Knights Vs Roosters - Prelim Final '13

[Knight Vision]

My fear.....my biggest fear, is our ability to score points against them. Manly, one of the best attacking units in the comp couldn't get across their line last week. I've said all season that our attack lacks spark and imagination. I have no issues with our defence, that has been proven two weeks in a row. We need something special and some real input from Bennett to make this happen.

Bennett will have a plan to suit just the occasion , no doubt.

Hagan and Johns say our run is set to continue....

We'll be getting a lot of media attention this week, probably more than we've ever had since Joey retired. Luckily we have the perfect man for keeping the players heads in the right area.

Roberts should be right to play.

Been pretty much thinking of the game non stop.

3 key players we need to stop and the rest of the roosters will fold.

A) Maloney, BJ on him and just give him a free reign to terrorise him all match and leaving all the play making up to Pearce will show that hack up for the pretender that he is.

B) JWH, guy is a meater eating machine, put the fear of god into him by having Beau and Smith marking up on him non stop and bashing him with every hit up. Stop him dead in his tracks there's their go forward gone.

C) SBW, Mason and Rochow need to just be in his face the entire match if he even looks likes getting the ball just be right up there.

We stop these 3 and I really see us having smooth sailing against the Roosters.

Easier said then done of course. But hopefully Benny has marked these guys as the key players.

Hi lads,

Don't know much about the SFS. Will there be designated Knights bays like there was for the Doggies final at ANZ?

 

[woodyk2]

I really can't see any reason why the Knights cannot win this. Manly Knights GF ,how sweet would that be?

Yep Noname. Jump on the NRL site, click on buy tickets for this game, you'll go through to the ticketek page, scroll down to this game, click buy now and then click on view venue map. Check that out.

Manly vs Knights. We are both battle hardened. No semi has been soft. That is why having a rest will work against Souths and Roosters. I feel we can really put the pressure on them. Watch for Beau to be very very aggressive towards JWH. Loves to bait him.

 

[The Showstopper]

Heard today game is a sell out? Any truth to that?

 

[Zoidberg]

I can see SBW targeting Tyrone all night. I'm confident Ty can tackle him but we need to watch his offloads.

 

[undertaker]

I just bought my ticket to Sat night's game a few mins ago. Will be sitting in Bay 37 (amongst the other Novacastrian fateful). My first Knights finals match I've been to since that ill-fated night in 2002 where Andrew Johns went down in agony right infront of my parents and I.

Hope we can exorcise the demons from 2000, which undoubtedly is the most painful lost I've ever experienced since following this great club back in the mid-90s.

 

[Sacrolishes]

Ah Joey Johns, Sometimes I wish he wouldnt praise us, Calling Tyronne a 10 Yr Half for us, last time he did that was "michael Hagan is a 10 year coach for us" See how that happened.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

2000 PF was the most heartbreaking game in knights history no doubt

 

[Haffa]

Ugh, I was lying in a hospital bed in Adelaide listening to it over the phone because they didn't have the game on live. Worst feeling ever.

 

[hugzy]

2000 PF was the most heartbreaking game in knights history no doubt

remember it like it was yesterday... rudder falls 1m short, fitzgibbon scores the next play... (oh wait that was 2002 LOL)

2000 the play that stuck was joey chip and chase, regathers... rauhihi in support then BOOM... luke phillips wins the game for roosters

anyway got tickets *rolls around shivering in excitment

 

[EdLondon]

[Joker's Wild]

f**k me why would you post that shit

 

[Jono078]

I've never seen that 2000 game, but that was disgusting! Didn't even look like a team showing the qualities we are right now.

We got a premiership out of the deal....
