[GongPanther]

God knows what score this will be.Unless it rains,and rains hard,the Knights are in for a long day.

Warriors 44-10.

FTS Johnston.

 

[Panther91-03]

Warriors 36-4

 

[9701]

Knights by 10

 

[Apey]

Load up on the Knights here.

 

[mozza91]

Will be closer than most are expecting. Warriors will be too good though.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Shows the basketcase that is the Warriors that I'd be much more confident in them not being flat out geniused if they were playing a top 4 side.

Probably going to Mt Smart for the first time for this too

 

[Leber]

Warriors suck balls round one. Plus with no Foran, Thompson, matulino and manu, could be ripe For an upset here.

Knights looked good in the trials too

 

[Frederick]

Knights will have two debutants in this game, Luke Yates and Sam Stone

 

[SilentOne]

First home game at Mt Smart in Rd1 since 2009, Warriors by 10.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Will be closer than most are expecting. Warriors will be too good though.

agree. i think the knights will put in a real showing but ultimately be out classed. ill be surprised if theres more then 2 tries in it.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Warriors by 8

 

[This Year?]

Only the stupid or the brave would tip the Knights and so what if I'm stupid and/or brave!

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Warriors by whatever. If they seriously can't beat the Knights on their own turf in Round f**king 1, when even a team like Newcastle that is a basket case to begin with hasn't even shaken off the pre-season rust, you can put a fork in 'em right now.

Heart says Knights, head says Warriors, because life could never be that gloriously interesting.

 

[Whino]

Warriors to be behind most of the game and break the Knights hearts with a last minute try.

 

[TheFrog]

Knights to be very competitive for about 50 minutes before capitulating.

 

[Johns Magic]

Knights paying $19 for 13+, time to load up.

 

[GongPanther]

Knights paying $19 for 13+, time to load up.

If form is any indication,you quickly jump right on that with a lazy lobster.

But that was trial form,which to me is fools gold.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Can only see three possible outcomes in this game.

1) Big deal, it's only the Knights, any club "should" smash them.

2) Lol. They may have got the win, but barely scraping passed the Knights at home doesn't say much for your chances this year.

3) OMG LMAO, Warriors suck, can't believe they lost to the Knights.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

I am surprised the Warriors haven't won a round 1 match since 2009. everyone will be backing them heavily to thrash the Knights.

On that note. Knights to finally end their losing streak with a 8 point win.
