Knights by 4 wok sackings

Playing for the Steve Southern Shield. If that’s not huge incentive for both sides I don’t know what is.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The cue is in the rack for the Cows, and the Knights have a tonne to play for. Knights by 12

The bluey bowl!!!

 

[This Year?]

If the Pongas don't turn up for this one, they may as well be taking pingas.

Never underestimate the Knights ability to completely shit the bed.

SKD can't drop a Clifford kick if it already goes out on the full

Probably not but the manlet we’ve got on the other wing is capable of it.

Knights of Nih by 14 John Cleeses.

A Knights loss here might actually be a good thing for the club, looking ahead to next year. Better to bomb out and lose all their remaining games from here if it means Brown gets flicked, than somehow sneak into the top 8, get blown off in week 1 and then underwhelm again next year. Alongside the Dragons and the Broncos, they've been the biggest underachievers this season with the roster they've got.

Nah I’m sick of losing. I’ll take sneaking into the 8.

 

[Mr Angry]

Hess in the centres is not a good call.

Would you take sneaking into the 8 to be week 1 cannon fodder if it means Brown's job is saved and 2020 is another underwhelming season with that roster they've got?

If we come 7th or 8th we’ll probably play Souths or hopefully Parramatta. If actually play some football we’re more than capable of beating both.

 

[Silent Knight]

Ahhhh it’s nearly that time of the week when I metaphorically bang my head against the wall. May the least derpiest team win!

 

[Bazal]

A bit of early derp there from Watson to get us warmed up.

WTF was he even doing? Just pass the footy
