With the usual ups and downs, injuries, SOO pending along with our usual injury list I will still be in melt down mode until round 12 is over and only then will I breath a huge sigh of relief, assuming we get the two points
I'm a bit nervous for this one.....I know the bye hasn't beaten any team yet but we might play them into form

Bali?

I think Bradman would struggle to convince his wife that he needs to go to Bali and leave her with the new born baby this year - but others might be on the plane as we speak.

You'd think she would want him to get the other leg done.

All I’m saying is the bye is a perfect time to announce the re-signings of Lucas and Best
We should get the media’s approval first though

Having reached the Origin Bye round, it's a great time to reflect on the start to the season and has to be said but the Knights typically squander starts to seasons and 11 games in we have won 7, lost 4 which was through an injury crisis so excused.
Those 4 losses were against the Raiders, the Tigers who were flying at the time, Roosters who currently sit above us in 3rd, and the Panthers who are 1st.
All in all it's been a fantastic start to the season and the boys have earned a break this week. Rest up, spend time with family, heal up and reload for the origin period of the season.
Origin period we have:
Parra - Home
Storm - Away
Dragons - Home
Tigers - Home
Dolphins - Home
4 home games and only 1 away trip during Origin, plus 2 more bye's mixed in we should handle Origin fairly well. I'd hope to bank at least 3, if not 4 of those games sitting us very nicely on the ladder getting ready for the run to the finals.

Agreed with the run, I think the minimum should be 3 wins out of the 5, honestly I can even see us go 4/5 but imo minimum is 3 wins.

Holbrook said something interesting in the presser after the Titans game - that Sharpe would be fullback for the next game against Parramatta because KP “ has something else on “ , meaning Origin.
Not expecting KP to back up ?

We lost to the Warriors, dont bring us down to the level of the Raiders
I think you meant warriors? We thumped the Raiders

We have been beaten by top 4 teams (tigers were there at one point) this year whilst we had our spine missing or just returning. I think overall its been a pretty good start to the season, I would love to of been more competitive against those teams we lost to but this is the Knights we are talking about.
The gap between our good and our bad has definitely gotten smaller and we have won ugly which winning teams need to be able to.
Really hoping we make finals and give teams a bit of scare!

All of our losses this year have been with significant injuries, more than one top player injured and to top teams.
Warriors: Injuries to Ponga, Brown, Sharpe, we were playing Gamble as 6 and Hunt as 1.
Tigers: Injuries to Ponga, Best, Brown, we were playing Hunt as 1, WDC as centre.
Roosters: Injuries to Ponga, Best, Lucas, we were playing Manulelua as 2nd row, Hunt as centre.
Panthers: Injuries to Lucas, Ponga, Best, Marzhew, we were playing Manulelua 2nd row, Schiller as winger, Hunt as centre.
All of our losses could have been different results barring injury, but injuries happen and at least our losses were to top 4 teams.
We have done phenomenally to start the season, better than we could have hoped, so insanely proud of the Knights so far. We are pleasing to watch, exciting, and anything is possible.
