Knights have had a better season despite their off field woes. They have had a horrible start with injuries prior to season kick off then the McKinnon incident. Now their main playmaker is back in comparison raiders have had a blissful off season

Yep, and on top of that they've had 4 away games including to Melbourne, NQ and Canberra (5 days apart) and in the one close away game against Penrith in round 1 the fullback, hooker and halfback went down and didn't return on top of Mullo who didn't play.

We've only really played 3 halves of terrible footy. Against NQ (which frankly I expected after the emotion of the week before) and the 2nd half against Penrith in round 1 which I can give them a break for considering we lost the whole spine and had most of the team playing out of position. They almost beat Canberra in round 2 and Melbourne in round 3 and easily would have if we had one of Mullo or Boyd. There's also the sad fact that we had 2 blokes arrested in the offseason (one went to jail), the constant media Storm that we won't have an owner or a coach next season, and of course the tragedy that happened to McKinnon whom is a very much loved teammate.

Did we Knights supporters think we'd be in a better position at this stage of the season? Of course. But all things considered I think we're doing as well as we could. Despite how many butthurt Canberra fans try and tell us we're shit and should be embarrassed I'm still incredibly proud of the way the side has handled itself.

Only in your mind.

:lol:

Okay mate. Whatever you say.

In all seriousness though, although the call that both sides have had identical seasons is hilarious, I'll be surprised if either team isn't celebrating Mad Monday after round 26.

Well some of your excuses are just bollocks.

You said the Knights have only had 2 home games......so have the Raiders.

You mention McKinnon, but you've won 2 from 3 since the incident.

You list games you've almost won. We've had chances to win every game this season, nobody has blown us off the park. Doesn't mean sh*t.

Well, your wall-o-drama was pretty lame when you list crap like playing only 2 home games in the first six rounds when the Raiders are in exactly the same boat. Just like losing Russell Packer who is a nobody when the Raiders lost Blake Ferguson (who can actually play) under similar circumstances, not to mention Sandor Earl who was trying to flee the country because he knew what was coming.

Waahhhh, Mullen got injured pre-season - which I guess is a concern for the Knoughts who have traditionally been a one man club...

And it is the severity of McKinnon's injury that is shocking. Otherwise it impacts the Knoughts no more than the Raiders losing Edrick Lee for the season.

So cry me a river, bra.

If you can't work out that the things listed would add up to screw with a side then Raiders fans must be even dumber than I thought. What are you butthurt about now? We've all said that we would like to be in a different spot and that we don't think we're not gonna do a thing unless we improve to beat teams that aren't as shit as the Raiders. That's the thing though. The Knights have had an incredibly disruptive start of the season. At least we have the potential for things to maybe improve. The Raiders don't.

You were the one that compared what happened to Alex McKinnon to Edrick Lee getting a season ending injury.

And the fact that you couldn't debate any of my points specifically but instead could only call me a moron is a pretty fair indication that you know I'm right.

Anyway, I've made my point. See you blokes next year. Good luck with Stuart.

Not only are you a moron, you seem to be illiterate as well.

Yeah, Alex McKinnon's injury had such an impact on the Knoughts that they lost their next game 0 - 26.

I debated your points specifically but it didn't fit in with your "woe is us" mentality so you just ignored it.
