Knights to rest a few players and still win 13+

 

[footy75]

Roosters by 20

Panthers

That wooden spoon is half way up your team's arse.

Roosters by 12 SBW's.

 

[mozza91]

Can someone at the ground do a play by play on here? The first 60 minutes will be devoted to watching SBW sit on the bench so I’d like to know what is happening on the field.

 

[Valheru]

The media will mercifully not give a shit about SBW this week, it was a one time ratings ploy (no idea if it worked or not).

Anyways, Newcastle in some bother if Ponga doesn't play.

 

[Apey]

Good idea to rest Ponga, we're not going to win this game. Even if we did I don't think it'd change us finishing 6th based on the most likely results.

I expect this game to go the same way as some of our previous games... can match it in the forwards but will barely be able to break the Roosters defence and will eventually just be ground out of the game. Roosters 24 - 8.

sonny billz , the chosen one, goat , cant wait

According to this article it did - https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...n/news-story/1be6e792f2b5a4a08208a97c82cf3a40

For Fox it was their third highest rated game this season.

I’ll try but I’ll probably be just staring at Sonny the whole time.

I’ll try but I’ll probably be just staring at Sonny the whole time.

He is beautiful but he’s not a piece of meat. Eyes on the prize thanks.

Teams will be competing for The Shaun Kenny Dowall Cup

That is pure art there

 

[mozza91]

Just resting our best player and best forward here against these minnows.

 

[shear_joy9]

Knights going for the turtling strategy. Let's see how it works out

 

[jargan83]

Ponga being rested is great

The Ponga wankfest vs the SBW wankfest would likely cause a black hole that would consume the earth.

 

[BradParkerTheGoat]

noooooo ponga rested??!! weve been absolutely ROBBED of an EPIC matt nable "Ponga vs Tedesco" promo!! Oh well i'm sure they have enough material from last weekends game to create another masterful SBW wankfest promo...
I'm a psychic, and i can tell you all Sonnys stats for this week. More output from him, with him to play 2 mins longer... he will have 12 runs for 14 meters gained, with 3 missed tackles (one from a failed shoulder charge attempt) and 2 errors... believe the hype punks!
