Play like rd 24 first half: Knights by 10
Play like rd 24 second half: Storm by 1000

Bedsys farewell and old boys match should get the boys up but it will unlikely be enough.

 

[Adsy]

FOR BEDSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need the defence from our first half in the match against the Storm down in Melbourne earlier this year, mixed with our attack from the first half against the cows last week.

And if we do that....

Knights 18
Storm 18

We win in golden point after a Storm players puts his knees across the calf muscle of Ben Cross right in front of the posts.

Bedsy runs on and kicks the goal.

Newcastle v Melbourne weekend :crazy:

 

[Apey]

Do it for Danny

I will probably tip Storm in the end though

 

[Geohood]

Storm should win pretty easily.

 

[NK Arsenal]

Where is the dogs balls option?

 

[kia ora storm]

Storm by 18...

Watching the Panthers Vs Storm I noticed Brian Smith in the crowd.

Don't see too many other coaches do that lol.

probably has a rifle too. His aim is to take out every representative Storm player

Newcastle v Melbourne weekend :crazy:

???

Knights vs Storm, Victory vs Jets

 

[pantherz9103]

Don't think the Knights can win without Buderus. But I expect they'll put up a fight unlike the Penrith puddycats. Melbourne still too good though, about 24-12

 

[Apey]

New realistic prediction:

Knights to assert their dominance on this competition, comfortably winning 20 - 16 against the reigning premiers in a final salute to Danny Buderus

 

[Rogue.9]

I hope I'm wrong but without Buderus, Storm to win by 20 & end the Knights shot at the finals.

Close down Gidley...game over.

 

[MSIH]

Haven't gone for Newcastle in a very long time. Not since maybe the '01' GF. Rally.

 

[Rovelli]

No prizes for guessing who I want to win...

 

[KempoKnight]

Close down Gidley...game over.

If Mullen plays like he did against the cowboys Gidley wont be the only one you should worry about.

Looks to be a good game, Knights have a strong pack named for this weekend so looks like we are gunna try and match in up front with the Storm pack.

 

[Serc]

I don't think we'll win, though we knocked off the Titans (when they were 1st on the ladder) with Hilder at hooker earlier this year. We should get close just on emotion alone i think.

Just saw a stat where we've won 8 of our last 10 Old Boys games - that being the last home game of the season, interesting.
