Our best chance of toppling a full strength top 8 side and proving we're worth our salt when it comes to finals time.
 
This should be a great game. Our forwards have to dominate their forwards if we are to win. Also it will be interesting to see how strong we are mentally if the game gets tough especially after versing crap teams like the Sharks, Titans and the Raiders. Will we stick to the gameplan and grind out a win or will we do silly stuff like in the last 20 against the Raiders?
 
Lewis Brown wont be playing

Hilder ruled out. Mata'Utia is his replacement.

Tough to beat the Warriors over there , I would be a lot more confident if it was at Ausgrid . In saying that I didn't think we would score 90 points in the last 2 weeks .

Will be really tough, but for some reason I'm feeling confident.
 
Not confident, I know we smashed Canberra & Gold coast at home I just don't have faith in them playing the big clubs at the moment especially after getting beat 32-10 to Manly at home. Plus our recent record against the warriors isn't flash either. They seem to always muscle up well in defense against us. I hope I'm proved wrong will feel happy & relieved :)

Don't think we will win this one at all, we always seem to fall to the warriors, plus we are going for 4 in a row for the second time this season, and we all know how that went.
 
I'm really feeling this match.

Knights 40+ again
Warriors 18

Only thing I'm not confident in is Uate, everytime he comes up against Manu, Manu destroys him. His boost in confidence last couple of weeks may help, but I'm expecting a double from Manu on saturday. In attack though, I think MacDougall and Uate will be to strong, hatricks for both?
 
Gonna be a tough match. Warriors have been playing some good footy lately and they're a very tough team to beat at home. We're gonna have to be on our game to win this one.
