Cowboys favs on form,they were robbed of beating the best and most consistent team of like the past 10 years away whilst Parra lost at home to a team without there best players

Beating Manly away(Cowboys won that game in my book) > Losing at home to a team without there guns

I'd love to judge form on one game but that's foolish.

Not as foolish as thinking the team who has won the past 2 wooden spoons,the team that has won 1 of there past 21 away games,the team that hasn't won in Townsville since 2000 and the team that is barely in the top 8 are the favs for this game

Cows are massive favs,just deal with it

Only in the NRL can a team lose 5 out of 7 games and be favorites.

We will see.

No Lui means you guys might only score 4 tries instead of 5 or 6.

Here we go, once again I will get my hopes up before kick off. Maybe this time there will be no swearing and kicking of furniture at full time. Am happy to see Lui dropped because it means Green is trying something by changing what isnt working. Now it is down to the boys on the field. Gonna go out on a limb and say Cows by 10.

The battle for the underdog tag between haynetrain & canard will be a better contest then tonight's game.

Eels by 4

Pretty much an unloseable game for the Cowboys

# Eels 1 win away from past 21
# Apparently going to rain up there(Parra duds in the wet)
# Eels haven't won up there since 2000
# Luke Patten said he has to keep Cowboys fans happy
# Cowboys will win penalty count 40-4 after what happened against Manly


Cowboys should be $1.04 Canard,everything in there favour here,unloseable :cool:

How was that not a penalty? Taumalolo was clearly in front and inside the 10 when thurston picked it up.

I don't know why black and white rules are so often ignored

We had a very, very good try disallowed for us against the Panthers because a player who didn't touch the ball was offside from a kick, yet here one get's given against us. You've just got to love that consistency. :crazy:

Not sure about the try that was disallowed, but that was the right decision. He can't just disappear.

Taumalolo was very lucky there. What could be gained from running forward when you're so far in front of the kicker? Brainless.

Didn't have any effect, but the Cowboys could have no complaints if it was ruled out.
