I'm just hoping we are written off now.
People can laugh but that's sometimes the sort of humiliating loss that can help you as the much hyped defending Premiers.

It strips away the veneer and leaves the players in no uncertain terms about the enormity of the challenge ahead.

Our poor start to last season which included some awful losses I believe galvanised the team.

Let's hope this has a similar effect.

And speaking from a purely neutral perspective, this is the turbo charged jolt that the fairly weak 2019 season desperately needed.

It was looking like a dull 3 team comp. But suddenly a new contender has emerged. And maybe when injuries clear up the Raiders, Sharks and Sea Eagles will join the fray too.

The ultimate challenge for the Knights now is to play like that every week. There's NO EXCUSE not to do so because they're clearly capable.

well done knights. Too good. You now it’s a bad game when you spend the last 15 minutes hoping you don’t concede 50. Can’t believe Pearce is copping any credit for that win. His kicking in first half kept us in the game.

Great passing game with Pearce and ponga their attack is very crisp. Klemmer was awesome. The entire forward pack defended great bench included
