Bullies to win, probably in a tight one. JT backed up from the Test and scored a hat-trick, so a 48 hour turnaround feels like a long time. Cows weren't great against the Dragons away from home, and the Dogs are playing too well at the moment.

Hopefully you're right lol but Thurston always saves his best for the Doggies... 2 day turn around doesn't really effect him either.

 

[jpaciocco91]

This'll be a great one, real hard to pick a winner, but i'll go for cows purely on JT's recent form (except for the dragons game) and his ability not to tire after rep games. Cows1-8.

07 repeat - BOTH games!

Not gonna happen

 

[beave]

And so it begins!!

Nice One. This will be a hard one for both teams. Going on the table, Bulldogs but by recent form its a mix.

Should be a great game. Why arent the doggies moving this one to suncorp like previous years?

 

[Knights_Premiers]

This will be an awesome game, as for tipping it's 50/50 imo. I am leaning towards the Bulldogs but I can't rule the Cowboys out. Although, I tipped the Cowboys against the Dragons and lost. The loss of Bowen is huge but if Thurston fires...who knows.

Cause we are taking our game against the Titans up to suncorp instead this year

 

[Timmah]

Should be a cracker!!!

Dogs by 14.

 

[jimmythehand]

holdsworth AND morrin? oh dearie me, that's a fairly ordinary bench.

why is morrin in ahead of armit?

 

[jimmythehand]

okay so armit has a hernia, boy am i glad morrin wasn't chosen on merit.

bulldogs to win this in a canter. The General will carve the Cowgirls up, Kimmorley will once again show he's NSW best halfback and Thurston will be bottled up with nowhere to move.

Bulldogs 32 Cowgirls 12

If Thurston has a blinder, I'll revise my score to 24-22 with goalkicking to prove the difference (probably el masri missing).

 

[Shorty]

Ooh ooh I'm so glad Dogs chose Holdworth, he's good to lose the ball a few times!
The guy was horrible last week - Why is he picked again?

 

[Timmah]

Holdsworth tore Melbourne a new one four weeks ago, what are you on? :|

 

[Charlie124]

Thurston always backs up well, and being 2 days later is absolutely perfect, just needs to make it through tonights game unscathed. I dont think the loss of Bowen will hurt us too much, Ty has gotten back to some great form and Bowen really hasnt fired much this year so far. Hopefully Rapira and Tamou both get a run, they'll tear the dogs to shreds.

CARN THE COWS!!!
