Cows have found some form too.

 

[Jono078]

Anyone feeling a little concerned now that there is a chance we don't win any of our next 4 games?

 

[slotmachine]

Yep.

 

[RHCP]

Cowboys played one good game after their coach got the sack and they are hardly the first side to do that.

Plus Sutton was injured early. Take the first choice 1 and 6 out of any side, even the minor premiers, and they'll be off their game.

I still think we can beat Cronulla. Reckon the short turnaround on Friday could well have been the main contributing factor to the lethargy. Snowden and McManus back this week also should help. Snowden in particular.

Still have a bad feeling we're going to be looking back at the Bronco's game and wishing we'd got another point at season's end.

For sure. It blows my mind that people are saying the one point is helpful. Our for and against is awesome and any team that ends up on the same points will drop behind us. Sterlo even said it on the footy show this morning :crazy:

 

[Joker's Wild]

1 point is certainly more helpful than none. Simple maths really

 

[Bring it home Knights]

It is only more helpful if other teams near the knights on the ladder have a draw. That way our for and against comes back into play. Otherwise simple maths or not, it helps us to the tune of SFA!

 

[Apey]

Unless other teams around us have a draw before the end of the season the draw is as good as a loss because our F/A is superior.

 

[RHCP]

Knights fans will whinge about anything.

F/A can change pretty easily. We are only 40 odd ahead of the Dogs - if we lose two game by 10 and they win two by 12, they're ahead.

The draw is better for team morale as well.

 

[Jobdog]

But they're on an even amount of points...

Whinge about anything? Or do you mean use critical thinking based on what the NRL premiership ladder states?

 

[RHCP]

But they're on an even amount of points...

Yes, which we would be on if we didn't get the draw.

 

[slotmachine]

We'll be underdogs against Sharks and Storm and probably against Broncs and Cows.

At least we get the Eels on old boys day.

 

[Rod]

The Sharks did well to get the W over in Auckland but the Warriors were nothing like the Warriors of the past 2 months, they were tripe. The Sharks will be tough but with Snowy back we can beat them.

Like the Warriors the Rabbitohs were garbage last night. The Cowboys played well but they were coming off their coach being sacked which for whatever reason seems to make a difference. Plus we normally do ok up in Townsville.

Storm will be tough but we're at home and will give them a shake.

Despite Friday no reason we can't beat the Broncos, hopefully they're out of contention by then and give up.

At the end of the day most NRL tipsters probably run at about 60% so who knows. I did a ladder predictor last week and it's already stuffed. We seem to lift for the better teams and struggle in the games we should win so maybe a challenging draw is a good thing.

 

[Jobdog]

Yes, which we would be on if we didn't get the draw.

But the draw was as good as a loss purely because of that reason. If we had have won, we'd be 6th now. If we had have lost, we'd be 8th (which we still are).

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I still like having a buffer that 1 pt gave us instead of 0 points. Titans win today gives them less of an an outside hope than had we lost.

The titens have a 100 point worse for and against than the knights do. A one point lead is meaningless against them. Even if, lets say the Titans draw a game in the final rounds, they would still need to make up 100 points in their for and against. The chances of that are extremely remote.

 

[slotmachine]

Yeah, so we won't be beating the Storm.
