Looking forward to this one. See how the week pans out, might even attend. A stress free QLD derby as a neutral could be a good way to spend a Sunday arvo.

Cows to get up at the death after a mess of a game

Sounds like this game could be a real battle or maybe even a war??

 

[chrisD]

Smells like a good old fashioned round 1 Wayne ambush to me. Unless they lose, in which case questions should be asked as to why he didn't use the ambush tactic.

 

[This Year?]

That's quite a team the Dolphins have in only their 2nd season.
Watching Feldt and Laybutt trying to defend variants of Wayne's left side play will be entertaining

you really take all this tipping of games seriously don't you

 

[Canard]

Despite the 11th placed Cowboys losing talent in the off season, and not replacing them they are raging hot favorites away against the Dolphins who probably had the best recruitment drive of any NRL club in the off season?

How? Is this just the bookies way of getting numbnuts to bet on foregone conclusions?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

if townsend doesnt touch the ball in the attacking zone we have a chance

 

[MRN]

Dolphins running out with their new medicinal marijuana sponsor AND their new signing Herbal Farnworth to the smooth sounds of Buffalo Soldier.

Also the first team to have a defeat song.

'I was gonna win the game, but then I got high'
I was gonna score an awesome try,
but then I got high'
We don't have two points now and I know why
Why Wayne, yeahhhh
Because I got high', because I got high, because I got high.'

 

[This Year?]

*starts waving glowsticks*
