[Apey]

Little interest in this game but its one of the hardest to tip. Can never trust these two teams. Cowboys impressive last week but it was the Titans, Warriors will put up much more fight than they did. I'd probably go Warriors if it was in NZ, but I'm thinking Cowboys at Magic round.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Fairly contrasting teams here. NZ love an arm wrestle whereas the Cows will try to turn it into touch footy. Whoever dictates the style will win this. Not convinced on NQs formline, they havent beaten a lot.

Wahs by 4

 

[JamesRustle]

Wahs to get home in a high scoring game. Metcalf and Drinky to be best for their teams.

 

[Someone2]

Warriors by 12

 

[Fangs]

Both due for a loss. Draw maybe?

I'll go Warriors for no reason.

 

[Bazal]

Yes, Kaotic Kosi is back

 

[Wb1234]

[Wb1234]

[Diesel]

Tupiki doesn’t touch it

 

[Diesel]

First winger to get a challenge correct?

 

[Wb1234]

Great set warriors but he bombed it

 

[Diesel]

He bounced it but good try attempt

 

[no name]

He was about 8 away

 

[flippikat]

Warriors attack looking keen. Positive signs.

 

[Wb1234]

Saved a try with the knock down

 

[Wb1234]

Cowboy taken out ?

 

[no name]

Wahs getting wah’d

 

[Diesel]

Fair call, nothing in it

 

[no name]

Cows centre did more damage
