Yeah, looking at some of the PER stats, Knight's average is up there in the Top 5 of the league in those games that he has played. Will be a huge inclusion in our weakest area.

Of course, there are people on these boards that will say he's just an okay role player, so I'm sure it won't be that big a difference.

I think the there is a little bit of randomness to this, insofar as Perth have been inconsistent since the break. When they fire on all cylinders in a game, no team can match them; their best will not just match but destroy any other team's best. However, that hasn't been showing up that predictably (we saw it in the Perth @ Melbourne and Adelaide @ Perth games).

So it may just come down to which games Perth explodes in. I won't say that top spot and HCA is sewn up, but minor premiers is looking more likely than not with the final fixtures. As a number of people have suggested, you just don't see Perth dropping a three-game series. (Of course, I didn't expect the back-to-back home losses either).

Inshallah, we will take the title! Or something like that. Would be good though, I'm hoping getting the title in the new building will rust on the new spongier part of the supporter base to the Challenge Stadium-era core.

Should hopefully keep 10k as a permanent base-line to attendance, which will be good for the league as a whole in terms of chasing corporate interest and being taken seriously.

@MACDUB, Nathan: If NZ beat Perth, I can't see them losing the GF.

If you're going to suggest NZ shocking Perth in the semis, you may as well just go whole hog and shock Adelaide too! Think big, Macdub, think big!

Wollongong were very good in the playoffs last year. Some people may remember that they only just lost to Perth in OT. The last shot of their in regulation time just rolled out.

I really have no clue at this stage. Everyone is having random shockers.
