Knights vs Raiders @ EAS Game Thread

[IanG]

Getting in early for our next game. Back at home against the Canberra Raiders
It's the only Saturday game on next weekend. Not sure if Mad Dog and Simmo will be back for it. Kurt Gidley will probably be out on Origin duty.

Are the Raiders, my pet hate team after Penrith.
You just don't know whether they will turn up to play or not and all in all a crap team.
I would not be surprised if the result of this game is either 50 - 4 our way or there way.

Go the Knights !

 

[Hanscholo]

Canberra usually come into for around this time, results have shown that to be happening. We wont want to take this game easily....see parra. They will be right up for this.

Interesting that Brian Smith has announced a 19 man squad.

hmmm.. interesting one.

Can't see us winning to be honest. We have a poor record against the lesser teams this year. I can see the guys taking this game lightly and getting done.

Late Mail says Smith will drop Dureau and Paterson from the extended bench. Hope it it just Smith being Smith

Well it was heading that way against the Bunnies too. I don't think we can afford to take teams lightly.

 

[Pika]

If our pack brings the intensity they have shown in the second half against the Bunnies and the Storm we should be right.

Come on Jobdog, lets go to the game mate. We'll get their real early, I'll pay for my ticket, and we'll get you in for free.

 

[Spike]

I just hope you receive your ticket after you've paid for it

If your jokes were bread it would be covered in mould by now it's that stale. ;-)

I must apologise for picking on two lines directed to you know who in one night, as its not nice to gang up on people - but I burst out laughing when I saw that, classic.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Spike]

Hmm, to make a metaphor you can relate to, like Andy Dufresne, I'll just keep chipping away

 

[IanG]

Can we make this a sticky since it's meant to be a match discussion thread?

 

[TooheysNew]

Match threads don't get stuck any more. They stay at the top by themselves.

For those of you wondering about the weather today, all that cloud that is hanging around is going to stay there all day, but it won't produce any rain. The one good thing about the cloud hanging around is that it won't get cold so quickly tonight (though it won't be too warm to start off with!)

Also while it is going to be a pretty chilly day, the winds will be pretty calm tonight so there won't be the usual wind chill from the breeze.

So get to the game if you're not sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pika]

Strong chance of dew with the wet soil and low temp then mate?

 

[Serc]

Spot on ;-)

and another chilli night
