Ugh.

Sharks 13+

 

[Knight Vision]

There was nothing yesterday to suggest we wont get flogged in this.

Huge turn around in attitude required and I dont see it happening.

 

[Matt23]

Sharks easily...

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

There's nothing to suggest we won't be annihilated vs Cronulla just like old times.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Same team except Saulo and Randall out, Crossland and Jones in

[Old dog]

No Dan?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

No Dan?

Being rested for 1 more week. Should be back for the Roosters game

 

[Miller was a legend]

You’re in trouble now, Townsend is back


FMD

Don’t worry we’ll make Chad look like the second coming of Andrew Johns. If there’s one thing my team is consistent at, it’s making plodders look like league legends.

 

[Jono078]

Can't wait to see him run straight at SBW!

I don't even want to predict the outcome here. I just hope we have a real smart crack.

 

[Yosh]

Can't see where our points come from... Lose by 20 plus.

I'll raise you a million dollar half that is just about to wake from a long slumber and run into a rich vien of form as the smell of semi final footy fills his nostrils and feeds his desire to raise the Premiership trophy once more!

As my good mate Mozza would say...Pearce FTS and MOTM. Get on!!!

You don’t have any mates. Narcissists are incapable of developing any meaningful relationship.

 

[Spot On]

Damn... that's some top class verbal big boy.

Geez I wish Pearcey could muster an ounce of your anger and find form this week.

How much did ya drop on your bets last week MATE? You were super confident of a big Knights victory.

Lost 10 whole dollars. How can a Knights fan get so much joy out of one their players underperforming and the team losing?

It is a defence mechanism. If we don’t laugh, we cry.

Geezuz, loosen up mate.

High expectations are great, but be realistic. Your team is paying a million for a bloke who hasn't fired a shot and has a long history of failing to deliver the skill set of a player in his position.

Joy over losing... no... but my expectations were extremely low when we signed Pearce. He exceeded them for a short while but alas it has turned to shit.

I do hold some hope he can hit some sort of form soon. Law of averages says he is long overdue. He has to fire a shot soon

Fingers crossed he can lead us to a much needed win this w/e.

Double up Mozza mate. Have a decent crack this w/e.
