Benji v JT, it doesn't get any better.

Coin flip here - I reckon it could be a cricket score, something like 36-30 or the like. Could very well come down to Thurston's kicking over Marshall's.

The shorter turnaround will hurt the Tigers as well as playing on the Cowboys turf, in their heat, but the Cowboys can't take the Tigers easy for a minute. With players like Marshall, Moltzen and Farah a length of the field try is just as likely as a try from within the opposition 10.

I expect this to be one of the better games thus far and may the best team win. Goodluck to the Cowboys and up the Tigers!

 

[MacDougall]

Tigers will win by 80.

 

[Eelectrica]

This game is going to fun to watch. First team to score 50 wins?

 

[Talanexor]

Tigers have improved a lot more than the Cowboys over last season IMO. Have recruited well.

BUT - Thurston is kicking at 100% for the year. Benji is nowhere near that. And Gallant will have a blinder.

Going to be a cracker.

Cows to win...by 8.

 

[Marshall_magic]

This fixture is usually a blow out. I can only think of one close game between the 2 sides up there in the past 5 years.

 

[beave]

should be an awesome game, hopefully a real spectacle.

 

[MacDougall]

Tigers will win by 80.

 

[Knights_Premiers]

The game of the round. Want the Tigers to win but leaning towards the Cowboys. For memory the Tigers can't win up there and the Cowboys can't beat them down in Sydney. Cowboys by 10 in a high scoring affair (36-26)

I dont know about this game, we were lucky against the Raiders to get a win and I think this will be a much tougher game. I never tip against my team and I think we can win this one in a close but high scoring game.

The thing that is going to decide this game is whether Ayshford is ok to play becasue we are going to need a massive effort from our centre that comes up against Tonga, he is on fire!!

 

[Big Pete]

Cowboys easily.

 

[Gaba]

cowboys will have the better defense

cowboys by 18

Teams and referees updated.

 

[Ziggy the God]

Should be a cracker.

Tip the Tigers by 10.

 

[beave]

Brett Suttor................... f**king awesome.....................

 

[Charlie124]

I think if the Cowboys play anything like they did last week we'll come out on top in this one.

Cows by 16

Brett Suttor................... f**king awesome.....................

He is a shocking ref. He lets his emotions rule his decisions.

I remember 1 game he had a set against LoD. No matter what LoD did this clown was penalising him for it. So much so that when the other ref, Klein I think it was, was talking to LoD, Suttor was chipping in through the mike from the other side of the field. I nearly through my sports ears down & jumped the fence.

I hope if he gets the sh!its with someone, its a Tigs player.

 

[eagles4eva]

Looking forward to this game, Cows by 4

 

[gronkathon]

Depends.

I doubt Ayshford will be ok so it depends on who he brings in. There is also speculated doubt that Galloway copped an injury last week as well.

We go in with Ayshford and Galloway missing I am less confidant especially if Brown moves to centre, Fitzy to wing and Cayless into the side as postulated by some.

The Cows are looking good. The young 5/8 looks good, Thurston and Mason are hitting form and Tonga was brilliant last week.

Liam Fulton is the key and it will be interesting to see if Legion Of Doom still wants to have a carry on with him
