Martin Kennedy is a goose. He almost cost them the game against Manly. There is a reason he's being shipped off.

Martin Kennedy should possibly keep his mouth shut now.

Got to love the nicknames of some of the blokes involved in the ASADA/ElephantJuice in Sport thing - "The Weapon" (Trent Robinson's brother, and Danny Weedler's favourite, "The Gazelle".
what did he say?

Nothing too bad Tom. He's just commenting on the Roosters drug saga and informing people of the natural HGH levels in Polynesian players (that he seems to know about) when contacted by the media when he should be concentrating on his team's prelim final this weekend.

The article in the SMH goes onto link he and Sandor as very good mates (which Kennedy admits they are) and then link Sandor to the Nubodi owner. Nubodi is the company that apparently found many of the Roosters players had abnormally high HGH levels earlier in the year and were sacked by the Roosters as they didn't sanction the said tests. I'm sure Kennedy and the Roosters players will be told to keep their mouths shut today.

Well we now have Peter Fitzsimons on our bandwagon for the top prize. I know he's a yawnionite, but as far as australian sporting personalities in the media he's pretty high up there.

I think Marty just sent alarm bells ringing at ASADA headquarters, way to make yourself public enemy number 1.

Well with all this Roosters stuff in the papers, yesterday's Bennett stuff doesn't seem like as much of a Sydney ploy to help the Roosters now. Been listening to too much of Thurston perhaps :lol:.

Ok guys, I've just played this Saturdays game on RLL2 (hardest difficulty, 20 minute halves), and here's how it went.

First half:
Roosters scored first though Guerra, who busted a f**kload of tackles on his way to the line. Roberts had an ideal opportunity to score soon after but for some reason decided to boot the ball dead instead. With the roosters heavy on attack on our line with thirty seconds to go in the half, aku took a gamble and went for the intercept, snatching the ball and racing 90 metres to level things up at half time.

2nd half:
Five minutes into the second half and aku had his second. We were dominating for an age, before a Matt Hilder f**kup gifted them possession near our line and they crossed through JWH. The roosters were on a roll and wasn't long before SBW crossed to give them the lead 18-12. As the minutes ticked away, we threw everything at them but just couldn't crack their line until, with three minutes to go and camped on their ten, Buderus spun it wide to jeremy smith who was running back into the ruck, drawing defenders before flicking it out to Roberts who crossed and converted to tie the game up and send us into extra time!

Golden point:
Roosters kicked off, and on the ensuing set Mullen kicked his second 40/20 of the game to give us a full set 15 out from their line. Roberts fed the scrum, then spun it out to mullo who took it to the ten. Instead of passing it back to Roberts for the field goal (because he forgot what button it is), Buderus have it short to mason who took it to within one of the line. Buderus then went for it from dummy half, and was taken immediately by minichiello but ended up in the in-goal. Ref sends it upstairs, and replays show bedsy got the ball down before being spun onto his back. Game over. We win 22-18

WE f**kING GOT DIS!!!!!

Just played against manly (I'm assuming they beat souffs), and we beat them 12-6, with a scoreless second half. IMO we were comfortably the better team, although justin horo got MoM wtf?

I just did the same thing. Hardest difficulty, 20 min halves.

Roosters were up 36-0 at half-time.

Knights decided they didn't want to play the 2nd half and quit.

Hopefully Fred's is a bit closer to how the game actually goes.

No but perhaps someone who bought a ticket in the last 24 hours could disclose a pax#?

I'd imagine it must be close to 30-35k sold thus far so 15k Knights fans is a good estimate.

I fought a 13-12 golden point victory over the Roosters too Freddy.

Lol @ the Sea Eagles and their 24%. 15K coming down from Newcastle but the northern beaches just can't be bothered.

I'm heading to Sydney tomorrow, going to try my best to get to the game and drag some people along with me. Should be an epic atmosphere!

I had a look again at Ticketek.

Cat 1 is now moved further into bay 11 of the general Cat 1.

Cat 2 is now moved into bay 10 which is actually a Roosters Cat 2 area, so it's now chewed up all the extra corporates in bays 52/53.

Cat 3 is now in bay 4 so the GA's are filling up.

An absolutely epic performance by the Knights fans, only a 6% difference between Knights and Roosters is amazing. They have to travel 5kms and we have to travel a hundred.

We will bring the house down.

Watching the footy show and they are discussing the Sandor Earl interview.

Interestingly Josh Massoud has said the Roosters story is developing, seems they might be on the disco biscuits and marching powder.

Nice, keep it up Tele!

Nice to see Fatty once again noticing we only won because 'Melbourne were off'...
