[Joker's Wild]

Cross out
Mullo in doubt
Rogers in doubt

Not confident at all in winning this game after yesterdays capitulation. Big turn around needed.

Knights by 6 if the boys can lift
Broncos by 20 if they cant

 

[Mr Saab]

Broncos with 8 days rest....coming off a training run vs the eels....about to play an injury hit Knights....

This could get ugly.

 

[Knights_Premiers]

er, they'll kill us.

 

[Jobdog]

Broncos are no hope ...

 

[Apey]

This would be a much better game had we come through Sunday unscathed imo (and perhaps even victorious lol), but what can you do.

Not confident at all. Any score line that keeps our positive differential intact would be considered quite an achievement at the moment.

 

[Serc]

If the Broncos don't beat us by more than 1-2 tries...they will have played pretty poorly (at least by their standards)

Very, very ugly.

 

[DeeJ]

This will be Lockyer's 300th game in the NRL. Will Knights fans respect this achievement?

 

[Adsy]

Of course we will. What a silly question. We will even lose on purpose so Locky can celebrate game 300 with a win.

 

[Jobdog]

Of course we will. What a silly question. We will even lose on purpose so Locky can celebrate game 300 with a win.

Or conversely, "win on purpose" seeing as the Broncos beat us at Joey's farewell ...

 

[Stewie Griffin]

with michaels and kenny looking to receive disciplinary action from the club, if it is a suspension, it might just help the knights.

 

[Timmah]

Michaels? Kenny? They've got better players.

 

[Ghoulies]

Kenny is our best prop at the moment. Michaels is very replaceable though.

 

[Spike]

Broncos should win this one comfortably

 

[Adsy]

We are nicer then the Broncos though.

 

[Jobdog]

Not too sure how you win on purpose though :lol:

 

[macavity]

Broncos by 30.

The club is saying they will not suspend them over the "incidents" in Byron. They will cop a fine and likely have to do the equivalent of community service.

 

[Serc]

lol, as if the club would do anything anyway!

Oh and HTFU macavity
