Now this game is huge,I see people have been plowing into the Knights + 11.5 and fair enough as the Storm by far have the most players backing up and the Knights only have one,but I ain't so sure of the Knights chances here tonight at all.

The Knights have only Gidley backing up from the test but there is so much time between Friday and Monday that the fatigue factor should'nt matter that much and although the Knights have been playing well they have now played 4 games in which they were behind to storm back in the second half this season,last weeks 13-12 win over the Titans was the first time this season the Knights have been held scoreless in the second half and they have also played and won against the Rosters in a big second half come back and also came back against the Broncos quite well in the second half,but the Storms defence are;nt either of those teams and if they get behind against the Storm it could turn into a bloodbath.

The Storm have no less than 8 players backing up from the Test Slater,Folau,Smith,Inglis.Crocker,Blair,Smith and Hoffman,but if there is any side who can probaly deal with that well it's the Storm,they are trained well and are very fit and at home at the Graveyard at night are one of the hardest sides to beat,tired or not I really don't see the Knights getting within 10 of the Storm here tonight and i'll go that way also.

Recent results and this is a place where most teams fear to tread and the Knights are no exception,the Knights have only beaten the Storm twice in their last 9 matches and at the Graveyard or Olympic Park in Melbourne it gets really ugly as the Storm have won 6 of their last 8 games against the Knights there by an average winning margin of 24 points.

Tired or not I can't see why so many people like the Knights here,the Knights have played well and have nevr given in but they have played teams who have allowed them back into their games and this Storm side have a great defence and normally don't allow sides back in and thats what I think will happen this week as well,the Knights are dreadfull in Melbourne and the Storm grow 10 feet tall there and get alot of lucky calls goiung their way,I like ther Storm to win big tonight..Good Luck.

Also look for Slater to score the first try.
