[This Year?]

It must really suck having round 25 as a bye, The Knights will have a dig unlike the dragons who can't even have a go to honour a former player, a retiring player and to keep a top 4 spot.

 

[jargan83]

Load up on the Knights, we are pathetic today and I can’t see us recovering.

 

[Apey]

The Dragons could ask for no better opposition to come up against in the last round of the season. We're the masters at getting opposition team's seasons back on track.

 

[Life's Good]

My interest in this game only lies in our team selection. Will Dufty be on the bench, will Nighty get a go at halfback, will we see a return of Jake Marketo to save us?

Knights 26-10.

 

[Rabbits20]

Knights for an ugly win to finish off the season.

Knights by 8.

 

[mozza91]

St George’s horrible form coupled with our inability to beat them at home and likely absence of Ponga, Watson and probably Fitzy.

I’m picking a 0-0 draw here.

 

[Haffa]

Dragons first win on their march to an unlikely premiership.

GKD to get hit by a few dozen stray bread loaves.

 

[TheFrog]

We're the masters at getting opposition team's seasons back on track.

Pity you didn't do it for us.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Pity you didn't do it for us.

They're not miracle workers.

No one can save Penrith's season.

 

[jargan83]

St George’s horrible form coupled with our inability to beat them at home and likely absence of Ponga, Watson and probably Fitzy.

I’m picking a 0-0 draw here.

That would probably be a great result for us,

 

[counterpuncher]

After having it all to play for yesterday and delivering arguably the worst performance by any team in the competition all season... surely zero hope here.

Knights 20-4.

 

[Leber]

Knights, please please please please please win.

Please.

 

[Das Gupta]

Knights

 

[OzDragon]

Can't see us winning another game this year tbh. Will be interesting to see who gets selected for this game though. Knights by 13+

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Knights by 20. How many 7 tackle restarts will
Be supplied by hunt?

 

[GongPanther]

Knights by 14. Dragons are in a serious downfall.

 

[Puntoue]

Can honestly see the Knights racking up a score here.

Knights 30+ to nil

 

[TheFrog]

They're not miracle workers.

No one can save Penrith's season.

Let me explain the difference. We know we are shit. You think you are not.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Can honestly see the Knights racking up a score here.

Knights 30+ to nil

Actually I don’t, I see a very embarrassed Dragons bouncing back in a big way.
