Is this the trap game of the round?

The one we think the Cowboys win because of all the Broncos injuries and the Broncos just find a way.

Cows are just warming into their work. Not only a smokey for the 8 but for the top 4 if the ball gets rolling.

Cowboys by 8.

Losing Walsh has the potential to really hurt us in attack, but now the stage is set for Mam and Reynolds to show something without him. I wouldn't be expecting much creative flair from Jesse Athars, so the halves are running the show.

Call me Captain Pessimistic but i'm not convinced we are any good. Titans are shit, Storm are shit and the Dragons are woeful
so I take zero notice of the last 3 wins. Drinkwater wasn't tested at all last week so this malark that he's turned a corner is just that for mine. Yeah he was better under the high ball but he didn't have to do anything in defence and this aspect has been his achilles his whole career.

I also don't think our forwards will worry them unless they play out of their skin and the bronx forwards shit it up.

Oh the memories......the most overrated GF in history saved by a funny finish and then ruined by JT getting the most undeserved CC Medal on record. Others haven't really deserved the award like Luke Lewis in 2016 or Brad Clyde in 91 but no one else has been the 20 something best player on the field and won it before..... oh the memories.

Yeah that was scripted. Granville or Morgan were the best cowboys with Milford best on ground from memory. Fifita not getting it the year later was a complete joke.

Broncos hosting Cowboys, the biggest drawing fixture in Rugby League history. This will be the 19th time in the last 20 years (excl covid) that it records over 40k at Suncorp.

Finally something we can agree on

Luke Lewis was a worthy winner but yes should have been Fifita.
