'12 | R2 | Sun | Sharks 6-18 Knights | Toyota

[Haffa]

Our forwards will need to stand up this week, certainly got the class in the backs to win just need to dominate the sharks pack which won't be easy.

Snowden to score the match winner. Kiss the Knights badge in celebration.

Knights by 6.

 

[Valheru]

IMO this is the most interesting game of the weekend. The loser will really start to feel the pressure with a 0-2 start. Both teams are coming off infamous golden point losses but Cronulla impressed me where Newcastle didn’t. The Knights do get the long turnaround though whilst the sharks back up from torturous conditions.

Sharks to sneak home.

 

[2010Dragons]

Sharks by 20 points.

 

[Mr Angry]

I am of the opinion Wayne will tinker with side before he gets the config right.

This is to our advantage.

Still like all games, hold the pil, win the game.

[Psylence]

Cutherbertson to make 426 errors and still be rated highly

Knights new combos will start to click and will be hard to beat. All Newcastle have to do is shut down Gallen, the Knights have too many good players for Cronulla to shut down.

Pretty equal forward pack but Knights classy backline should get them the win.

knights forwards have no mongrel
buderus is the weak link

As well as Toupou, Smith, Bakuya, Carney, Graham and Gardner :lol:

I think the sharkies may just get us here, especially at home. The Knights still look to be finding their feet a bit and working on new combinations and it will probably take a few more weeks to really click...where the sharks look to have started the season firing and really should have won last week.

It'll all come down to the forwards. If the Knights' pack can aim up we'll win, but if it's a repeat of last week the sharks should sneak home 1-12.

I reluctantly tipped the Newcastle Knights. I just have a feeling about this Sharks team early in the season. I think they can make a fast start to the year. After that is anyone's guess, especially around Origin time. I don't see them as a wooden spoon team with a healthy Todd Carney.

Newcastle will eventually click in to gear. Again, this side will live and die with Mullen. If he fires and plays to his potential whilst staying fit, this side can be a premiership threat. I look at 2013 as being a year where they're worthy of the praise some have bestowed upon them in the pre-season. I think 2012 is a little early for talk of a premiership. Bennett has never won in year one with any team he has coached. I can't see him bucking the trend with this team.

 

[God-King Dean]

Was going Sharks, but with Gibbs out Knights by 14.

De Gois ain't a slouch either. Nor is Bukuya you idiot. He's an absolute gun and will be dominant for a long time to come.

 

[coolumsharkie]

He looks a little bit bigger this year too. Perfect impact forward off the bench.

There's a reason we got rid of De Gois "you idiot".

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I think the Sharkies might get up today.
