Parra would take some confidence out of beating Manly but the Knights should knock them off at home. The Eels were still terrible, especially out wide.

If we can sort out our right side defence we will be right. The attack is there and we can score points. I can see this being a big score.

Confidence is the key we have got a good boost by beating manly but still know there is work to do. Ill go parra by 8

i can't see Parra beating us if we play as we have the past 2 weeks. we should be too good for them pretty much across the park.

it's this feeling that puts me on red alert, though. a tentative us by 14.

Games we should win over the years immediately send alarm bells ringing.

And in all honesty, this is a game we should win. Lets see whether this team is different from ones in past years.

I was hoping we could rack up a big win this match to really improve our F/A, but the Eels win vs Manly last week might spur them with additional confidence. If the Knights play anything like they did against the Bulldogs, Knights by 13+ is on the cards

Gidley had surgery on his injured knee this arvo. Out for 2-4 weeks.

You could cut this one with a knife, with the confidence the Eels will gain from their win, but Bennett will surely not allow his team to lose against the 16th placed Parra.

Knights by 6 in a nail biter.

Confidence will win the game and unfortunatley Knights are lacking it. We gained a bit but if we win here then we will be on our way for a few more wins

I do admit I'd be a lot more confident of an Eel's victory if Gidley were playing, but sometimes you gotta play with injuries to key players.

On top of Manly's shit recent form they were missing some of their best players and a few of them were playing injured/just came back from injury plus, its not like Eels played THAT great and smashed them either, they got lucky to play a weakened out of form Manly side so I have no idea where all this 'eels are back' rubbish is coming from (remember sharks beat them too lol) the Knights are building towards something special, this really is a game they'll surely win easily but as jobdog said knights do have a history of losing should win games. Hopefully bennett has changed that around and they start to show why they were premiership favourites in the off season this weekend. Knights by 16
