[Apey]

For Knights fans this would have been more entertaining if the Raiders were still shit. Raiders 30+ based on current form.

 

[nick87]

An very easily stopped force now mets the easily moved object.
This will be a shit show of sizable proportions.

May the least shit team limp their way to an unimpressive and ultimately meaninless win.

 

[This Year?]

Skeepe is going to absolutely shine in this thread. One of my favourite LU gameday threads

I always feel a bit off about Raiders-Knights game day threads... they're alright, but brother... Raiders-Tigers game day threads back in the day... that was good postin'

 

[gerg]

Teams will be competing for the overrated plodder cup. Adam Elliott to present it to himself at half time.

 

[mozza91]

We’re away from home so they might actually have a go.
Canberra have been good for the last 6 weeks so they should win pretty comfortably.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Raiders are showing slow improvement, while Newcastle only seem to be getting worse as the year drags on. Playing down there, Canberra could put a big score on.

hope our team brain has recovered from last week's malfunction

 

[Apey]

I mean, yeah Broncos lost some key players, but as much as we all hate to admit it they are a top 4 team this year. They're a good, resilient team.

This week you're up against a side that is a genuine spoon contender. Our only hope is dragging you down to our level. Even then we have very little strike in the team to actually do any damage.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

The match thread we’ve all been waiting for.

 

[yobbo84]

Has AOB realised Dane Gagai is 5x the player at left centre than he is at right centre yet?

He was decidedly average for us on the right (thus the 'Origin Gagai' barbs) and as soon as he went to the left he brought his A-game consistently for his last 2 seasons with Souths.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Surely Ponga won't play? That was a serious concussion. Hope O'Brien isn't pushing him out there because of the pressure.

Based on form we should win comfortably either way. So I'm expecting golden point.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Make it stop.

 

[Someone2]

Raiders by 16

 

[bileduct]

Newcastle by 7 dropped balls and 13 wayward passes from Savage.

 

[GongPanther]

Can too good by 36-12.

You're a top fan biley

 

[bileduct]

You're a top fan biley

f**k yeah!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Huge blow for Canberra and NSW as the brains trust of both teams is ruled out.

Blues star Jack Wighton tests positive to COVID-19, ruled out of State of Origin II

Injury, COVID wreak havoc for Origin II with one star out and another in doubt

New South Wales have copped a serious blow for Origin II with Jack Wighton set to miss the match in Perth while one of Queensland's new stars is also in doubt.
