[The unknown]

Too many injuries and we've run out of puff

Knoughts will put us to the sword

Nah, need you blokes to pull your finger out so neutrals have a bandwagon to jump on. Would be good to avoid being forced to cheer for parra, manly or roosters! It makes me physically ill

Same

As much as I want to win i can’t see it happening with all our outs and I’d much rather see the knights in the semis then Brisbane or Penrith

 

[mozza91]

If the Tigers fans are happy to concede can we just have the 2 points now?

 

[simmo05]

Forfeit hahaha

 

[footy75]

This is an interesting game. The winner will be right in the mix for a top 8 spot.

The loser is done.

Nah. As the game gets closer I’ll build up some unfounded hope in my head.

‘Hmm Reynolds at 9 could add some spark’

‘Talau looked ok last week’

‘Eisenhuths had 53 bad games in a row, he’s due for a good one’

I’ll sit there watching it, hating you guys, saying every call against us is a dud one, then at fulltime realize it’s just that we’re shit, congratulate you and hope you win the next 2 games aswell.

But until then go f*#k yourself

Replace Reynolds with Levi, Talau with Sione and Eisenhuth with Mann and we’re practically talking about the same team.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

There won't be any miracles here. If Newcastle are serious about playing finals, they win this easy

 

[Valheru]

Wests, purely because it is in Campbelltown.

Wests, purely because it is in Campbelltown.

Our record at Campbelltown isn’t too flash from memory. Although we do tend to beat the knights here, including one where we came back from 24-0 down.

I expect Knights to win their last 3 games but not sure if it will be enough to make the top 8... I think Broncos and Sharks only need to win 2 games to make it.

It will only be for one week anyway. I suspect most neutrals will hitch onto the Raiders, at least they'll last 2 weeks,maybe even 3.

I think it works out to us needing the Broncos to drop 2, or the Sharks to drop 1. F/A will also be a factor, particularly in the Sharks scenario. It's a tight window, but it isn't shut yet.

With the Brown announcement this game takes on another interesting dimension. Will the Knights players want to send him out a winner, or do they not give a shit from this point? Could go either way.

I bet it will be the latter

Yeah, i do have a 89 gf grudge against the raiders....

Our record at ctown is shit

 

[TheFrog]

Knights might have put a score on a completely demoralised Cows last week, but they lost 6 straight before that and the coach has been shown the door. I think Tiges will get up here.
