hahaha, cowboys

Got out enthused yesterday and had no answers for it. No time and no space resulted in errors and no points. Dropping out of the top 4 won't be am option and they will snap out of it

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Yep .we were due for " ONE OF THOSE GAMES" where we lacked intensity ....things just didn't go right .
All teams have them .
Hopefully we are better focused next week .
Us By 16

 

[GongPanther]

Cows by 38.

 

[Whino]

Cows by 20.

 

[ed-grimley]

I thought the Roosters were better than they look, but I was wrong.

 

[Rhyno]

Cows by 16

 

[ed-grimley]

Guerra dropped - absolute dud when he's not in maroon.

 

[Pennies]

Cows.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

ray thompson in the starting side will shave a few points off for us

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Cowboys.

 

[Meapro Ham]

JWH and Pearce back will make a big difference. Roosters big chance of an upset I'm gonna say.

 

[TheFrog]

The side that was beaten by 20 ( and fortunate the opposition put the cue in the rack after 65 minutes) on Monday night had enough big names in it to be a top 8 side, but the fact is they have won 4 games all year. A couple more big names probably won't make all that much difference. This is a side that wilts under pressure.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Lets go Rorters...

Eastern Suburbs boys shoot for 5th win of season against top 4 hopefuls

The Sydney Roosters and North Queensland Cowboys do battle in Sunday afternoon football in what is shaping up to be an extremely important game for the Cowboys. After last week's uncharacteristic poor performance against the Wests Tigers, they slipped out of the top 4. The reigning premiers were off their game badly last week and a much improved effort will be needed against an inconsistent Roosters side that welcomes back Mitchell Pearce. Another loss for Paul Green's men could spell the end of their top 4 aspirations and rugby league fans know how important that double chance is when it comes to finals football.

Must win game for Cows.

 

[Tipster]

Cowboys very poor last week. Roosters not without a chance today.

 

[Meapro Ham]

There's been some late money for the roosters in the betting. Now that's weird. Perhaps SBW is making a surprise appearance

Seriously I think they are some chance but 2.65 seems very short for a team that has won 4 games all year.

channel nine seam to have a JT cam. Just his f**k ups
