[Vic Mackey]

Form lines of these two teams very hard to read. Will pick Cowboys purely on faith. Say by 18, will run away with it late. Then kata will score a try in the 80th minute and do his post try celebration.

 

[footy75]

Must win game for both teams.
Cows need to win it to keep top 4 chances alive.
Warriors need to win it to keep finals chances alive.

Cows by 10 only because it's up there.

 

[Hawkins]

Bounce back for the Cowboys, maybe golden point

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

We could win by 40 or lose by 20 .
Who knows too many variables
An out of form cows v which Warriors team ?
The going through the motions uninterested warriors or the we are unbeatable when we wanna be warriors.

Could be entertaining or very boring .

Cows by 16 with no confidence at all

 

[Clifferd]

Cows to bounce back here and put the cleaners through Warriors

 

[Whino]

Cows at home surely.
I have no confidence in deciding which Jekyll and Hyde Warriors team will show up.

 

[TheFrog]

How is JT? I get the feeling he hasn't completely recovered from his recent injury because he hasn't been the force he usually is. If he's fit the Cows will win this well.

It took only one loss for the Warriors to go from being in the box seat for a finals spot, to hanging off the cliff by their fingernails. Townsville is not a good place to be doing that.

 

[ed-grimley]

You'd never make money betting on NZ.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Cows 42-18

 

[WithTheDawn]

You'd never make money betting on NZ.

Could make a living betting off them when they are favourites though...

 

[WithTheDawn]

What's the bet the Warriors win this one to keep their season alive and then go lose to the Tigpies the week after in Auckland anyway...

 

[GongPanther]

Warriors to bounce back.No idea why,just a hunch.

 

[Rhyno]

Cows by 20

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Stupid Warriors dethrone the great Jarryd Hayne and than get spanked by Wazn the next week,what a bunch of fools.

Stupid Warriors dethrone the great Jarryd Hayne and than get spanked by Wazn the next week,what a bunch of fools.

This...by far the most frustrating team in the league.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

no idea, really dont know.

 

[Charlie124]

Purple

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Cows should bounce back, but who knows how the Warriors will play.

 

[Card Shark]

Cows at home surely

You'd think so but the cows are out of form & as you say, who knows what the Warriors will dish up.
