Late Mail Round 14
​

DRAGONS V COWBOYS
Gavin Cooper has travelled with the Cowboys and is expected to make his return on the bench. Scott Bolton will start in place of James Tamou (suspended by NRL for DUI). Ricky Thorby has been named in the 17 and it is unclear who will make way for Gavin Cooper. Ashley Graham has been cleared of an ankle injury and Johnathan Thurston will return despite nursing a groin injury. The Dragons have not announced any changes.
SEA EAGLES V BULLDOGS
The Sea Eagles will be 1-17. The Bulldogs are also expected to be 1-17. While NSW coach Laurie Daley will have all but made up his mind, prop Aiden Tolman has one more chance to press his claim for Origin selection.
RAIDERS V PANTHERS
Matt Moylan will come straight back into the fullback spot in a straight swap for Wes Naiqama (ankle). Penrith remain in second-tier salary cap strife and Moylan's inclusion will be a week to week prospect. Edrick Lee (broken arm) has been replaced by Sandor Earl for the Raiders. Terry Campese and Josh Papalii were both cleared by the NRL match review panel.
SHARKS V EELS
Jacob Loko will not return to the Eels NRL side and will play at lock for Wentworthville in the NSW Cup.
RABBITOHS V TITANS
Luke Bailey (hip) is in doubt after missing a training session this week. Ben Ridge is also in doubt with a pectoral injury. The Rabbitohs are expected to be 1-17 with Beau Champion ruled out indefinitely with a broken leg.
STORM V KNIGHTS
Melbourne Storm star trio Cam Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk will only return to training tomorrow, following two games in four days last week. David Fa'alogo is out with a knee injury for the Knights. Craig Gower will travel with the team and is expected to start on the bench, replacing star rookie Adam Clydesdale. Danny Buderus and Akuila Uate are also in the frame to return, with Wayne Bennett to make a call on the pair tomorrow.
ROOSTERS V WARRIORS
Boyd Cordner has been cleared by the NRL judiciary and will play. Kevin Locke (hip) is at long odds to play. It has forced the Warriors to move Glen Fissiahi to fullback and Ngani Laumape to the wing. Russell Packer (sternum) has been cleared to play.
BRONCOS V TIGERS
David Nofoaluma (ankle) did not train yesterday and is not expected to recover before Monday's game. The Wests Tigers are yet to name a replacement. The Broncos are yet to clear Corey Norman, Josh Hoffman and Jordan Kahu to play after all three picked up heavy knocks last week.

[Big Pete]

Cowboys - Dragons are one of those frustrating sides that are terribly inconsistent and I think the results of last week will come to bite them on the bum.

Bulldogs - I think they're on a roll and the Sea Eagles aren't looking all that flash.

Raiders - At home will be tough to stop and from memory they have a history of going tit for tat with the Panthers.

Sharks - Eels are in free fall at the moment.

Rabbits - Should be too strong for the Titans as they welcome back all their stars.

Storm - Melbourne at home against a Knights side that is looking really uninspired. Last week's performance was a
painful reminder of the bad times with Bennett.

Roosters - Warriors are on a mini roll but the Chooks at home should account for them.

Broncos - Back at home against a wounded Tigers outfit, surely they pick up a win this week.

 

[Broncoman]

My tipping record with the Cowboys is 100% let's see if it continues tonight.

 

[Morkel]

I tipped the Dragons but put $10 on the Cowboys at $2.60- ish.

 

[Alec]

Wow, another awful match to start us off. Could end up being a cure of insomnia.

 

[Kaz]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

Tim Gilbert is on.

 

[Broncoman]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

Tim Gilbert is on.

What game is 9 showing, I've recorded the live game and going to watch it later on.

 

[Kaz]

What game is 9 showing, I've recorded the live game and going to watch it later on.

Cowboys game. (QLD)

They just said Hadley is calling the game.

So one nuffy to another.

 

[Broncoman]

Urrgh great can't stand listening to that guy but anything is better than Raaaaaay I suppose.

 

[vertigo]

Cowboys are tip.

Reverse mocker working again I see.

 

[Alec]

It sucks that Gav Cooper is injured. Wouldn't have minded him playing for QLD. At least he's much better than McQueen and better than Te'o and Gillett atm too IMO.
