Our rabble has completely lost interest already. Cronulla by as many as they want.

A full house on Sunday and the Knights couldn't be bothered to get out of bed. Nothing to like here.
Sharks by 30.

If the Knights dish up what the did against uss the Sharks 68-0 or whatever it was during the Brown years will be in danger. I dont expect them to that bad again but doubt they improve enough to trouble Cronulla.

We definitely won’t concede 68 points…but the 0 is an absolute certainty.

Going Sharks 32-0.

A few decent ins for the Knights. I think this will be closer than most think.

A Knights victory wouldn't surprise, but I'll be backing the Sharks to win 22-16.

With last week being the Steve Rogers Memorial Trophy, are the sharks fans upset that this game isn't being named the Greg Pierce Memorial Trophy?

Again the Knights giving the opposition all the leg ups by making simple error after simple error and will be then too gassed to attack.

Nice Best. Need him to find some form.

Total trash from Kennedy. Just had to get a handful of him and cover would have got there.

Unlucky.
