Interesting game. Will test how much we've improved since round 1.

Both teams have been in the same boat really. 1 week the Dragons are up the next they're flat.

I definitely expect another close game though, I think the Dragons will be too good again.

 

[Zoidberg]

I kinda think the boys were thinking ahead to this game when playing Parra yesterday.

I think they will come out and have a great performance.

Newcastle have a great record when traveling to either Kogarah or Wollongong, having not lost to the Dragons away from home since 2005.

I think this will be Boyd's biggest game this year, he'll really relish this game, imo. If he stands up we will win, but only just.

MG made a good point on NRL on FOX I thought about how the Dragons will be up for this one following Dean Young's announcement.

And also the stuff surrounding Tinkler may have an impact on us.

Hard to go against the Dragons here.

 

[God-King Dean]

Fairly important game for both clubs.

It won't be a good look for either team being 3-4.

 

[Haffa]

Good record down there. I think we are a good chance as long as we hold onto the ball and defend like we have all year.

 

[Peppers]

Thought I heard that the away team has won a Knights/Dragons fixture the last eleven times.

 

[Rod]

I'm stunned at the amount of love the Dragons are getting for this game TBH. Both teams were pretty terrible last week but at least we scored some points! I don't know maybe it's just me but I couldn't believe it when I saw we were $2.50 outsiders.

I have massive doubts that Tinkler pulling out of the jets would have an impact on any of the knights players.

Good chance of a win if we play like we did last week for the first 20 mins for the full game.
The short turnaround might kick us a bit. Knights by 12.

@NRLKnights: Knights make one change - Tuimavave in for Fa'aoso #NRLstinew #goKnights

 

[Jono078]

Tuimavave is playing..

IN for Fa'aoso!!! :O

 

[perverse]

Geez, that's a very interesting and unexpected switch.

 

[Yosh]

Where is Faas? Injured? Rested? Dropped?

 

[Yosh]

Darius looks up for the game! Nice!

 

[Yosh]

I agree with the no try call. well done son!

 

[Yosh]

That's it... I've just came in my pants...

There it is:

Costigan straight and hard.

Bedsy some crabbing and drawing defenders

Mullen ---> Body ---> Uate

BAM!

 

[Jono078]

YAHOO!!!

That's what we've been waiting for and how good was it!!!!
