These stats sound greaf for us but knowing a stat like this makes me nervous because we always seem to lose games when when the historical stats are in our favour.

Game day, how are we all feeling?

I definitely feel like we can win this game. But the Dogs have proven they’re a pretty serious side and won’t give us anything for free so if we do win we’ll definitely have to play somewhere close to our best for 80 mins.

That being said, given how good their defence is there’s a good chance that we get frustrated by not being able to crack their line in the first 20-30 mins and then get 3-4 tries put on us in return. I feel like this is the most likely way that this game plays out but I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Very confident actually. I reckon KP, Sharpe and Best will run riot today

Reckon we'll be sitting here at the end of the game saying we could have won if only we nailed our chances / didn't make so many errors

Thanks for the input bro.

When was the last time we beat a team that was top of the ladder? Would have been a long while ago I reckon.

I actually just saw a post on Facebook about this earlier.
Apparently it was 2012... Against the Dogs.

This is gospel.

Knights have equal ability, but Canterbury are pure professionalism.

Need to match it.

I'm feeling really optimistic about our chances. We're fresh off the BYE after a disappointing loss and the Dogs are there for the taking.

I'm sure with all our prep time, AOB has em ready to go and we'll look silky as.

Dogs 32-22.

Anyone got stats about how we go after a bye?

from memory, I seem to think we always struggle

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Of course Kiraz is back for this game…

I think it's pretty even over the past couple of years

Ennis sucking off the Dogs already

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

LET'S GO KNIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[K-Man]

I'd feel a lot more confident if we had our starting edge backrowers, or even just Lucas. I think that's a big part of where we are strong, it doesn't feel the same with Cant and Friz.
