Going to my first away game in years, despite it being pretty close.. don't think we'll win here but here's hoping we put the effort in :crazy:

 

[Jono078]

I'm feeling good about this one.

Knights to win 32-20.

 

[perverse]

... and the tough matches continue for the knights. i personally think we're capable of nearly anything if we sort out the little things in our game (in particular - finding some centres). this match is a bit of a tall order though - although once again i expect the knights to go down swinging and should be in the match for the full 80 minutes.

heart says knights, head says roosters in another tough and exciting match. one thing you have to give us this year - we've been entertaining.

 

[Chook Norris]

Roosters have won 3 in a row

Knights have lost 3 in a row? (but lost due to goal kicking on all occasions if my memory serves me correctly)

 

[Timmah]

I think it's time for the tide to turn. I'll take Newcastle in this one.

lol
roosters by 24

how long's the train take up to gosford?

 

[Timmah]

1h20 or thereabouts?

Depends how many signal failures you get ;-)

 

[brooksy19]

bugger.

for some reason I thought this game was on Sat night.

Can't go as it clashes with Tigers game.. Spewin.

 

[Timmah]

Same... would've loved to go to both, RL on the Coast and at the "other G"... I'll take the easy option and go to this one though - got places to be after the game.

Roosters by 4.

Knights will make them work for it.

 

[Geohood]

Knights beat us last year after they were thumped 71-6 by Broncos so I'll expect any result.

 

[Timmah]

I really think it'll be a bastard on Tele trying to decipher the teams with what, IMO, are two quite similar jerseys. Particularly given the ground will be half-sun half-shade most of the day

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

wtf :?

we've played the dragons when they had a jersey that was 50-50 red/white ... won't be a problem

okay....
Roosters

v.
Knights

shouldn't be too hard

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

you only have to look at pearce and gidley modelling them on the roosters website to see ot won't be a problem

:?


One is Red and white with white shorts and white socks...

The other is majority blue, with red and white stripes, blue shorts and blue socks...


If you can't decipher that, I'd get your eyes checked

 

[Timmah]

Given they're both hooped, both have red and white in them and players will be ducking in and out of shade throughout the months I think it will become a hard thing to pick up at some point during the same. Pictures on an internet forum are fine but it's on the day I'm talking about.

 

[Geohood]

As long as we don't accidently pass the ball to the opposition its all good.

 

[Serc]

Roosters to win but we won't be embarrased...one of those games where you want near to your best roster on the park but we'll be missing a couple of our better players (incl Simpson).
