Both sides will be desperate for a win to stay in touch with the 8. I can see the refs really fingering us and us responding with one of our great bed shats.

 

[Valheru]

Finals eliminator

Surely Walters doesn't repeat his mistake from 3 weeks ago and rest his origin players?

 

[Fangs]

Should be plenty of desperation from both sides in this one.

They are just making up the numbers in 2024 but the coaches are a chance for the sack. These teams need to show up.

 

[Saxon]

One decent half of football played between the two teams last weekend.
On that basis I'm tipping broncos if only because they showed they had a pulse; weak as it may have been.

I’m no fan of AOB, and usually the first to bump the “Sack AOB” thread in the Knights forum, but he’s absolutely no chance of getting the sack this year. With the squad the Knights have had for the majority of the year they’ve probably performed on par, or slightly above where they should in most games this year other than 2 or 3 horrible games. I’m actually surprised we’re still in any type of touch with the top 8 tbh.

Walter’s won’t go anywhere this year either. He would have built up enough good faith after their GF appearance last year. If they start next season poorly though I could see him getting sacked then.
