Blake Austin gives us a chance so far he’s the only one I’ve seen give a good explanation of how we could win

I’m sure Lucus will get more game time this week. 14mins last game. Would say he will play double that this game. McEwen into prop? Or he spells one our young second rowers.

You could say to Manu go as hard as you can, pressure Cleary and fold Martin, you will get a spell during the game.

Or a 10min enforced rest. Don’t fire Manu up too much.

Here’s a stat to suggest we are due….

We have played in 5 previous prelims:
1995 V Manly (Lost)
1997 V Norths (Won)
2000 V Roosters (Lost)
2001 V Sharks (Won)
2013 V Roosters (Lost)
2026 V Panthers ?

Yep, if when we win it's going to be because we've executed our game better than we have all year.

Terrific use of strikethrough there……..

 

[Treadly]

Its not like we have a bad record against Panthers in finals, they have never beaten us.

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Manu scared me last game - was clutching his elbow after some solid contact.
Thought Lucas was gonna have to play a fair stint - or back Cant to get through the minutes.

 

[Billy]

Even if we go out this time, we suddenly have a very young forward pack with 3 games in finals and 10 good years ahead of them.

Hopwood, Crouch, McEwen, Manuleleua would get a top 19 spot in any side after what they have done in the last month, and they are all basically rookies.

 

[Mclovin]

Matty Johns getting pretty emotional on 360 tonight, it is just amazing supporting a team that even now many years later the players who have come before still feel so much for the club, are still passionate for the mighty Newcastle Knights

 

[Timmy]

Joey was just as emotional last night on Freddy and the Eighth. Love to see it. They are both just one of us.

Not sure if already posted but apparently 2/3 of the tickets have been bought by Knights fans (or at least Hunter postcodes). Would be brilliant to drown out the panthers noise..

We’re gonna win this. Haven’t seen us lose at Accor live since 2009.

Reckon things will click and we’ll take advantage of all the half chances we’ve been creating of late.

Knights - 28
Panthers - 12

Sharpe hat trick and MOTM

Hard to believe but this will be Frizell's first ever preliminary final of his career

Sharpe hat trick and MOTM

Sharpe hat trick paying $101.
Just saying...

 

[mudmarn]

Gees hope we can somehow manage to do this.
Iam excited that it might bring back the red and blue beers the the Cricketers Arms were selling in 97!...i was crapping green for a week!!

 

[Treadly]

How's everyone's excitement levels?

I haven't even tried to change my panthers end tickets as there will be knights fans frigging everywhere.

Win or not, so proud of the boys and so excited for the future. This feels so much better that the streak in '23.

We need that Newcastle chant to ring out constantly across the stadium and drown out the panthers supporters.....that would surely lift the boys.

 

[RedBlue]

I’m a teacher and jersey day (including parents dropping their kids off) are all decking the knights! It is knights fever!

Excitement building! Big outsiders but there’s something about it you just think, hang on we can win this
