Analysis:

Nobody would blame the Knights for simply just trying to hang on and not get injured in this one. They’ve been put through a pretty solid onslaught of top teams so far and the cunts have to be feeling a bit tender by this point. With one eye looking over the hill at one of the easiest upcoming schedules in the NRL (these cunts get the Dragons twice in the next few rounds, no shit), I could forgive Newy for simply just doing enough to minimise the incoming damage from the Bunnies this week to ensure that they are fit and healthy to beat the living dogshit out of everyone they face for like the next 7 rounds or so.

That is certainly one sensible train of thought cunts, but I’m feeling something in the air tonight Phil, so get ready for this red hot take: The Bunnies are frauds and the Knights are about to eat. That’s right, you heard me cunt. I’m saying the Knights start their winning streak fuckin today, and here’s why:

I’m not talking shit on anyone, I like both of these teams; They go hard and put on a good fuckin show for us punters every week and we can’t fault them for that. However, looking into the Bunnies game data so far is like eating a hard shell taco – the more you dig in, the more the whole thing falls to pieces. “Oh wow!” you might say, “The Bunnies have only given up three tries in the last two games!”. Yeah, against fucking Melbourne and St George, cunt. Sit down. 

“Well..” You continue to argue, “They have only given up TWO tries to CTWs in the last FOUR games! What do you have to say to THAT, Mr smart guy?”.

I’d say the fact that they got scored on at all by the Bulldogs and Raiders outside backs is a further indictment for the Rabbitohs, and you should probably just shut the fuck up. Throw in the fact that those two serial underachievers scored 10 fucking tries on South Sydney, and you can sit all the fucking way down cunt, and I mean aaaaaaaall the way. 

It should piss Knights fans off to no end that their team has thus far received exactly zero fucking credit for stopping the Tom Jenkins express last week. Cunt scores a double on every team he faces, then turns up with nothing but his dick in his hand at the end of last week… Nothing… Crickets. Like that fact alone has single handedly scared the shit out of me into not betting on Alex Johnston to score this week. Like you can cunt, I’m not the boss of you, but I would be worried about it if I had half a brain. Casey McClean is not Latrell Mitchell though, take from that statement what you will. 

Big week for human stringbean Campbell Graham and unsocialised-Kelpie Jack Wighton though, because guess where everybody has been going when they find the Knights have neutralized their left side attack? Yeah you get it. I’m proud of you. 

Newcastle have been firmly ripped to shreds by all spine players, conceding 17 tries just to Hookers, Halves and Fullbacks, so there’s surely a decent shot on some big odds players to get in here, since nearly all of the money would be going to the outside backs. 

Great week for KP to turn up again for Newcastle, I won’t bore you with the stats, but lets just say it rhymes with Shmouth Shmidney are ducking fit against Shcmullbacks. Should be a few meat pies in this shit, scumbags.
