Bring it on

 

[Munky]

Is this an actual grudge match for general fans or an LU member thing?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Forum match of the season!

 

[Bazal]

Corey Horsburgh needs to be given a one match pass to play this game, and the Knights should be directed to pick Simplest Jack.

 

[mozza91]

Is this an actual grudge match for general fans or an LU member thing?

Solely LU. I’ve never heard of any animosity between the fans of the 2 clubs outside of this place.

 

[dogslife]

This is almost my favourite game on the rugbah loig calendar. The game itself if a side piece to this thread though

 

[Apey]

Is this an actual grudge match for general fans or an LU member thing?

Pretty much all the Knights fans involved in the beginning don't post on LU any more unfortunately.

This could be a real dire game. Prior to Saturday we'd scored the least points in the comp and Canberra Crash Plays aren't exactly enterprising. Wackiness to save the day hopefully.

No idea who wins either. Raiders are probably due but we've been going okay since the catastrophe that was the Dogs game. I rarely tip my team because I don't trust them whatsoever so I'm going to go Raiders.

 

[Chins get the wins]

The Apey v Skeepe cup. What a humdinger
