Team announced Tuesday​

​

​

I'd put Wednesday, just to cover yourself.

 

[RHCP]

I can't see us winning this one.

 

[perverse]

I can't see us winning this one.

that's a polite way to put it.

 

[cram]

Not being a fan of Monday night footy I'm going to struggle to get to this one.

Won't happen though and if we get touched up in this game it really will be a battle for the spoon against Parramatta the weekend after.

 

[The Showstopper]

Robbie Farah, if he plays, will have a blinder. Fact is the kid has proven all of his knockers very wrong. He is our origin hooker for the next five years. Also after watching Benji's tears on Sunday i think it well and truly puts to bed any belief he and Robbie are not close. We are up against it for sure.

Nah it'll be Tuesday. Just might be late Tuesday like normal

Replace Sims with someone else who has already played FG this year and I reckon you might be almost bang on the money.

 

[Zoidberg]

It'll be a good team on paper. I'll think to myself were in with a chance. Boys won't have their hearts in it and get smashed. I'll be peeved off. Rinse and repeat.

This forum is alive with activity! Knights by 20 cause I can.....

Agree. I wouldnt be throwing Sims into the fire without at least some time in NSWCup first playing against men

The deja vu nightmare continues

 

[madunit]

Tigers winning streak wasn't really that impressive, their form is very deceptive.

We'll no doubt have a halfback at fullback, a capable fullback at centre, a centre at five-eighth, a five-eighth at halfback, and Adam Bludge

If Farah plays, I'd back the Tigers.

If Farah doesn't play, Knights will win imo.

 

[perverse]

geez unit, that's bold. the tigers may be deceptive... but there's nothing deceptive about our ineptitude. it's hanging out there for all to see. our blokes just don't care - they've been booed off the field the past 2 home games.

 

[Silent Knight]

Yup there's no doubt about it. The Tigers are going to have a field day. This game could get real ugly.

 

[madunit]

The Knights are playing a boring, uninterested brand of footy, but they are doing the basics better than the Tigers are.

Look at the Tigers pack, if Woods misses any time through injury etc, the Tigers pack, as it is now, is completely ineffective.

Blair is the worst defender at the club, alongside Benji.

He's also the laziest.

We have two slow wingers

several players unnecessarily out of position and subsequently out of form, no depth, a shit bench and a stubborn old merkin who thinks all is peachy because we beat a heap of teams woefully out of form, missing origin stars, or well below us on the ladder.

Tigers have had the most favourable draw of all teams so far this year.

They've also been handed a win they didn't deserve in Round 1.

I wouldn't rate Newcastle all that far behind the Tigers, if at all.

 

[perverse]

i hope you're right, mate. i just think the tigers actually wanting to win a game of footy will be enough for them by itself. we've got a 1 way ticket to 16th booked... i honestly can't see a situation in which we win a game of football at the moment. i bet it's going to be the most ugly game of football ever seen if we do manage one soon.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Do we play Parra again this year?
