[Valheru]

I don't think we have a reliable form guide for either team so no clue who will win this one.

 

[mozza91]

Never confident playing at the Gold Coast as we tend to play like shit up there. Missing a few key forwards too. Would be a big effort to get the win.

 

[Fangs]

Newy haven't won 3 games to start the season since 2015 (They won their first 4). I think that gets broken on Saturday. They get this one and go into a bye cruisey stuff.

Newcastle easily.

 

[Grapple]

Titans will have been chewed out by Des this wek but they seem to be a bit of a work in progress, though there was the belmore factor.
Newcastle seem pretty well settled in comparison. Ponga's lighting it up. Knights by 16

 

[Haffa]

I've never seen us win on the Gold Coast. That record continues on Saturday night. Titans by 20

 

[Saxon]

Knights have won, but against poor opposition and not impressively.
Tits at home.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Two very different styles of teams here, titans will want it to become touch footy, knights up for an arm wrestle. Think it becomes the former.

Tits by 8

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Probably 54-54 draw.

 

[Woody90]

I initially tipped Knights but now looks like our 2 starting props and 2 starting back rowers are all out so I’ll change my prediction to Titans.
