I'll back us to stop their run here. We're playing good footy and we usually go pretty good against the cowboys.

We've done that six times already this season. All the other teams in the comp have combined to do it 14 times between them ...

 

[Rod]

Play like we have been the last 6 weeks or so and we win. Simple. We are better than them and the players should believe it.

 

[timka4]

Difficult, I think we should beat them but I don't think we will unfortunately. Hope we do though

[rnb11]

if we cant beat nq we wont beat brisbane and that will be us done. win and we are all good they better be up for it

 

[perverse]

Yeah, this is a must-win... and another season-defining match for us. If we're fair dinkum about the finals we should be winning the next 3... although that would be awkward given our lack of ability to put 4 on the trot.

 

[Rod]

Same team that ran out against the Storm except Costigan back for Sims.

Even though I think we can and will win our last 3, the way things have worked out, particularly in the round just gone, I don't view this game as a must-win, unless we are talking about still trying to gain a home final. I just did a ladder predictor which had us losing this game and we still finished comfortably in 7th by 3 points, which means it is possible that we could even drop both games coming up and still finish 7th.

Surely if Smith was borderline last week he should be right this week. Unless his injury is more serious than first thought or Bennett is giving him a break.

Fa'alongo is listed as in too but I thought he had a busted cheek?

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Ive torn rib cartilage before and its very painful and takes ages to get over. Id say smith may come back the following week at best.

 

[rnb11]

players still are waiting clearance. smith def more banged up than realized but i heard he is still a good chance and possibly gower

 

[rnb11]

dave will play and expect mason to replace tets but yet to be confirmed

 

[Misanthrope]

It's a must win game, so I can't see us winning it. Is Gower injured? I can't see any reason why he's out and Gidley is in save goal-kicking. Gower was offering much more in attack than Kids.

Gower had a neck issue.

Not trying to be insulting nor am I trying to troll you... However, i've noticed you have become much more cynical these past few years... Didn't you used to do player reviews etc every game? You used to believe in the club but what happened?

 

[The Showstopper]

i have heard some pessimist bullshit in my time but some of the quitter attitudes are starting to wear thin. We pushed the premiers all the way against some dodgy calls. Why bother following this side if you have thrown in the towel? All or nothing last weekend was it? Cowboys are playing on emotion. We repeat Sunday we win comfortably. Totally overrated football team.

 

[RHCP]

I'm nervous about this game. Thurston in ominous form, the Cowboys favourite timeslot, us playing away from home.

Cowboys by 8, Thurston M.O.M

 

[Haffa]

Us by 20.

We matched up well against them at home, no reason why we can't attack them in the same areas again. Gagai and BJ to score a pair each.
