[Rod]

Go Warriors I guess, I'm tipping them. Price will probably run 400m to make up for his paltry 200 in Origin.

 

[kia ora storm]

Cowboys to win in a tight one...

LATE MAIL >
No news from Cleary when he'll trim his Warriors bench to four, nor the Cowboys. In news sure to make Wittyfan and lockyno1 squirm, Michael Witt is on his 16th straight goal i his quest for El Masri's NRL Record of 35 straight.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Hopefully Sione gets smashed back to Disneyland by Wiki. Would mean Wiki would miss 4-6 through suspencion. No loss

 

[Mr Saab]

On one hand i want the Warriors to win, or the other hand i want the Cowboys to win as the Broncos play them up their next week....and if they do lose tonight they will prob not lose back to back home games.

 

[Rovelli]

Huge game for us. A win, and most likely we'll be in the top eight at the end of the round.

We need this one, we play our nemesis St George/Illawarra at home next week...they're coming into form.

I'd defeinitely rather have us going into that game riding a four-game win streak, than having lost tonight.

 

[Timmah]

From SMH

Either Ray Cashmere or Matt Scott will drop off the Cowboys' bench.

 

[Jobdog]

On one hand i want the Warriors to win, or the other hand i want the Cowboys to win as the Broncos play them up their next week....and if they do lose tonight they will prob not lose back to back home games.

If they lose tonight, they'd almost be specials next week cos they won't lose back-to-back-to-back games. They're avoiding back to back losses tonight after being touched up by the Storm a few weeks ago.

I don't particularly care who wins this one because I've tipped one or the other in all of my tipping comps :lol:

 

[MKEB...]

I'm picking a high scoring yet close game. Warriors to win.

Looking forward to this game more than I have in a while.

 

[NZ Warrior]

I'm looking at the Cowboys pumping the Warriors. Because Cowboys like to pump things.

Go the Cowboys!!! May death come swiftly to the cursed monkey!!!

 

[Dutchy]

you really are a tool of the highest order

 

[Hurriflatch]

Cowboys 24 (Graham, Farrar, Jason Smith, Cashmere tries; Thurston 4 goals)
Warriors 12 (McKinnon, Witt tries; Witt 2 goals)

 

[Sanchez]

micheal lucks 40th first garde game on the trot

 

[wittyfan]

Witty's goals carry on from his 2/2 for 2006.

 

[lockyno1]

Witty to dominate the pretenders

 

[wittyfan]

Witty's in supreme form and should take advantage of the Cowboys' flimsy defence.

 

[Dutchy]

Michael Witt couldnt dominate a corpse that has been tied and gagged.

 

[wittyfan]

Penrith and the Titans from recent weeks would disagree with you, Dutchy.

 

[elyod138]

Ben Farrar - 5/8
Jason Smith - Bench

David Faiumu - Hooker
Aaron Payne - Bench
