Maybe like a dog that has been kicked up the arse one too many times, my tail is firmly between my legs fully expecting the usual reality check come saturday night.
I think we'll be competitive, i know we can beat them, but i just know deep down that melbourne at anything above 80% are too good for any effort we can muster.
Either melbourne play poorly or we make them play poorly.
Yeah I get all that, but magic happens and streaks come to an end.
The difference for me was last week, we were a different team to the one that was so inconsistent during the year.
I've drunk the Kool aid, I admit it, but I expect us to win on Sat night because we are playing like a team that wants and expects to win.
Melbourne are a great team with 3 star players but they are going the way of all great teams, they are getting older and the roster is getting thinner every year.
They arent the Melbourne of old, they look tired and are making mistakes which is un Melbourne like. They may lift for this game and beat us but they arent the jugganaut they once were.
There is something special about our team and whether it eventuates this year, they will do us proud.
Plus if there is a single player in the NRL that deserves a fairytale finish to his career, its Danny Buderus.
Knights to win on Sat night and set up a showdown next Sat against the Roosters.
