[_Johnsy]

This hardly seems fair that Brisbane have to travel.

 

[footy75]

Knights.

 

[Silent Knight]

F***ed if I know. Depends on what Knights team turns up mentally. Hope we can get Derpius one last time though.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Us by 40

 

[Valheru]

Got a feeling broncos will will win this.

 

[Haffa]

Best to bag a few more. Us by 18

 

[The_Frog]

Broncos very stiff last game courtesy of Klein. Knights better be careful.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Gerard Sutton.. Great.

You are drunk

This young Broncos pack doesn’t do well against packs with a genuine alpha.

And Darius doesn’t do well against centres that are quick off the mark.

But Mitchell Pearce is a hard man to rely upon, especially against Queenslanders. I didn’t catch Newcastle’s game last week. How was their form in the loss?

And Darius doesn’t do well against centres/QUOTE]

Fixed

 

[SBD82]

Darius doesn’t do well

@Rhino_NQ

Fixed for accuracy.

Darius is back in form. Knights by 12.

 

[GongPanther]

Broncos to get this with Tevita Pangai Junior NOT getting 10 in the bin and getting on report.

Future immortal Ponga to have his usual outstanding match, but it won't be enough to save the Knights.

Broncos by 8.

Us winning or Pangai not doing something dumb...

Not sure what is the least likely? Lets call it a nil all draw

 

[The unknown]

Think Brisbane will upset here but with no confidence. Surely due

 

[perverse]

If the Knights start well this week I don't think Brisbane get a look-in. I don't think they have the mental tenacity to stick it with us and will give up early. I'm well aware of the irony of this statement given how mentally weak the Knights have been in recent years gone by.

However, if we start like we did against the Storm it'll be game on.

This week is another good test of how far the Knights have actually come as an outfit. Knights of old could easily turn last weeks loss into a month or 2 of mediocre performances. Everything I've seen this year to now suggests to me that we have turned a corner on that attitude and put it behind us... but I've been burned too many times before.

 

[Nerd]

I'd say Knights with us putting up a show for the first half then turning into the bumbling Broncos for the second half.
