After the Weekend Will it Be Top 4 For Knights?

[cram]

Well with less then five minutes to go in the Parra V Dragons game the top 4 is now a real possibility after the completion of this round.

In saying that however, we could end up lower on the table then we are now with a loss.

The size of Parra's win is very handy for their for and against %.

If we lose on the weekend by a large margin and other results don't go our way we could be out of the 8.

On the other hand a good win could result in us leap frogging Manly into 4th spot.

It will be an intersting weekend of results coming up.

Well its now full time and the final score 28-6 gives Parra a +26 point differential.

Beat the Roosters by 12 and we'll be 4th at the end of round 22...

I think 12 points will be a real possibility. Judging from the Sharks game, Johns kicking was sensational and if it is raining, it will be very crucial for Johns to find the ground with all of his kicks. Is a bit of a downer that Mullen won't be able to play because he would have been perfect in rainy conditions. Has a really big boot and seems to have a natural ability to find open space even with pressure in his face.

and if the broncos go down by more than 20, which is a possibility, we'll be even as high as third...

It's all about For and Against at the business end of the year. Here are current Stats:

1. Melbourne + 143
2. Bulldogs + 107
3. Brisbane + 46
4. Manly + 26
5. St. George -10
6. Parramatta + 26
7. Newcastle + 15
8. Nth Qld +24

We will have to win by 12+ to get above Manly's F & A. Personally I think that both spots 3 and 4 will become available with Brisbane's "Slump".

Remember that Manly have to play both Bulldogs and Melbourne in rounds 25/26 respectively. They might not be our biggest threat.

Though they are playing the Raiders.

Cheers for the info. It shows just how important some of our big wins were at the start of the season.

Geez didnt realise Parra was ahead of us now...

 

[Bicey_18]

They wont be ahead of us for long ;-)

 

[Medievalknight]

The Knights destiny is in there own hands now

 

[Bicey_18]

May very well decide a top 4 spot next Friday night.....

Knights v Eagles

Huge game ... will need to be at our best

 

[Bring it home Knights]

we need everyone to be at the game on friday and to cheer and cheer hard.

Parra i don't believe played that well on friday and could still miss the 8. The dragons were terrible. They would have been beaten by souths if souths were on there game. Parra hardly had to defend in the 2nd half as the dragons couldn't hold the ball. Parra also had poor go forward unless hindmarsh and one or 2 others had the ball. They lack props and that is a big issue for them.

 

[Master Vippo]

With that Dragons loss, there is a helluva lot of incentive for us to play well now! Bring it home boys!

Cheers for the info. It shows just how important some of our big wins were at the start of the season.

And also points out how costly some of our big losses have been and how costly the win over Souths was in terms of that we did not go on with the job and score more points and conceded 18.

HUGGGGGGEEEEEEE opportunity today for the fellas to finsih this weekend in THIRD[B} spot on the ladder.
.
With the DRAGONS beginning to choke - AGAIN - the SEA EAGLES having the Bye - All we need to do is WIN FIRSTLY (by a good margin - atleast by 12 please boys) and the BRONCOS to cop a bit of a flogging from the RAIDERS and 'Bob's your uncle). With the RAIDERS also having results go there way, with the SHARKS & COWBOYS getting beat, a WIN for them would put them in the TOP EIGHT. So they have HUGE incentive to turn up today as well.
.
So TWO things to cheer hard for today - Firstly a KNIGHTS WIN and also a RAIDERS WIN.

 

[chinorocks]

All I care about is us winning today. Got a bad feeling about this game. If we keep winning the top 4 will take care of itself.
