I went Warriors 12 and under. The same as the last 2 weeks and that has worked well. So I'll keep the prediction the same and hope we put on 40 again

I'm looking forward to this one.
I think we can win well and I also think we need to if we're going to carry on winning.
And hopefully no tries given against us this year that even the Knights are surprised by
 
Ball handling in the flegg/cup games has been atrocious for both teams. Hope this doesn't carry into the first grade game. Our victory is built around dominating possession and ensuring that they just never have an opportunity inside our red zone to exploit the speed and pace in their backline. Knights fans are salivating at the Gagai vs Halasima matchup. They probably forgot that he beat every member of their backline at least twice in the lead up to that crazy try that broke them last year. But I hope Leka is up to the defensive challenge. As is Ali on Bradman Best.

Possible humid conditions causing dropped balls?

I speculate that Leka will have an absolute blinder. No matter what comes. He is a game breaker.
 
Looking forward to see how the debutants go, probably an ideal game for a debut. Knights can still throw something at us, wether or not they can sustain it is another thing.

Sticking with 12-, it's worked well the last 2 weeks!
