Finals Week 1 - Cowboys vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[rnabokov]

doppelgangers a little dramatic.....!!!! Afterall Matty Bowen is still alive as far as I can tell !!! on topic, Matty Bowen has always been a right pain in the arse and definitely the player from NQ I fear the most...I feel for Norman though..on a hiding to nothing. No mistake, this is a game the Broncs can win.

Ah, poetic license!

And Son E, I reckon Bowen is this season on form, very comparable to Barba, taking into account the significant age difference, and almost as lethal, which is lethal enough

Why's it matter if Matty Bowen is still alive or not? As far as I know doppelgangers never depended on one lookalike being dead...

I was just being an idiot.

Interesting. I've never seen it used before it specific context of one person being dead.

Let's hope the Broncos can kill Matt Bowen's season this week!

Not that this really matters, but you are right that is the dictionary definition of a doppelganger - however pop culture has fully accepted the term just to be used for someone that looks the same as someone else

Great team on paper.

This side can beat the Cowboys if they rock up.

So glad Hook is persisting with Norman.....

Pity Lockyer isn't haunting Norman ....

As horrible as Norman was last week, and as much crap as we've given him, I hope he lifts and shows us what he's really made of.

Yep, way too late in the season to change anything. Let's hope the win gave the boys some much needed confidence & energy.

 

[The Brizz]

Based on the teams and on form Cowboys by 12.

I just hope that if we are to be beaten, we go down swinging hard .... and with some real fight in us.
