Put it this way skeepey, if the Knights and Raiders both get an even share regarding injuries, the Knights will finish above the Raiders. I can assure you of that :)
The Raiders have quite a bit of depth this year, one of the other reasons why they should be well entrenched in the 8.

Where would the Knights finish without Mullen given Canberra have already lost Campese?

I just honestly can't see how.

At full strength, the Raiders sh*t all over the Knights.

1. Josh Dugan > 1. Kurt Gidley
2. Blake Ferguson < 2. Akuila Uate
3. Jarrod Croker > 3. Junior Sau
4. Joel Thompson > 4. Adam MacDougall
5. Daniel Vidot > 5. James McManus
6. Terry Campese > 6. Ben Rogers
7. Matt Orford > 7. Jarrod Mullen
8. Tom Learoyd-Lahrs > 8. Antonio Kaufusi
9. Travis Waddell < 9. Isaac De Gois
10. David Shillington > 10. Neville Costigan
11. Joe Picker > 11. Cory Paterson
12. Bronson Harrison > 12. Zeb Taia
13. Alan Tongue > 13. Matt Hilder

14. Brett White > 14. Richie Fa'aso
15. Dane Tilse > 15. Evarn Tuimavave
16. Shaun Fensom > 16. Chris Houston
17. Glenn Buttriss > 17. Mark Taufua

Honestly, it's not even close.

And yes, Josh McCrone owns Ben Rogers as well.

With no Mullen, we'd struggle I reckon. But so would the Raiders without Campese if they had not landed Orford.

Ben Rogers is a future immortal. Want proof? Simply watch the 08 semi against Manly. Mesmerising.

Sau is daylights ahead of Croker. Sau's a NZ Internation for gods sake.

Picker better then Paterson? :lol:

Houston >>>>> Fensom

Mullen's better the Orford.

McManus >>>>>> Vidot

Hilder's better then Tongue

Buttriss is very average. Taufua is better then him

Taia is on par with Harrison. Was unlucky to miss out on his NZ jersey with his dud shoulder

McManus is sh*thouse
The only terrible game i've seen him play, was in Origin. He's a very, very solid winger. Great under the high ball and a beast in defence and makes plenty of metres from dummy half.

I'd rather Vuna, but he's still a very good winger. He made Origin because he was playing consistent football since '07 and got a shot for NSW in '09. He's had a lot of trouble with his ankle since, but he looks extremely fit and healthy over the off-season .

Vidot will probably make his origin debut this year. Vidot is a much better prospect than McManus who is a good honest winger.

Sau is most certainly NOT daylights ahead of Croker. Who cares if he's a NZ international? Croker was selected for the train on squad for the Kangaroos last year, and he's simply a better player.

Picker better then Paterson? :lol:

Yes.

Houston >>>>> Fensom

Houston has been out of football for a long time, and should still be out of it IMO. Fensom is a superior player in every way.

Mullen's better the Orford.

No. He really isn't. For the simple reason that Mullen is rarely, if ever, sighted playing at his best. Orford is a Dally M medal winner, how many of those does Mullen have?

McManus >>>>>> Vidot

Now you're just getting stupid. I won't even dignify that with a response.

Hilder's better then Tongue

Bahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buttriss is very average. Taufua is better then him

There are only a small number of players in the NRL that Taufua is better than. Buttriss is not one of them.

Taia is on par with Harrison. Was unlucky to miss out on his NZ jersey with his dud shoulder

Dude, now you're just embarrassing yourself. Who is the first second rower picked for New Zealand for every single test match they play? I'll give you a hint: It's one of the two mentioned, and his name does not start with Z.

Sau and Croker are about the same
Mullen is better than Orford (well the Orford that was playing ESL, as he was crap last year)
McManus is one of the greatest in the game (but then he is a Scot:))

But really all those players are nothing special and all very similar - not a current world beater among them.

Why do these threads always turn into a Knights Vs Raiders bashing session?

Allstar Knights I don't even know why you're trying to have a reasonable discussion with Skeepe, the bloke obviously hates our club beyond all rational thought.

You're just bashing your head against a brick wall. Find something more constructive to do than just argue with the Knights public enemy #1 on this forum.
