[perverse]

Unfortunately I don't believe the Cowboys will play that shit at home twice in a row. Hope they do, though.

If our pack can contain them, our backs can certainly sizzle here. A shame we don't have Tariq for this one.

 

[Noname36]

Cows should win due to the bounce back factor. Knights don't play well the further away they get from home either.

 

[9701]

Knights by 14, maintain the faith.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

If the Cows play like they did on Saturday, the Knights are every chance

 

[Canard]

I expect a lot more penalties for ruck infringements, now that Robbo and Uncle Wayne's "crackdown" has been exposed as a myth.

The Roosters wrestled the Cowboys out of the game, so I would expect both teams to now go for it.

I honestly can't pick this one, my heart says Cowboys but my head says we always start the season poorly.

 

[Swarzey]

Hopefully it's an entertaining game. Can't see the Cowboys playing the same way they did last week and I expect us to be a little more structured. I'll take us by 6 and that's solely because my heart says so

 

[Rhyno]

Cows 13+

 

[kia ora storm]

Cows by 8...

 

[Joker's Wild]

The bounce back factor will be big from the Cows and JT will be looking for a big game

Of course, JT is my SC captain so he is just as likely to put in another turd performance

Cowboys by 10

 

[MightyMoo]

Mighty mighty Cowboys

 

[mozza91]

Knights by 4 in an entertaining clash. Scott to make Thurston his bitch..... Again.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Can any Knights fan explain to me why your current Australian rep can't make your strongest 17?

Is Sione really that good? Or is Rick Stone a raving lunatic who is risking losing a future superstar to the Dogs by not picking him ahead of the likes of Gidley and Macanus?

 

[Mr Chook]

Cows got pumped in the press up there after their loss and will be looking to make amends in a big way. Cows by 20.

He's stuck between a rock and a hard place because someone thought it would be a bright idea to make Kurt gidley captain

 

[Noname36]

Gidley is a better fullback than Sione...people just overlook that and think he's generally shit due to the crap he's served up at hooker and half.

Sione is good enough to be able to slot in anywhere and do a good job but fullback is far from his strongest position. He could develop into an excellent one of course but his future is more likely at centre.

McManus was also one of the Knights strongest on the weekend.

Sione will end up playing anyway. Stone had him in the squad even before Gidley was injured last week. Stone's team lists on Tuesday mean f**k all.

 

[Maroon4life]

Cowboys easy here, 18+

JT to put on a clinic.

 

[God-King Dean]

Cowboys by 16.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Cowboys by 16.

Do you even football m8?

 

[Noname36]

Knights fan but expecting Cows to win comfortably. Not surprised they're such heavy favourites. They've copped so much criticism for round 1 they'll come out firing. Knights will probably struggle in the heat away from home.
