[This Year?]

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

50 to 0, cowboys will stretch our bussy

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Flanno will have the boys pepped up for this one. 51-0 Cows

 

[jargan83]

As Eminem said, Back to Reality.

Might as well warm up the 50 thread now.

 

[GongPanther]

Dragons by 12. Bizzaro season still in full swing.

 

[Valheru]

Bounce back factor is a thing

Dragons by a try

 

[This Year?]

Referee: Belinda Sharpe

 

[JamesRustle]

We haven't lost to a side from qld that is attached to a geographic area this year and I can't see that changing here. Dragons by 14, Blocker to score a try.

 

[borisdog]

It depends on how well Belinda's guide dog goes. If it's got laryngitis and temporary blindness again it's going to be a shambles of a game.

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Bounce back factor is a thing

Dragons by a try

 

[Apey]

Dragons a good chance here. Cows first game in NSW for the year and they were pretty awful against us really. Dragons won't be that bad again.

 

[Someone2]

Cows by 16

 

[This Year?]

 

[Bazal]

Flanno sounds like a jaded career principal who's just discovered ketamine

 

[OzDragon]

How can the cows hope to defeat an UNDEFEATED on Saturdays dragons team?

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Play like we did in round 1, not 2.

 

[JamesRustle]

Let's go you imposters. Put in at home ffs.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Come on Dragons you merkins

 

[JamesRustle]

Hey birdy, I know fans don't know much, but we know you have to pass the ball backwards.. ya tugboat
