I'm going to go with my heart and pick the Warriors. What happened on Sunday wasn't something to remember. Let's just hope that we have learnt from that.

 

[One Warrior]

I am not going to panic, Sunday afternoon was an anomaly called Benji Marshall.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Johnathon Thurston is one of the best anomalies I've ever seen.

 

[devoid]

Johnathon Thurston is one of the best anomalies I've ever seen.

:lol:

 

[One Warrior]

Johnathon Thurston is one of the best anomalies I've ever seen.

Fair point, Thurston is a more structured anomaly than Benji.

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Cowboys to keep there great home run form barely in a close game the Warriors don't want to slip up twice in a row expect points to flow like the river Nile.

 

[Iafeta]

I wonder how the Warriors back up mentally for this game. What happened against the Tigers must have been a bit of a heartbreaker for the team. The truth of the matter is they were hot for about 35-40 minutes, perhaps the best 35-40 minute period for the past 4-5 years for the Warriors in terms of their attack. So form wise I'm not so concerned, mentally whether they can get over the loss quickly and move on is the real question of whether they'll be competitive.

Its a very hard and long road trip for the Warriors, for that reason (and their form) head says Cowboys. With Fish's return and 7 players ex Warriors NYC playing this week, heart says Warriors.

Cows by 10...

 

[Cowboys woo]

Scott Bolton in doubt now with a calf complaint.

 

[beave]

FFS, can we take a trick with the injuries???

This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Johns Magic]

This is getting ridiculous.

Four injuries?

 

[elyod138]

Four injuries?

There's about 8 or 9 players missing from the top squad.

I think Beave's frustration is in the fact that there has been 4 or 5 injuries within the last few weeks.

We will be playing with our 5th and 6th choice centres this week.

Yeah but surely the 8 or 9 would include a lot of guys who wouldn't actually make the top team, even now.

It's hard to think of many clubs that have less than 4 of their top team out. The Cows have actually been relatively lucky this year IMO, the same full-strength pack all year, the spine all staying uninjured, the same wing pairing for the last 3 months.

It is unfortunate they have largely been in the same position though.

 

[Eelectrica]

When in doubt go the home team? Toss a coin?
Both teams can be brilliant at times and then completely brain dead.
So to the team I end up picking because I'll be wrong either way.
Sorry Warriors I'm picking ya. Bounce back factor and cowboy injuries.

 

[One Warrior]

A win from the boys this weekend would be good, I got made redundant today.

Mate, that sucks!

I reckon we'll do it tomorrow night, though.

 

[matrightyeh]

tough game could go either way

 

[One Warrior]

Damn straight, thanks for your support, I am liking the look of the team.

 

[elyod138]

Tamou has been ruled out now too, we're f**ked.
