[Warrimoo3]

AOB v Hasler . Coggr v Kelly , One for the ages.

 

[Valheru]

Should be an entertaining affair.

Knights with a scoreline of something like 34-28

 

[Vic Mackey]

I have the Knights falling into the 8 after the Dragons lost yesterday. They should do this pretty well, Newcastle by 14.

 

[JamesRustle]

Titans. Coz I can't trust Dragons to beat the spooners and I can't afford any of Knights, Broncos or Dolphins to win 2 games. cmon Fifita you giant pussy, time to fire up!

 

[Someone2]

Titans by 12

 

[Grapple]

Knights by 10+ because it's my last leg of my multi.


Which will probably mean Titans win by 22.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Hopefully Knights lose, they don't deserve to be in the mix for the 8.

 

[This Year?]

That Magnusson ad is one of the cheesiest and cringiest things I have ever seen.

 

[Wb1234]

This knights jersey is rancid

crowd looks amazing

 

[Bazal]

Lol the Titans have turned up high

 

[JamesRustle]

Knights need to win well to start making up F/A on Phins. Hope they go chasing and get gaped.

Fifita already shirking the hard yards in the first set.

 

[Bazal]

I wonder if the Knights are getting in on that sweet "totally legal" CFMEU money as compensation for running this horrendous f**ken jersey every f**ken year

 

[Wb1234]

Unlucky

that ponga bust up the middle was good

 

[Bazal]

Somehow Blocker saying Brad Best is infinitely worse than his actual cringe name

 

[This Year?]

Needed more from Best there. He passed too early

 

[Wb1234]

How good was that

and no forward passes

 

[JamesRustle]

Perky move

 

[Bazal]

Gutho got burned like that a few weeks ago by a fast lad and LU shit itself with laughter

Fullbacks as a last line of defence is such an "I've never played footy" thing. Slick f**ken move.

 

[Grapple]

Too easy there. Newcastle going to sleep after the restart.
