QLD Cup - weekend off​

 

[Valheru]

Warriors

 

[Leber]

We actually weren't that bad yesterday. Not many teams are able to put 4 tries on against Melbourne. Especially since we only played with one half.

With 1-2 injured players back and playing a slightly easier team, we should win this.

 

[GongPanther]

A stern test to see if the FNQ Cows can play away from home. Cows by 4.

 

[Rhyno]

Warriors by 8

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Warriors by ten

 

[This Year?]

I'm sweating on AFB's return to restore confidence in tipping the Warriors.
Still gonna tip 'em though cos for reasons completely unknown.

 

[The Plodder]

Warriors by 16. RTS is back to his preferred position, and Reece Walsh seems like an absolute gun

 

[sup42]

Another week another Warriors back out injured.

Hard to project what will go down in this game. The Warriors pack is now skinnier than ever, the preseason plan was to use size to roll through teams.

That is completely out the window, ergo Warriors back to square one.

Walsh is a big hope for the Warriors, his arrival has come at a critical time, he is looking like the next big thing in RL so pretty excited to see him have another run.

 

[Someguy]

Cowboys win and they will be inside the top 8. I am struggling to get my head around that

 

[Leber]

This is an uncomfortable and dangerous feeling, but I actually feel super, super confident today of a big win.

I don't rate the cows at all. Sure, they have won three on the trot, but that was against a Tigers team that is awful, a Bulldogs team that is also awful (they wouldn't have won if Heatherington wasn't sent off) and a Raiders team with a million injuries.

For us, we played Ok in a beaten side last week and will play even better with Harris back, and a much better backline.

Edit: we have a winger on debut instead of fus. Less confident now.

Very young backline - Berry and Walsh 1 game each, debut for the winger, Pompey 20 odd games.

I’m not confident at all, but I’m hoping for a good showing by us

 

[bileduct]

Cowboys to lead 54 - 0 after 20 minutes, Warriors to come back and win 86 - 55.

 

[t-ba]

That 30 seconds without commentary was divine.

 

[roofromoz]

Damn it, that technical difficulty was better than no Warren Smith commentary.

 

[t-ba]

Promising start.

 

[t-ba]

Jeez was that a nice move or bad defence?

[hineyrulz]

Hess is a dumb shit.
