[I Bleed Maroon]

Cows, easily

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Hopefully we can start a bit better than last year

 

[Rhyno]

Cows by 8

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Matty Scott pain free and getting a significant % more out of his lifts and strength work is a scary thought. Pending the lineup but would love to see Hess have a crack at a sizeable sharks pack

 

[Vic Mackey]

have a feeling the cowboys will rack up a score here. sharks outside back defence was easily exploited by the tigers and the cowboys will be 10 times more dangerous. NQ by 22

 

[typicalfan]

Cowboys are notorious slow starters. Expecting an upset. Sharks by 8.

 

[dogz08]

yeah i also think the sharks will win this

 

[GongPanther]

I'm on the Sharks.I expect huge things from them this year.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Going to take a while for the new halves and backs to gel imo... Left edge better be sorted by kick off. Moneys on the Cows for this one.

 

[Card Shark]

I'm sure we will be looking for revenge after the flogging in the finals last year.

That might just be enough incentive for us to get a win.

Anyway, it's round 1 & anything can (& does) happen. I'll be happy if we escape injury free & then go forward from there, starting with the Dragons Rd 2.

Yep as a cows fan if you win 1 of the first 4 games the it's situation normal .

Wouldn't be at al surprised if we get rolled .

Cowboys by 7

 

[Maroon4life]

Will be a good game, Sharks to win in a close one.

 

[Big LIMA]

Can't imagine the Sharks getting up here, as much as I would like that.

Cows by 14.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Sharks 16-12

 

[Mig2006]

It's way too hot up here for the Sharks. Cows to finish the stronger and win by 6.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

It's way too hot up here for the Sharks. Cows to finish the stronger and win by 6.

I thought it was channel 9s job to use the heat as an excuse for us winning

 

[Jason Maher]

The Sharks have the squad to mount a challenge this year, if Barba can rediscover some of his old form, Bird avoids second year blues (easier to do that at centre), and the squad can gel. And someone can convince Paul Gallen to concentrate on running and tackling hard and to stay the f**k out of their attacking plays.

 

[footy75]

Surely Cowboys will want to change their last 2 years of shit starts. Will be a good game.

Cows by 10
