Knights for mine.

 

[Jobdog]

I think the Knights can win this one. There are many things to consider in this game. The Knights have a pretty ordinary record at Toyota Park, including some of our heaviest defeats in our history - in particular a 64-14 smashing in 02. IIRC we've only won something like three times there. In saying that, last week we kept our record from this year in tact of WWLLLWWLLLWWLLLW, which should mean we'll win this one this week before losing our next three

 

[Rovelli]

Good points Jobdog.

Toss of the coin stuff here; the Sharks won't miss the playoffs from here, but they could be on the slip-slide. Knights a definite chance.

 

[Joker's Wild]

This will be a massive test for our boys attack-wise. Kids will carry the team once again and the key to winning will rest with who Smithy picks in the halves and on the wings.


Knights in a close one for mine

 

[perverse]

critical game for the knights. looking at the rest of the draw we have for the year, if we can jag this one we can make a very serious run for the finals.

 

[Adsy]

Manly did us no favours by smashing the Sharks. They will be switched on from the get go. But if we can take our 60-80th minute form we have had all year and play like that from the kick-off I reckon we will get home in a tight one.

sharks lose this and its curtains.

must win.

sharks on the slip slide? they have lost one game after winning five in a row

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

they want us to fail.

we do every year. keeps the status quo "rockin all over the world".......

regardless. sharks have to win to stay relevant.

 

[God-King Dean]

Sharks by 10.

 

[Shorty]

Sharks comfortably.

 

[Inferno]

Whose the ref for this one?

*edit, Archer, thank christ.

 

[wolverine]

Sharks should win this one, Gap to widen more between 4th and 5th

 

[cb4]

sharks in a scrappy game

 

[Inferno]

I can see us getting done in Golden Point

 

[Knights_Premiers]

The Sharks will probably just beat us in this one, they will be pumped up after getting belted last week. Sharks by 2

 

[runatme]

sharks 24
newcastle 8

Newcastle have lost Adam McDougall and Steve Simpson for this match... to be replaced by Marvin Karawana and Chris Houston (Mark Leafa onto the bench).
