[Alec]

We'll probably smash them because that's been the pattern all year.

 

[Scorchie]

Smash them, if only to end the storyline that a Cowboys/Broncos game is a chance for golden point anymore. They’re cooked, time to end the rivalry with this game

 

[I bleed Maroon]

They'll be up for this game, because they always are, and Milford and Nikorima will be deers in the headlights going up against Thurston. I'm expecting another loss.

 

[winslow_wong]

So what does Wayne do this game? Boyd back to fullback but then we leak points again on the left edge?

 

[holdzy]

Bounce back factor. Cows should be more worried than if we put 50 on the Dogs.

 

[CaptainHook]

I'm predicting a win. We were meant to lose to them last time but we pulled through.

You should just bow out like you promised after our last loss. It would be better for all of us fans. Please don't play the "passion" card again.

 

[Donald Garner]

Watch us beat the cowboys, Souths and roosters only to lose to manly the last game

 

[Battler]

You can be assured of one thing here: the refs WILL be up for this game. If I was a gambling man I would put money on this going to golden point.

We should play a lot better than we did tonight, in fact this game being on next week may have impacted our performance. At least that's how I'm coping with it as of this moment.

That was my feeling after about 10 mins into the second half. One eye on next week.

We have been beaten by, or scraped home against every single bottom eight team this season. Wayne wanted them to be ruthless against the Dogs. Ruth would've gone better. Cowboys are in this up to their ears due to our 'take it easy, it's only a shit team' attitude.

They won't play that badly against the Cows, in fact I think they had their minds on this game. They will want to send off Thurston fittingly.

 

[holdzy]

Also I wouldn't be rushing Boyd back to fullback.

 

[winslow_wong]

Also I wouldn't be rushing Boyd back to fullback.

Maybe in attack he should be back to his fullback role. Isaako is another Hoffman and Boyd is our best defensive option at left centre.
