Let's do this. :rockon:

Shall be interesting to see how they go up against a fairly good team this week.

I feel a flogging coming... The Warriors might bring them back to earth.

 

[Alec]

We won a tough game vs the Warriors, and beat a top 4 side. This should be a breeze, hopefully.

Are the Cowboys not a fairly good side?

 

[noisetheory]

knights are pretenders.

we go there primed for a big game we wont have any problems beating them.

 

[Fozz]

Are the Cowboys not a fairly good side?

Well, they were a near full strength top four side so clearly not.

 

[Coxy]

pretty sure Nat was referring to the Knights playing the Warriors this weekend.

Knights recent form is impressive, but not against quality.

Def Raiders 40-8 at home
Def Titans 50-20 at home
Def Cronulla 18-0 away
lost to Manly 32-10 at home
lost to NQ 22-12 at home
def St George 14-10 away
def Roosters 18-10 at home

so last 7 games, 4 against bottom 4 teams which they won, and 3 against top 8 teams, lost 2 (and won against out of form Dragons).

You should never underestimate the Knights.

They have a couple of individuals who can conjure something out of nothing. Their forward pack is actually pretty decent as well.

The game being in Newcastle only adds to the task.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Should win, better win. Griffin has us playing well. Te'o coming back is a big big plus for us.

 

[ningnangnong]

Think you've got the wrong thread Paolo.

 

[Foordy]

does anyone know if Hannant is likely to be back for this game or is he out for a few more yet

He said a couple of weeks on the sideline yesterday when he was on 4BC

 

[user_nat]

Knights were pretty unimpressive against the Warriors tonight. Although they have a bad record in NZ.
Should be able to win thus ne easily.

Sucks that it's a Monday though, hate waiting all weekend.

Still can't understand why it's a Monday game. Makes no sense to me, but I guess the broadcasters have all the scheduling power these days.

I am over Monday games.

 

[Kimlo]

Monday games are good...



When it's not the team you support playing.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Monday games a good if you have foxtel and it is an away game...

 

[vertigo]

Might sound stupid but wouldn't be too upset if we lost this game.
