and the bench is going to be even more horrible than normal. Sia is probably going to have to play in the second row which means some plodder like Lui is going to have to play serious minutes.

Now Hodgson is starting to find form. Which is good but if the pack is getting f**king owned it means the knights will be up in his face every time he touches the ball. He really needs the pack to get a roll on so he can take a step out of dummy half without getting smashed.

Yep I have a bad feeling here.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

either side by 6

same stone quietly going about his business for rookie of the year

 

[FireFalcons1]

Raiders easily, 13+ margin

 

[ed-grimley]

Ricky will have a major melt-down.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Always entertaining.....& the footy should be ok too.

These threads have taken a hit since the Knights reached "99 Magpies" level of sh*t.

Good chance we'll lose this, so that could help things.

 

[Nice Beaver]

I know the Knights usually worry the Raiders......but I reckon Raiders comfortably here. By 28

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Raiders

 

[Silent Knight]

Don't worry Pete my team has the unique ability of providing a boost for teams that are struggling on form. My prediction is Rapana scores 4 tries and Raiders win by 42.

 

[Rhyno]

Raiders by 20

 

[Whino]

Raiders by lots.

 

[Paullyboy]

If we don't win by 30, we're not trying.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

croker needs 17 points to jump matt orford to 18th on the all time list.

Possible this week

 

[Paullyboy]

croker needs 17 points to jump matt orford to 18th on the all time list.

Possible this week

The thing I take out of that is that I can't believe that Orford scored so many points.
