It's at home so you have to be confident of a win. We're a different side at home. I don't think we'll breeze past them though, i think they'll be tougher than what the Tigers & Cowboys were. But if we keep to the gameplan & don't try & score off every set we should definitely win, our home crowd is so much more influential to the team than what i realized.

Knights by at the very least 12.
 
Last year's game p*ssed me off so much. That's was probably the lowest point of our 2012 season, losing to them & the Titans, who both at the time were pathetic teams, at our own home stadium, i couldn't believe it at the time.
 
Not to mention both those games were at home....bad memories but I don't think those efforts will be repeated this time
 
I swear Canberra are the only team I can't stand ever since the days of Vidot being an absolute tosser lol. Ferguson has to have the most punchable face in the NRL.

I don't think I'm being too bias here but I think we well and truly have them covered from 1-17, especially ifTahu and Mason are in, and even Gids and Scott. Their fans are talking about how Wighton is going to show up Uate which has nothing to do with what I'm saying but I just thought that was funny lol. If form and teams on paper are anything to go by this should be another big win for us. I'm not getting overly confident as every team is a hard beat but surely we'll be dominant favourites. They only beat the worst team in the NRL last week and got absolutely spanked by 2 of the more average sides in the fortnight before.

I just hope we keep the same aggressive, in your face style, that was definitely the key to our success. We all know we have one of the best attacking teams, it just comes down to defence and pressure, we have to keep that to the highest standards.

If Campese plays, which I don't think he will, I'm not worried. He's never really been anything special imo and I'm pretty sure we versed them last time in Campese's first game back and we flogged them. For a player to be out that long and to go through as much as he has, I'm sure it'll take some time for him to return to being any kind of threat.

And just btw, so many people are saying we're lucky that Tigers and Cowboys played so badly against us lol I like the fact that these teams just miraculously play badly against a team on fire, not getting the credit we deserve keeps us off the radar and I love that.
 
Pretty simple really. If we turn up and put in like last night the Faders will get hammered. I don't buy into "the Cowboys were terrible". It was still only 10 - 6 after 50 minutes. The Cowboys were battered into submission by a very committed Knights. Knights 46 - 10
 
It's gotta be the knight especially that where at home, i think we need to watch robinson and be careful when where at the line defending, but still we are gonna win this easy.

Knights 28
Raiders 12
FTS - Boyd
LTS - Uate
MOTM - Mullen
 
The biggest thing that scares me is our reputation of losing matches we should win, we've been doing it for years. I won't be able to get excited about our finals chances until we can turn this around but I can definitely get excited about our current form and chances against teams like Raiders!!

Knights 52
Raiders 10
FTS McManus
LTS Buderus
MTM Roberts
