I think Cowboys attack will be too much for us. Our defence is decent, ranking 6th at the end of the season, but there's not a lot between ours and the Cows really. I think them being a much bigger threat with the ball will be the decider.

Will be very tight IMO

Cowboys don't seem to actually enjoy playing at home and Newcastle will hange in there.

Knights by 2

Making up the numbers. I despise how NQ go about playing football.

Suppose I'll go Knights.

Panthers fan despises an exciting attacking team, sounds about right lol

Nothing wrong with attacking football.

The Cowboys are a disgrace defensively. They are essentially an under 12s side that only play one part of the game. If you only watched the highlights package you'd think the Cows go alright but its not reality.

Cows will deservedly go in as heavy favourites but wouldn’t be surprised if we got them.
All the pressure will be on NQ and not sure how they’ll handle that.

We should’ve beat them up there earlier this year but we bottled it. Hopefully we can do it this time.

Should be a close run thing. Tipping the Cows but not with a lot of confidence.

This could be the biggest margin of the weekend. Fifty percent teams like Newcastle are generally outclassed in the finals, and we’ll be hurrying the out the door with a minimum of fuss.

Going into the game with no injuries and heavy firepower brings confidence into this one.

lol the NRL are shouting the Newcastle fairies a private jet for the ‘gruelling’ trip to Townsville.

As they should. Especially after f**king them over by telling them to organise travel for a Sunday game (which they did) then changing it last minute. Least they can do tbh.
