Since no one else will start it, I will. Cowboys have allot to play for and our record backing up after Monday night games isn't the best

cowboys have won their last 3 games at remondis.

their season is on the line.

we're backing up from a physical game on monday.

we should win - but it'll be tight.

We have our Best percentage record of all oposition against Cowboys. Surely we have a plan against Thurston, stop them in the forwards and watch Bowen? With their Hooker out, is this a chance to see if we can "Rest" Isaac De Gois and rotate someone else through there? Close, but Sharks by 1 in Golden Point.

I'm predicting a loss, based on the fact every time we're bookies favourites we lose. After beating roosters the boys will slip into old mistakes and get complacent ala knights and let some slip in. Having said that, their 9 broke his jaw and they have dummy half issues, though we don't need to win now with a home final secured anyway. It would be great to win, because it locks them out of the finals.

We will smash the cowboys. Not close. All over by half time. We are playing good footy atm

im sorry but 1 good game doesn't count as playing good footy
We were diabolical against the saints

got in before me. Great game last week no doubt but the cows are a little more dangerous to us then the Roosters. Roosters are the better side but they want to play you through the middle with big men and their halves are not the main creators so our edge didnt get the work over it should have.

Cows have JT and Bowen who will attack all game espically on the edges.

I see a win but not a massive win maybe 12 points.

The longest journeys start with one step.

One good game counts as playing good footy. Especially against the top team.

Dragons - We played crap and then came back and won in the dying seconds. This fact alone should tell you where the team is at. They dug in and got the results, they then smash the roosters. 26-0 half time score = good footy.

That game was filled with dubious ref calls and it could have gone either way. That final play was sheer luck, firstly that fifita picked it up and secondly that we were given benefit of the doubt on a possibly simultaneous grounding. One good anything does not equate to statistical significance. We are playing ok, but its that mindset that costs us games.

Thats my point. The mindset won us the game against the dragons and we smashed the roosters. Bad calls or not - thats the nature of the game. We stayed in there swinging until the end and that shows you where they were at. You heard it here first - big win.
