[This Year?]

Cowboys by 1 or 2 to send the neurotic Dragons fans into complete meltdown.
Again.

 

[GongPanther]

Nah, this will be a big win to the milkers by 36-6.

 

[Eelectrica]

Hooks last stand?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Cows will do it pretty easily even without a big scoreline. Merge are in free fall.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

oh boy, can't wait for this.. :/

 

[Vic Mackey]

This is the final nail in Hooks coffin

Cows by 8

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol.

Remember that year where there was some crazy Raiders statistic like "if the Raiders won half the games that they lost by 4 points or less they would have finished second" and they missed the eight.

A statistic like this would really be the final chapter of torture for Dragons fans

 

[OzDragon]

Dragons to put up a decent fight until they concede a penalty or try then fold faster than superman on laundry day

But I’m only a fan so what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, its happening.... We will lose 12 games by less than a converted try and be the spooners with the best F/A ever recorded.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Ben Hunt's 300th game this week.

I assume the Cowboys will honour Ben's contribution to the game.

What tributes should the cowboys do for Ben.

Maybe hand him the match ball from the 2015 GF.

Yes, I was told by one of the Team admin staff that there will be a Ben Hunt "tribute" - rightly so, 300 games is a huge achievement. He is also Jake Granville's brother-in-law BTW.

 

[Someone2]

Cows by 30

 

[This Year?]

I've got half an hour to get drunk enough to forget this train wreck that's about to happen.
Help me.

 

[Bazal]

How did they manage to put Mal on the panel twice?

Green screen?

 

[JamesRustle]

Benny's 300th... don't expect t your team mates to lift, you'll have to win it off your own effort.

 

[Bazal]

Lol Griffin

Doesn't sign a hooker. Struggles from hooker. Puts his best, 300 game half at hooker.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Ugh. Not looking forward to Merge failing Hunt on his 300th

 

[This Year?]

Mal and Cronk reaching longer than inspector gadget lol.
