[Rhyno]

Cows by 20

 

[TheFrog]

The Dragons have sprung to life on the back of a couple of strong forward performances and Darcy Dugan finally waking up for the season, but this will be a tough assignment indeed.

 

[Hutty1986]

Oh lord.

If we stay within a couple of tries, that will be a terrific effort for us at this stage of the season. Cowboys pretty much unbeatable up there.

 

[to_ddeath]

Cows by 14, best case scenario.
We'll tough it out for a while & come up with the usual crap in the attacking 20 for the most part.
Need to bring the Cows down to our level to have any chance of staying in it...if it comes down to a fast track game early on we're done by plenty.

Cowboys, can't see it being a flogging though, dragons annoyingly pull you into a grind.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Cows 28 Dugan 16

 

[Clifferd]

Cowboys 28-10 or something like that

 

[Whino]

Cows easily.

 

[pantherz9103]

Dragons playing competent opposition and away= Dragons loss

So annoyingly annoying isnt it :lol:

 

[Desert Qlder]

With all due respect to the Dragons, who are an honest footy side, we really need to put this one away with little fuss. The early season dust has been well and truly blown off and it is time for the premiers to get into full stride.

Javid Bowen has been given an enormous vote of confidence, and he will come under some pressure in defense. But this is a game for the forwards to dominate, and lay the platform for a win.

It will be disappointing if we don't live up to the expectations for this game.

 

[Shorty]

Dragons have good defense but yeah after Broncos I'm hoping for a polished performance by the Cows.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Dragons to reach into the Cows, up to their shoulder, A.I style. No glove.

Saints by 8.

 

[_Johnsy]

If we can keep the Cows to -4, we're a big chance.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Will miss linnetts defence and his usual 100+m getting out of our own end. Agree with the above comments. Can have 75% possession but somehow be only up by 2 at halftime with a few widdop penalty goals and nightingale pulling something out of his ass

 

[_snafu_]

I'm predicting "try to Ben Cummins of the Cowboys and/or Dragons" from skeepe at least once.

 

[GongPanther]

Dragons by 14.

 

[Rabbits20]

Cowboys by 16.

 

[SBD82]

Dragons have a bit of a habit of dragging opposition into a grinding style of game at the moment.

With the exception of the sharks they've done it in every game this year.

I think the cowboys have too much class in too many areas to get involved in the grind, but if they lose their way there could be an upset.
