I'd like to think we can win this one, but my head is telling me we will leave Townsville with a loss.
Have a bad feeling about this especially given the Cows lost last night to Souths. Matt Scott should be back for the Cowboys also I believe.

I hope Neil Henry is still kicking our boys asses while they try to sleep. Im expecting them to come out firing this week after that stinker of a game.

 

[Deacon]

I think from memory this is our first game at Dairy Farmers since 2009 where Morris scored 4 in a losing side, surely both teams will improve from the recent rounds performances

 

[BDR]

Tough one to pick, we're in patchy form but seem to do a lot better at home (traditionally). Dragons coming off some decent wins.

I'll take us 1-12 but it's without confidence, could go either way.

We've won our last 2, but haven't played overly well.

The excitement of the finish of Anzac Day has hidden the fact we still made some basic errors during the game.

This will be very a tough game to pick.

Who knows with this one. It all depends on what Cowboys team turns up. Going on previous home games, an easy Drags win is on the cards.

 

[gronkathon]

If Bowen runs the ball and stops trying to be a primary playmaker the Cows to win by 14

tough game taking nq by5

 

[kia ora storm]

Dragscum by 6...

 

[God-King Dean]

As I've said in the Dragons forum, Thurston seems to really struggle against our style of defence, so I'll be surprised/disappointed if we lose this one. Dragons by 16.

 

[Saints fan]

Harder to pick than a broken nose. Winning form is good form, so tipping us by two points.

 

[BDR]

Matt Scott was forecasted to return for this match, but he wasn't named in the team. Hopefully he's a late inclusion because we're missing him up front.

 

[Timmah]

Teams named - Dragons have Prior in the 2nd row for the injured Scott, and De Belin back on the bench in place of Josh Miller.

[Charlie124]

Im expecting to see Scott run out still. Henry loves a late inclusion.

 

[Cowboys woo]

I think we'll continue our LWLWL record and grab a tight win... but the scoreline will be flattering. Low-scoring game but we'll kick away at the end. Cows by 16.

 

[natheel]

Cows by 8

if the cowboys blow out to an early lead during the first half...then they will go on to win.

if it turns into a low scoring arm wrestle, then the dragons will get on top through sowards kicking.

 

[Jason Maher]

Should be a cracker of a game. Cows by a Thurston forward pass... :sarcasm:

 

[Rhino_NQ]

If atleast one of Bowens harbour bridge passes to the third row found a back we could have still stolen that last game even after being absolutely sh!thouse. Most worrying part is picking the ending when we were in a scoring opportunity for the last set and thought to myself 'Now the cowboys of old will come up with a mistake right now" and before i even managed to finish the sentence it happened.

Still there team is definately there to do well and i reckon after having to watch the replay of the game a few times this week they would be keen to fix up the next team that comes there way. Scotty is a huge plus if he is a late inclusion and will have us by 4 if he plays
