[Valheru]

On the form of last week you would have to go Cowboys but both these sides are bipolar so anything could happen.

 

[Saxon]

Honestly, who could guess?

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Dolphins running out of players let alone good ones.

I think the Cowboys will give the Dolphins a hiding.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Phins will bounce back. The Cows "comeback" was entirely thanks to game management.

 

[JamesRustle]

Cowboys are morals in a high scoring romp.

 

[GongPanther]

The Phins will bounce back. The Cows "comeback" was entirely thanks to game management.

Clearys first game back in a month, Sorenson and Leota missing, and Allimotti's defense were the main reasons.

Cows by 32-18.

 

[Woody90]

Cowboys. Dolphins early season form was probably misrepresentative when you look at the sides they put the cleaners through. Cowboys aren’t completely awful.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

cowboys, watching the game on mute

 

[Someone2]

Dolphins by 6

 

[Bazal]

Has anyone told that thug Kaufusi that a goatee is meant to be on the front of your head?

 

[Wb1234]

Cowboys out of the blocks early

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Has anyone told that thug Kaufusi that a goatee is meant to be on the front of your head?

I believe it’s effective against magpies

 

[Wb1234]

This looks like a flogging

 

[Bazal]

Lol Blocker calling a mid field bomb a deliberate kick

As opposed to the accidental mid field bombs we see every week

 

[mave]

Lmao, wtf has Kafusi done to his head?

 

[Bazal]

Drinkwater has to be the most rocks and diamonds player since Blake Ferguson

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Cows intensity has been good but they had better hope they run up a score before they're gassed

 

[Bazal]

Oof Jesse Browmich defending like Justin Tsoulos.

 

[Artiste]

I have Dolphins with a +9.5 start to complete a big multi - of course they’re gonna get butt f**ked now
