[Apey]

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.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Battle of the shit towns.

Will probably be the most exciting game f the four, Cows should win because they are less shit.
