About 4 hours and 18 minutes till kick-off, 5 hours 20 mins till telecast in NSW.
I've been busy for the last 24-30 hours, so I haven't had a chance to pop in here and get fired up.
Let me tell you, I'm ready and raring to go, and it isn't even me out there. Big BK is on board, Buderus seems like he'll play on one leg, and doesn't Joey Johns look a picture of health?
Parsons off the bench, Woolnough finally fit again, Kurt Gidley in his new role @ 5/8th, O'Davis at the back, Tahu's there, so too the rest of the backline. Simpson, etc - ooooh I'm ready to go.
The crux of tonight is: can the Knights produce the defence that they lacked last year? With that line-up, the Knights have every reason to consider themselves capable of winning. Whether they have pulled their fingers out in defence is another story.
In a few hours we'll find out, won't we?
