Pre-Game Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Its no surprise to me dce played his best game after its rumoured he is playing for origin place
I thought his luke warm form leading in was because slater boy had him in-the team
I would expect another big one this week with his eyes on origin

Im sorry but after speculating about his origin form year after year and considering the paralell results i have no faith at all that manly is his priority.
But do believe he will be playing for the chez man and thats probably enough to pip the knights

Maybe ponga under the same pressure

When he loses the QLD gig I’m expecting a massive dummy spit with very low output , but that’s assuming he’s signed his Rorters contract , if not , it’ll be full on.

Brooks will see us through this game if DCE gets the nod for SOO 2.

I’m not so sure he had a shocker leading the team last year against Souffs. He didn’t get close to scoring a point.

Heading to the graveyard that's Newcastle on a Thursday night. Coming off a good win. What could possibly go wrong....

Chance to show everyone that we can back up a good win against a team we really should smoke...have we done that so far this year?

Ill totally be negative Nancy here, but if there's an upset on the cards, it's tomorrow night.

Hopefully our captain turns up again with his Maroons jumper on the line and proves me well and truly wrong.

If he plays 6, Brookes will have his hands full.

Brooks defensively is on top of his game right now, shouldn't have to much to worry about tbh.

So you're referencing an average game from Brooks from last season, from what we saw from Brooks in the Bronks game, he should go alright against an average Knights side.

Klein in the bunker! That’s not good!

Jethro, just a query but why do we have three threads for our games (pre, game day and post)? Can’t it just all be in the one thread? Have wondered why that is. No major issue but was just curious.

Agree Klein not good, but better than Kasey Badger

Yeah, I think Brooks is a good defender (despite the Parra game) but I think Brimson is tough for all defenders. He's very quick and deceptively strong. He'll need to be at his best.
But let's get over Newcastle first, right 😂

I feel like Brimson has been below his best this year. Seems a bit turboesque like he’s always carrying injuries. Agree tho when fit and firing he’s a real handful.

Damn right Frogger!

Don’t forget the “dark mode” game thread as well. Which occurs to me, do we need a “dark mode” pregame thread for all the pessimists?

Or better still a “dark mode” Daly Cherry graph thread. Actually, we’d probably need a “light mode” thread for that one!
