[Das Gupta]

Knights could be a chance. Cows have dropped a couple at home and I presume JT will still be out.
Knights by 4.

 

[Whino]

Cows.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Good chance of grinding out a 4 point win

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Good chance of grinding out a 4 point win

If we go out there with the commitment & attitude of our 2nd half from Sat night
We should win . If we go out there with Sat night first half commitment we will get rolled by 10-14

 

[Hawkins]

I think the Cowboys can play well enough to beat Newcastle. Maybe

 

[Nice Beaver]

Cows by 24

 

[mozza91]

If:
-Our forwards aim up
-The refs give us a leg up for once
-Hodkinson pulls his finger out
-Hess and Taumalolo pick up injuries in the warm up
We'll still probably lose by 20.

 

[Valheru]

I smell an upset here, knights to win.

It will be interesting to see if the Knights can maintain their amazing discipline from last week.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Cows by 4. A bit of ticker from the Knights will push them hard all game though.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

Unless Ray Thompson plays knights by 2.

 

[TheFrog]

Cows were great in the second half last match. More of that and they'll win easy.

 

[Pennies]

Cows.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Winters back is huge. Missed his metres working out of our half

 

[ed-grimley]

NQ - just.

 

[matrightyeh]

cows

 

[Frederick]

Hodkinson dropped, Feeney into 17

 

[Rhyno]

Knights by 4'

 

[TheVelourFog]

probably the game we need right now
as long as we don't pull the "just need to turn up to win" crap

Cows by 18

 

[Miller was a legend]

Cowboys by as many as they decide is enough
