UPCOMING MILESTONES​

 

[Kurriboy]

If Raiders can beat Sharks tomorrow, and hopefully give them a hiding, we are going to need to put a good win on the Panthers to get there on for and against.

 

[krustykraz]

The Tigers also need to lose to the Dragons but then beat the Sharks comfortably next week.
Not going to happen.

 

[Kurriboy]

Not so sure on that. I wouldn't put that scenario out of the question. Tigers form has been up and down this year, and coming off a big but all too easy win against us hopefully they come out against Dragons a little under done. Just need the Dragons to get up then see what happens.

Tigers vs Sharks is at Leichardt also.

 

[knights22]

Relying on the Dragons to get a win is never a good sign.

 

[Hughburt6]

Not looking forward to kikau running at Lino and sione

 

[Ljackson]

With Sharks loss today we desperately need dragons to win !!!

 

[Kurriboy]

Relying on the Dragons to get a win is never a good sign.

Well we got the raiders up. Dragons are going ok so far against tigers.

Never thought I'd say this but come on Dragons.

Never thought I'd say this but come on Dragons.

Agreed

 

[danknights]

Tigers win. We are gone. Panthers to put 40 on us next week.

 

[kurtgodley]

Tigers win. We are gone. Panthers to put 40 on us next week.

I guess it was nice to be right in finals calculations until the 2nd last round but to be real we never deserved to be.

We definitely don't deserve it. That comes back to the coach and players not giving it their all.

 

[krustykraz]

If the Storm and Rooters get done for breaching the salary cap in the next week we have a chance to play finals.

 

[packo]

Now look back at all the games we threw away....Titans, Dogs, Tigers x 2

Panthers and Dragons at home too at the start of the year.

 

[kurtgodley]

The missed opportunities being the Bulldogs and Warriors games at home hurt the most. Unbelievable we lost them both.

 

[Kurriboy]

At the start of the year, the draw was analysed and the Knights had one of the easiest draws in the comp.

We got off to a poor start with a run of home games and did not capitalise on them. Put ourselves under pressure, turned it around mid season off the back of Pearce brilliance for a time. It all came undone with the Origin period unsettling everything and the losses started again.

Always next year.

 

[Beaumont]

If Edric Lee don't get the intercept in round 1 we would've been 0 from 6 after the Titans game. Brown would've been punted and we make the 8. We're specials to play finals footy next year with a real coach.

 

[Battler]

This. We had every favour we could have asked for, and completely f*cked it up. Not good enough.

 

[mozza]

If Edric Lee don't get the intercept in round 1 we would've been 0 from 6 after the Titans game. Brown would've been punted and we make the 8. We're specials to play finals footy next year with a real coach.

If Watson and Pearce didn’t gift the Panthers and Dragons tries in Round 2 and 4 with in goal mistakes we’d of sealed a Top 8 spot already.
