[Valheru]

If there is such thing as a round 9 eliminator this is it, both teams struggling to back up a finals appearance form last year.

I'm going Knights as things don't quite seem right at the warriors

 

[Saxon]

Both sides are up and down like a hooker's knickers, but I think Knights at home by 2.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Warriors to have too much class.

Warriors by a few tries.

 

[Leber]

We aren't gunna win too many more games with all our forwards out injured.

 

[Woody90]

We aren't gunna win too many more games with all our forwards out injured.

Mate you don’t need to make excuses, your side is far superior to the Knights.

 

[Leber]

Mate you don’t need to make excuses, your side is far superior to the Knights.

We are far superior to the Titans aswell and we all saw how that went.

 

[mozza91]

Warriors deserve to be favourites. Give us a chance at home though if we can bring the effort we did yesterday.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Geez, on current form this game is shaping up to be a Salvador Dali painting. Ugly.

Going Newy by 4 just because they're at home, but this is as close to a coin toss as it gets.

 

[JamesRustle]

Wahs to get their shit together just enough to withstand a 2nd half fade out and hold on for a close win.

 

[GongPanther]

Warriors 28-16.

 

[Someone2]

Warriors by 10

 

[Grapple]

As long as Warriors have figured out and restructured their attack I think they'll win. You can't bomb away to Tuala every set and expect a different result - like last time.

Warriors will do well if they mix it up a bit more. More grubbers, more offloads. More running from Egan at dummy half. They have the talent. A little less boring kicks to the wing, keep it a little unpredictable.

I think Warriors will be up for it. I haven't watched a Knights game in a while, but do remember how last year they turned the corner and had a strong defensive unit.

NZ by 10

 

[Nealo 12]

Mitchell Pearce in the Fox commentary studio talking about Hastings …”If he brings a solid game he’ll be solid “. WTF !

 

[Grapple]

Hastings has been solid for Newcastle. Takes the game on. Can't target one guy.

 

[Nealo 12]

Jesus now he just said someone has to play like Justin Hodges !

 

[Nealo 12]

Looks like Newcastle home playing Newcastle away

 

[This Year?]

I'd rather a wet Darcie than Eloise.

 

[Munky]

Did the groundsman forget to attach the clippings catcher to the mower?

 

[Munky]

Egan went for the head butt

Precedent says ten in the bin.
