Franze isnt 'spose' to be good, although he's been in good form this year.

Looks like he is returning from injury.

Bugger, although its good for Larry looks like he wont be lining up for Central Charlestown this weekend, damn he makes a big difference in the side. I am suprised Whitey is still in Prem League, hasn't been named back since being dropped, anyone know why he was dropped in the first place. I dont pay attention very well obviously.

full time kights 41 raiders 24..great win..Dureau back to his best..YEW
According to todays paper Carney played for the Raiders so a big game from Dureau will add a few dollars to the contract we should have signed with him last week.

Apparently an investigation has been launched into the Knights having 14 players on the field. An additional investigation will work out why the additional player wasn't wearing Knights blue, but instead a bright orange jersey. Well no, but it bloody should be.

The Knights at one stage got 12 penalties in a row, all in the first 20 mins of the second half. The referee also let the most blatant knock on in the history of rugby league go, from which the Knights scored a crucial try.

You may have won, but you didn't deserve to. Todd Carney far and away best on field until he was illegally taken out by a dirty, late, deliberate elbow to the jaw by that great brute Willie Poleo. Should be a minimum 6 week suspension by my reckoning for that thug.

Raiders were the better team on the night, the Knights only won because of the gimp with the whistle, who obviously came into the match with an agenda to referee only one side. Dureau was average, your so-called star in the making Uate looked like a park football player at best, and you cheating pathetic thugs took out our best player.

Skeepe doesn't congratulate other teams on winning performances. It's all because of the referee.

Were any of you at the match? I know there were a couple of Knights fans in attendance... in any case, anybody who saw that match would know how terrible the referee was. FFS the penalty count ended up being about 26-2!

let me get this straight - the penalty count was 26-2 in our favour and WE were playing dirty - riiiiggghhtt.

Sounds like Poleo made an immediate impact in his first game in Knights colours.

Skeepe, do you always have a whinge whenever you lose? It's never because the Raiders weren't good enough is it?

Just watched the game.

Raiders were poor, the ref was poor.

During that period early in the second, Raiders deserved most of those penalties. Dreadful discipline.

Get off your high horse about Willy though....

With the benifit of replay (over and over), it was not that bad.
