We live on!!!

Thank you, Doggies & Rabbitohs!!! Cowboys & Dogs game was a very close affair.

The Warriors are going to have another extremely tough match up there.

I doubt Cleary will drop Swann.

Thank God, we have another chance!!!

The Cowboys.
Your old team Wazza!

I didn't think they would beat the Bulldogs, twice!
Good game, but it all revolves around Thurston.

This is a game we can definately win.

Carl Webb tore a calf last night
Jacob Lillyman is on report for a high tackle on Patten

Let's stop Bowen and Thurston...

If our forwards step up again then I think we will go alright. Their forward pack isn't as strong as the Eels.

Last time we played them up there we just lost and I don't remember us playing that well.

Hopefully a bit more fluency on attack this week.

If we get Paul Simpkins, we are f**ked.

Maybe Wade could "accidently" run into him with a cocked elbow, if the penalty count gets too high.

Be prepared to play against 14 men, Warriors!!!

meh. It will be tough. The Cowboys have won what? 6 games in a row or something?

Thurston and Bowen are on fire, and we don't have a good record up at Dairy Farmers.

They will go in as favourites, but the Cowboys do have some weaknesses. If we can start well and punch holes through the middle we may get a roll on and be too hard to stop.

I give us a chance, but it is probably 60/40 in their favour imo.

Webb and Lillyman could also be missing from their forward pack

We have to dominate them in the forwards.

Must stay disciplined - Thurston and Bowen we might not be able to stop.

I feel though, with momentum, we can easily run over them. The Bulldogs could have easily won both games against the Cowboys in the past two weeks, but just fell short.

I'm feeling alright with this match-up.

Look, mate. Would you just f**k off. I told you, my heart belongs to Ozbash.

If you can't get that through your head, maybe a restraining order could iron things out.

I agree with you there. Cowboys have two real threats and nothing else. Paremata have threats al over the park.

McKinnon

Byrne

Hohaia

Mannering

Crockett

This game will be won for us by our defence.

Thurston showed his weakness against the Bulldogs when he stood in the tackle and got hit by Maitua (I think.) He retaliated and got penalised. It unsettled him.
Our forwards have to catch him and make sure he keeps looking over his shoulder.

This game should give Witt and McKinnon a lot more room to move.

SPCA announces it will look into the monkey affair!

The Dogs proved it twice - give them a bit of ball, momentum goes all their way and they almost ran down deficits in both games.

Of course, Broncos could pull off a miracle and we play them at Suncorp. 99% sure it won't happen, but it's still a chance.

I really like that back line. I just think that semi finals footy is too big a step for Ah Van at the moment. And we need another strike player in Hohaia. Sure, he has been erratic. But he has been very solid at centre.

And don't make me slap the cursed monkey, you know I will. Call the SPCA off.

Underestimate us and you'll lose,simple as that.
Fortunately for you guys I don't think the Warriors are nearly as complacent as the 'Dogs.
