Dragons to put 50 on the Knights and end their season.

Who'd a thought the Dragons would be the only team to top 50, not once, but twice in 2017.

Nice fantasy there. Much more likely the Knights will push the Drags all the way until the 60 minute mark before capitulating into the familiar Knights rabble we know and love. If the Dragons are complacent they may even lose. They need to remember that Manly were indeed beyond dreadful. Rugby League and especially the NRL has a nasty habit of doing right angle turns from one game to the next.

Momentum and confidence are a wonderful thing.
Newie are worse than Manly.
NOTE: Anything we type in here has no bearing on the result of a game we aren't playing in.

 

[ed-grimley]

The Supercoach race between Mary and Trent goes on.
I'd like to believe Newcastle will win but it won't happen.

 

[Clifferd]

Manly were reserve grade standard against the Dragons. Probably the loss they needed to have

I'll go dragons in a tight one still.

 

[Valheru]

Newcastle are the value of the week at $4.

Knights are overdue for a win and should have beaten this mob a month ago.

You do realize our season ended a long, long time ago, right?

It's not official until you've had 50 put on you apparently.

 

[GongPanther]

Knights can now breath easy that they have new ownership. They'll celebrate with a 40 point win.

 

[OldPanther]

The Knights have some good football in them. This won't be a belting.

 

[Incorrect]

The Knights have some good football in them. This won't be a belting.

Alternately...

The Knights have some derp football in them. This will be a belting.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Dragons to win.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

dragons by 26

 

[Das Gupta]

Saints.

 

[pantherz9103]

I'd love for the Knights to win for themselves and also to help our top 8 hopes but it probably won't happen, considering they couldn't even beat the Dragons a few weeks back when up by 18 points.

 

[Hawkins]

go the dragons

 

[Apey]

The boys will be looking for some payback after the last game so I expect them to lose by 30.

 

[OzDragon]

Hopefully Dufty stays at fullback. Us by 13

 

[Life's Good]

Us with new found fire(courtesy of Dufty). Knights with new owners.
We were lucky last time & won't take Newy lightly. Us by 12 with Vaughan punching holes all over the park - our Matt Scott.
