Geez I hope Crocker is fit and Clarke gets dropped. Clarke needs a bit more time in the lower grades to work on minimising his errors.

Plus I can't wait to see how Crocker fits in to the already firing forward pack.

 

[MattJ]

Can you imagine our forwards playing like they did in the dogs game with Crocker, Pettybourne and Ross added? Thats almost a scary prospect.
We really should win this game, and if we keep improving as we have with every game so far this season, we should do it comfortably.

Nothing is a given however, the Knights should not be underestimated and a very strong performanc we will be needed.

If the rumours are true and Maddog is out, that would be a big bonus as the bastard always seems to fire up and have a blinder against us.

I'd really like to see Sutton take it up another level as well, last game was a good improvement, but he's still not performing at a level he was consistantly at last season.

 

[Ike E Bear]

Hopefully Fetuli marks up well. If Uate gets around him a couple of times he'll be goneski.

Knights are a team that can spring an upset. Can produce a good kickign game too.

I reckon Luke will expose their defence around the ruck, though.

 

[Bumble]

The word was that Gidley might be back..if he was it might have been a bit more difficult for us.

Stay focused and this should be an easy win.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Gidley wont be back.

Like with us last week this is a game that you should win and should win comfortably.

However my mob always seems to belt the strong teams and falter against the weaklings so should be an extremely interesting match.

Souths +4.5 points on footy tab, work that one out!

Unfortunately for Newcastle, I think your on the money here.

We should be able to win if we play half as well as last week.

 

[Appin Rabbit]

If we play like we played against the Bulldogs it's Souths by 40

 

[High Octane Bunny]

We should be able to win if we play half as well as last week.

I don't expect them to play with the same venom.....drive yes, but a little more clever. Use Merritt's wing please, the guy is gagging for some quality ball. Souths by 13+

 

[Raiders336]

Bugger it, i am going to put the following footytab options for Souths to win (hopefully there are not to tired from Monday).

Souths to score 40 / Nights 10,12,14,16,18,20,22
