What's to like about their fans?

Majority of them have very little understanding of the game, and probably couldn't name you more than 5 players from other clubs.

But yah, don't mind the underdog story.

A lot of fans I know in Sydney don’t watch other teams either …. Personally I like how their fans get into the games …they seem a bit more into it then the majority over here

I think we have enough fight in us to avoid the spoon

But looking at our draw it’s not good viewing for the next 6-8 weeks

Rest of the year is very hard. In my calculations about 3 winnable games, which is not enough to avoid the spoon. The last 2 weeks we should have beaten one of souths or cowboys but blew it. The storm game we were never winning. To lose to two fellow spoon contenders in newcastle and parra is not good. To play titans twice in the next few months is worrying, especially the last round in GC

Loss - panthers (Ivan hates tigers and cleary will be motivated to 1 up luai)
Loss - Raiders (top of table and on fire)
Loss - Manly (Brooks fired up and at Brookie)
Loss - Roosters (Allianz and they will target former rooster Terrell May)
Loss - Warriors in NZ (very hard to beat there, beat us in round 4 not even playing that well)
50/50 - Titans at Leichhardt (one of the more winnable games left in the year, if we lose this one we will go on a spiral towards last)
Loss - Panthers (again penrith will be better by this stage of season - late July)
Loss - Bulldogs (Galvin revenge game)
Loss - Manly (end of season will want to make top 8)
50/50 - Cowboys at Leichhardt (cowboys defence is not great and they are not good in Sydney)
Loss - Raiders in Canberra (could put a huge score on us in their last home game of the season before finals)
50/50 - Titans SPOONBOWL (it's going to be a repeat of last year, only this time we are not at home and facing a very attacking side dangerous across the park, as well as potentially Foran's last game if he retires)

I will come back to this later on in the year

Man, you give the Knights a lot of undue credit.

Knights beat penrith last week by 20. They know how to win scrappy and their defence never concedes 50+. They have managed to avoid the spoon the past 5 years with a terrible roster. There's a reason AOB has kept his job this long. Titans and Tigers are the two fighting out for the spoon. Difference is, Titans have a better coach and can beat a top side on their day. We don't have any unpredictability and have a coach that lost to Trent Barrett by 60 points in a spoon bowl last year

They've managed to avoid the spoon and even make the 8 the past few years with some genuine slugs all over their team. They have a lot of rugged defensive players that look awful, but are effective when they need a win. We don't have that. We have genuine losers like seyfarth who are rewarded with constant game time
