[Apey]

Much like last week I predict that's it in da bag.

 

[Valheru]

Surely Newcastle will win this. Their last couple of performances have been ok and the Cowboys are garbage outside of Northern QLD. Also, there could be a 'rebirth' atmosphere in Newcastle for this one.

 

[Swarzey]

If there is ever a week where we can jag a f**king win it's this one. Prepare for the worst f**king game of the year. Expecting the Cowboys to gift us every opportunity and for us to blow it somehow, someway.

 

[Leaguelegend20]

I'll bet my house on the Knights. If they can't beat a weakened Cowboys at home then they may as well fold.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

hopefully Gidley has a few more derps left in him for this one

 

[Smooth Operator • • •]

One more loss would make it the second longest losing streak in the club's history (8 straight). They are already past halfway for the club's worst meaning Plodley only needs to keep plodding for five more games.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

may the plod be with you

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I tell you what Cows, if you lose this, you will lose every game you play in NSW for years to come.

 

[mozza91]

We'll win this. Hardly ever lose on Monday nights at home, no matter how shit we're going.

 

[Noname36]

We'll be up for the game, stick with NQ, probably be ahead slightly at half time...NQ will score 3 quick tries in a couple of minutes and we'll lose comfortably despite being with them for 60-70 minutes of the game. Story of our season.

 

[Chook]

Go Cows as I would love for Slender Man's father to get a spoon.

Chook.

 

[Canard]

I tell you what Cows, if you lose this, you will lose every game you play in NSW for years to come.

Is this some sort of magic spell you have made? Or a curse?

Its about as meaningful a statement as Phil Gould's opinion on who will win tonights game.

 

[Paullyboy]

Who comes in for Tate?

 

[perverse]

We'll be up for the game, stick with NQ, probably be ahead slightly at half time...NQ will score 3 quick tries in a couple of minutes and we'll lose comfortably despite being with them for 60-70 minutes of the game. Story of our season.

This. We'll look completely capable of competing with anyone for about 65-70 minutes. Then the rot will set in, Gidley will do something outrageously stupid, the heads will drop and our season will continue on to the script.

Getting sick of them doing it every week, to be honest. I'd almost prefer to get pasted early in the game - at least it doesn't get your hopes up for an hour or so every week.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

No Tate, No Scott. Knights should be absolute certainties.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

No Tate, No Scott. Knights should be absolute certainties.

We are never certainties. What planet are you on? We are utter shite.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Gidley still playing, that's the most important bit

 

[Noname36]

The only thing that might have helped us was if Thurston got charged. Losing a front rower and winger is nothing when you're playing us.

 

[perverse]

Agreed, that's nowhere near enough to bring them down to our level at the moment. If JT was out, different story.
