So who would you rather play? Personally i prefer the Dogs, while they may be a bit stronger in the forwards i reckon we can counter them while i think the Knights have more strike power in the backs and more potential to score.

Have to laugh at the Dogs :lol:
Spent more time with their 'lie down & beg for penalties' system in the first 40 than they did being creative ::)

Knights defence has been massive.

Before the game I said I'd rather play Newcastle, and I'm very confident of us winning our way to a prelim.
We will need to play very well to beat the Roosters in Sydney.

We need to be at 100% no matter who we played anyway. If we don't we will get knocked out.

Agreed we have to be near our best to beat whoever we play and if we are we can beat anyone. Problem being we haven't been at that level of late so we have some work to do. Having said that i think we'll win this week and hopefully a good one will give us some confidence moving forward.

TBH, we only just beat the knights both times this year. They are a really good team when they are on and they were today. Even with 12 men for 10 mins their defense was STORM like, let's just hope we have a great week and get our structure right and keep our eye on the prize! Hopefully Sisa is ok to play. And would like everyone's opinion on widdop and finch ? Who gets the 6.. Gaz definitely looked out of sorts and made a few bad decisions. Hmmmmmm

Ticket prices for our game considerably more expensive than the Manly v Sharks game seems very unfair.
