Weeks ago I penciled this one in as a loss, but after last weeks loss, I backing them to win. Hopefully they get right what they got wrong last week.

The Cowboys have no excuses here, we are missing far more than they are.

Dugan
Merrin
Nightingale (will be ruled out)
Thompson
Frizzel
De bellin
Mathews (suspended last night)
Farrell

We've basically lost our pack.

hoping Taumololo has a big one, been a little bit quiet of late

shame Lui has to come back

Never a Liu fan ,but that game against the Tigs showed that while you can win a game just on defence ,a set of halves with some playmaking ability is a big bonus .

So I have no probs with Lui .
Kostjaysen is a solid reliable player ,but no playmaker .
& up against Widdop & Benji we will need something .

Who writes the LU previews?

"O'Neill has developed a solid combination with Matthew Wright which the Dragons will need to contain if they hope to stop the Cowboys"


should read "which the Dragons will need to run at all night and score a billion tries"

More like Dragons got no excuse to lose at home we lost our best halves and lost our best forwards. Cows will be lacking the attacking spark as seen in the Cronulla game. Cows will lose this one but will rebound post-Origin at full-strength. This game is a write off like the Tigers game, a win is a bonus. Thankfully, Cows got enough points that a loss won't be too detrimental to dropping out of the top 2/4.

You are more confident than Dragons fans. Dragons will likely have 5 guys playing first grade for the first time this season as well as 3 others that probably wouldn't be in first grade if at full strength.

Not disputing you have lost some serious quality, but we have lost our fullback, best winger, entire back row, 2 bench forwards and a replacement winger.
We have Nathan Green in the back row, enough said.

Massively understrength for this game but our wealthy halves should earn their pay cheques for the first time in a few weeks and win this for us. Should still get the win.

Im excited for this one, i reckon it will be a cracker, if we get home itll be on the back of our halves.

I am thinking the Dragons will get this on the back of Widdop and Benji but won't be surprised if the Cows get up either.

11 players out for us, can't see any combinations working here tonight.

Be a miracle if we win this.
