:lol:

Also in the race. Bulldogs.

...and Warriors.

 

[SSFC Hitman]

The dogs will finish below Souths. BTW Even though we havent even played this week yet. Souths will beat the Cowboys minus Thurston, Bowen and Lillyman with Craig Wing back. And we will probably start favourites as well.

And don't know about favorites, but if Souffs can't get over the line with that line up then they don't deserve to be in the comp.

What makes you say that?

We've got around 6-8 players still to return over the remainder of the year. You'll need to win at least 3 matches between now and years end AND rely on us going winless til R26... unlikely IMO.

 

[Jobdog]

Its not a Bulldogs thread ffs :evil:

 

[Timmah]

I know... I didn't make it about them tbh

 

[elyod138]

Souths should win this.

How so...you are currently one win in front with a worse differential...moron:sarcasm:

ps we will get a lot more than 3 wins

Souths are on the way up so the spoon battel will be between Cowboys, Bulldogs and Warriors - the title is misleading

 

[Galeforce]

Cowboys will be tough at home. Folks who believe there is so much difference between the teams does not know rugby league.
If souths cans win this , then whilst they need to remain focused on 1 game at a time, I am not concerned about negative thinking of spoon , i will thinking about maintaining a run for top 8.

 

[Timmah]

Gee some of you Souths fans need to go in search of a sense of humour ;-)

 

[rabs]

yay thanks for that Tim

 

[SSFC Hitman]

Gee some of you Souths fans need to go in search of a sense of humour ;-)

I just hope after we win this week next weeks thread between the dogs and Souths will be titled....Battle for second last lol.:lol:

 

[Shorty]

Cow 2-1 in GP!

 

[God-King Dean]

Rabbits FTW

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Neither team will be big on defence. I can see the scoreline being something along the lines of 36 - 30. On paper South's should win as they are full strength up against a depleted Cowboys team. South's finding some form, Cowboys out of form big time. But I really do think this will be close. Go the Bunnies!!
