[Dragon Slayer]

This is my banker bet of the weekend.

Dogs got a few out due to Origin.

Knights in really good form.

Knights by a couple of tries in the end.

 

[Saxon]

Knights at home and the Dogs with some out for Origin.
I'm tipping Knights but it will be close. JAC to be cranky on missing Origin to score a double.

 

[JamesRustle]

Who cares about the game... I just want Hetherington to follow through and smash Mahoney into next week... or effect a nasty hip drop on him.

[Someone2]

5 in a row for the Knights

they should be trying to ship ponga off to union they are a better team without him

 

[perverse]

Said everyone last year before he came back and stormed us into the finals and the Dally M award.

People have incredibly short memories. Him getting injured this year just woke the rest of them up.

Is this the big financial news we've been waiting for all these years?

 

[Bazal]

I'll be tuning into this game hoping for absolute chaos. Just the worst that rugba leeg has to offer.

Oh I'm not specifically insulting either side. Definitely not comparing them to my mugs, whose dumb f**kery I can't even enjoy because I loathe myself for supporting them

You can't deny though, this game has a high potential for chaos .

Bulldog are bad
Eel are bad
Knight are bad
Sea Eagle are very bad

Don’t take everything so personally blud

 

[Apey]

Knights and Dogs have top 5 defence so far. Our attack is the 2nd worst in the league though. It's also going to be raining.

All NRL are bad.

I like yo see the worst in everyone. It makes me feel better about myself

 

[This Year?]

Gotta feel for the Knights having their catchment raided by the Roosters. If Armstrong gets white added to his jersey, cross him off to become the latest crash test dummy in uncle Nick's caryard.

PS. Can we have him instead?

Oh it's going to be dour as f**k, just bants mate. Too old for beef.

Toby Sexton looks like an angler fish.
