If actual form is anything to go by - then them by plenty - but if we go on our formline this year, which is = LWLWLWLWL - then us by 1

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

cows by 32

Mullen always seems to turn it up vs the cowboys. 8 tries and 5 motm awards in the last 6 years?

We'll need Cowboy slaying Mullen to be a chance. Cowboys were very, very impressive in belting the dragons the other night. Tamou, Scott, Cooper, Sims... This really could be a flogging.

 

[The Showstopper]

I hope Bennett rolls the dice and gives Liki a run alongside Aku. Wes is back to old habits. Sau is crap. Liki is super quick and has a flick pass. He created tries galore in the TC for his winger. He will get Aku the ball.

Us by 8

 

[Yosh]

Their forward pack is amazing... We're gonna get run over...


Us by 2...

 

[Zoidberg]

I got 1 wrong tip last weekend, yeah us!

As much as I'd love to see us win this one (and every one I suppose) not too confident.
If we can't beat the Roosters...

 

[Rod]

Our recent record against the Cowboys is pretty good from memory. The Cowboys still look very hot-and-cold to me, last week they looked like premiers and another week they look the opposite.

Hopefully the boys are embarrassed after last week. They should be, so no reason why we shouldn't be a big chance here.

 

[Serc]

I thought we'd win, or at least go very close last week...so I'm very keen to see how they go this week as I thought we were travelling a fraction better than the results have shown this year. Cowboys by a little bit, say 6.

And the weather is looking fantastic all this week and including Saturday - so if you're thinking of making plans to go to the game, make sure you do!

 

[The Showstopper]

We play the Cows well at home. Confident we can win this.

 

[perverse]

as RABK said, expecting another massive game from Mullo. He will turn Thurston inside out with his running game as much as possible. We (Mullen in particular) are quite proficient at illustrating and exploiting the weaknesses in JT's game... and the best thing about it is that when you put JT off his game, the Cowboys go to shit. I wouldn't usually feel we're a chance, but I think we can get the better of the Cowboys.

 

[perverse]

having Matt Scott back for them will be a big boost, though... although Ashton has been doing a fantastic job filling in.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

The cows pack is better than the Roosters pack, Brian Smiths tactics against us pretty much illustrated how to roll us. The cowboys will be watching all the videos and will probably play similar to the roosters. Our forwards should expect to be targeted all game, so it is up to them to turn it around this week and come out firing, otherwise we dont stand a chance.

 

[Rod]

Haven't been following NSW Cup very closely, is Tetevano still injured? I would be tempted to bring someone like him in just to give our pack some size, and drop someone like Costigan back to the bench.

Wes out and Sau in.
We'll keep up or WLW record and beat the Cows. Consistency over 80 mins, no errors and coming up in defence are the keys. We wo';t let the Cows play like the Rooters.
Steak Burgers on Saturday Knight.

 

[The Showstopper]

Willie will be a big bonus tactics wise as he knows the weaknesses in the Cowboys way of playing. He will run at suspect defenders. Hopefully Boyd's tears will be the turnaround. He had to hit rock bottom with his form i mean. Only way is up. A big game is all Boyd needs to turn it around. We all know he is class.

 

[The Showstopper]

liki? Seriously Wayne must not rate him. Better judge than me.

 

[League_God]

at least there is no edwards to come on and fall off tackles. As soon as tets is fit, he should replace edward's bench spot. Can cover backrow and prop.
