I rate them a very dangerous side who can score a lot of points Whilst not saying they can or will make a GF I do see a lot of similarities with them to us in 2010

All respect to Toops

but very excited to watch RRobbo outside Mitchell

This is a good knights team with a good attitude. They could easily cause an upset. Our dangermen will be Mitchell, Ferguson, Keary and Cronk which if they play well will be almost impossible to stop. But this is not the knights of 2017 and an upset is definitely on the cards as it will be a highly charged match with former rooster players wanting to make a very strong statement.

Just have to tackle harder, run faster and execute, start faster and finish stronger and we should get the two points.

IMO they are 3 times the side the Tigers are, so we definitely need to show uo with the right attiude

Physically, talent and experience wise we have them covered across the park and we should win well. BUT, it might come down to attitude, who wants it more, and the bounce of the ball. The Knights will be up for the contest but maybe the emotion will get the better of them. Our loss to the Tigers in round 1 should help our guys understand that there are no easy wins out there. Hopefully it will be a great game, I like our defence this year, and if Cronk can get up some good field position we have the players to put a number on the Knights. I would love us to put this rivalry to bed in a big way with a 30 point win.

30 plus. Last week we were just chambering the cartridge, this week we start firing.

had a naughty little dream of cronk stepping past pearce and just brushing him off to score try, was a great dream. i feel this would be a very close game since last year we thought we would smash them but ended up closer and harder than we thought and theyve only got better. Even then basically every one in the chooks team is better than their opposite number so we should win

Is anyone else's nrl live pass showing the game is in Toowoomba?
