I'd be afraid if I was the Knights. The media are trying to smear us with BS. Wayne will have built a bunker mentality this week and he will have the boys fired up to shut the haters up on the field.

Souths by 20+. You heard it here first.

So its safe to say you got dis?

I feel a lot better now BM has called for the win

You are a godsend.

So the winner of tomorrow faces Eels then Panthers to make the GF. Meanwhile the Raiders have the Roosters then the Storm. The right side of the draw, so to speak.

Eels could be without both their wingers. Panthers without Kikau.

Knights will be primed for an ambush. Souths are distracted. I'm not confident.

Winner gets a free run to the prelim

Knights fans must be pumped
Entire weekend has gone chalk so far, has it ever happened that all the higher seeds win in week 1?

Since the reintroduction of this system, only 2012 which didn't have a lower seed win until 2 beat 1 in the GF.

Both 2013 and 2018 were close where, ironically, the Sunday elimination final was the only game the lower seed won.

Interesting
Sounds like good omens for a hearty Sunday arvo lol@souffs

This sums up how pumped I am...

Hopefully this will be a cracking game today. Souths should get the chocolates.

Deep down I'd love to see a Knights victory. Maybe Pearcey can play his first good game of football this year.

 

[Rhyno]

You’d rather lose today instead of copping a humiliating 50pt hiding to the Eels next week

 

[Apey]

Unless Pearce died during the week and we've rebooted him into a decent 2020 player I expect we'll win the field position battle and not be able to do anything with it.

I remember getting my hopes up that Pearce would come good one day.

Loading up on the Knights after the Bunniesman tick of approval

So Mann shifts to 9 to give Randall a spell, does Hoy come on at 6? Or does He come on at 1 and Ponga moves to six.

Maybe a genius move, maybe Maryesque.

When we beat the Sharks, Randall was pivotal in getting our forwards rolling up the field. His defence around the ruck is rock solid so I’m now a hell of a lot more confident going into this game now.

Never mind the other positional changes, what we need is Randall starting. Game on.
