Newcastle only lost by 6 the last time they played in round 2 and Newcastle has beaten them consistently at home and put up a good fight against them away from home.
I think the whole "players getting pumped up" for someone's final game or 200 or games or something is totally overblown. You only have to look at the Richmond Tigers last week in Cousins' last game, they were down by 60 or something at one stage. Everyone has contracts to play for and both teams should be playing just as hard.
I might look like a sucker come monday but I am going to put a unit on the +21.5 now.
